Chanel Resort '16 Cruise Seoul


The makeup of this show is truly mesmerising the influences of that are almost doll like a real favourite of the current collections that Chanel has recently show cased for a few seasons. The show was held in Seoul's Dongaemun design plaza and present the newest resort collection to a impressive and fashion influential audience from Tilda Swinton to Gisele. 

The colours of the show were very bright and in fitting with K-pop culture that is sweeping South Korean youth trends and music.The show was probably held not only for Chanel to show case in Korea but because of the K pop movement and fashion that can be seen there and Japan; both countries are really starting to head fashion styling's. The clothing of the show really resembles how Karl Lagerfeld has adapted and changed Chanel, the clothing was almost abstract art in its versatility and palette's. Some of the clothing though on a strong coloured palette is still materialised from classic Chanel favourites such as tweed for the Chanel style jackets and matching skirts to silks for the shirts that are displayed in both busy materials to more soft simple designs that having matching jackets or cardigans. In fact its impressive how many different materials and patterns are happening in the show, its very busy and colourful; I'm sure most of the audience had long lists of wants by the end of the performance. The mens clothing some of the pieces are made from matching patterns as the women's clothing such as a very busy jacket and trousers; the other pieces in the show are more classical with white loose yacht style pants with usually some design of jacket to feature with. 

The makeup itself is my favourite part of the entire show. Extremely doll like the models themselves looked dainty and innocent as they made their ways around the catwalk; the feeling of the makeup like the show overall was inspired by current fashion and the movements of K pop and Manga. The eyeliner has be done in a way thats not the norm but in pattern with Chanel previous shows. Chanel do love a strong brow so the idea of literally lining the brow isn't to surprising; It's surprising how nice it looks on the models. The lipstick is a bright neon in fitting with the colour scheme and overall look of the show. The hair has been created with black plaited head pieces over the middle parted swept back hairstyles reminding me again of doll like creatures.The skin is dewy and looks not to heavy on the models youthful faces; a small amount of highlight is added to near the tear duct of the eyes highlighting the models eyes and creating a more wide eyed innocent look. The male models in the show have more of a gentle look with swept back hair thats been allowed to naturally start to part and the makeup is just perfect coverage with the accessory of a hoop earring; facial hair can be seen on one of the models.
