Byzantium and Chanel
After Alexander Mcqueen's fall/winter 2007-2008 Cleopatra-inspired collection other designers seem to be looking back at history for inspiration. This time it's Uncle Karl for his pre-fall 2011 show. Actually eventhough he's borrowing from the past this seems to be one of the best and most beautiful sets of clothes he has designed recently. The fabrics, the colors and especially the jewellery are gorgeous and makes me want to be a fly on the wall back in Byzantium in the time of Emperor Justinian. Where do I start?
