chanel couture.

love how kaiser karl went back to the roots of haute couture -- class, art and opulence.

































i love how the traditional quilt gradiates into a shibori effect; how the sequins made everything look like it was dipped into colour liquid. the shapes were modest, but the add-ons were crazy. there's no hidden glamour, no "intellectual dressing", just full on art.
