Silver Surprise

SILVER IS IN says Karl Lagerfeld. Gold has taken a backseat...heck, a vacation from this week's SP10 Chanel Couture collection. Traditional color staples got the pink slip as black, navy and gold were nowhere to be found. Instead, front row fashionistas succumbed to an avalanche of white, silver, light pink and blue. Karl always does a bang-up job weaving his own style into a Chanel foundation. LOVE the silver fingerless gloves paired with classic Chanel jackets. LBDs replaced with PWDs. (Of course I'm referring to Puffy White Dresses here...) Shimmery bejeweled hair accessories set against heart-shaped hairdos. Please, I don't think Karl panders to the masses with hair to ring in Valentine's Day. No, no I argue this is an allusion to the Lady Gaga hair bow. Karl hearts celebs, of course. (Who could forget 2007's Lohan-inspired ankle pouch for the alcohol monitoring device?) Biggest wake up call for me? Another sighting of the grey-streaked hair. Is this the next evolution of the summer's ombre hair frenzy? Keep your eyes peeled.

PS - I do love the silver tights and want them immediately.

PPS - Out of 66 looks, it was nearly impossible to edit down favorites to the 7 below!
