From incorporating rotating globes to bona fide ice bergs and even reinventing supermarkets<\/a> to the Chanel runway, Karl Lagerfeld<\/a> has never failed to keep our eyes peeled for what runway extravaganza awaits us for the next show. For Chanel's Fall\/Winter 2014\/15 Haute Couture collection however, the Kaiser did away with the theatrics and instead opted for grandeur and the elegance of a 20th century Parisian apartment as he orchestrated an encounter between Le Corbusier and Versailles. With Baroque romanticism quaintly serving as the backdrop, we were utterly smitten even before the show began.<\/p>

Known for shaking up conventions, Karl's latest couture collection for Chanel was no different. Artfully experimental, and ingeniously executed, this collection unveils the unexpected juxtaposition of classic materials such as chiffon, tulle, tweed and organza with new materials such as neoprene, laminated lace and concrete. <\/em>Yes, you heard right. Whoever knew concrete could ever be synonymous with couture?<\/p>

Concrete was turned into fabric, and like all other fabrics, it was embroidered, sewn, inlaid, perforated and metamorphosed into all clothing form to make up this revolutionary couture collection in which concrete makes its debut into the world of fashion.<\/p>

But that's not all that is making its debut.<\/p>

From couture trainers<\/a>\u00a0last season, flips-flops\u00a0<\/em>have now\u00a0been given the couture stamp of approval as models walk the runway in ribbon-tie flip flops. Comfortable couture has never looked\u00a0more appealing.<\/p>

Footwear<\/a> aside,\u00a0structured silhouettes were rampant throughout the collection as it portrayed the strong and modern women and were personified through\u00a0right-angled shoulders and corseted waists. On a more feminine note, evening wear couldn't possibly more dreamy as feathers were enclosed in tulle and empire dresses had\u00a0long Baroque embroidered trains. Coupled with a colour palette made up of a regal mix of gold, red and rust, mingled with both the muted hues of sky blue and ash grey, and the modernity of black<\/a> and white, the collection was indubitably elegance at its best, and a lovely treat for the eyes.<\/p>

As the show came to an end and Karl walked the runway with Ashleigh Good, a 7-month pregnant bride, we couldn't help but wonder - will\u00a0maternity wear be Karl's next venture?<\/p>
