Fashion Code for 2006
November 7, 2005 | Senay TOPCUOGLU
A showing of Karl Lagerfeld's own line, Lagerfeld Gallery, wound up Shanghai Fashion Week on Saturday night and his designs left many people surprised and some may have been a little disappointed.
The German fashion icon brought to Shanghai his fashion designs for the cold seasons when all the other brands parading on the city's catwalks throughout the week showcased their spring/summer 2006 collections.
As always, Lagerfeld cut all his lengths short, concentrating on sculpted shapes to emphasize the body.
He used taupe, pink and chocolate brown to emphasize the season.
A general use of fur accessories, either on the neck, head or hands, highlighted the designs and gave an overall impression of luxury.
The previous show by Basso & Brooke was more dramatic and colorful.
Eccentric, artful and ornate patterns were on almost every creation trotted out by the talented duo of British designers, Bruno Basso and Christopher Brooke.
The look was at once familiar but entirely new.
Huge hair, printed leggings and ballooning overskirts hiding tulle petticoats reminded people of John Galliano, Vivienne Westwood and others.
Trumpets, keyboards, violins and roses were used as the decorations in the headwear.
