Skyline Couture – Karl Lagerfeld appeared to be inspired by air travel and stewardess uniforms for Chanel’s spring 2012 haute couture collection presented earlier today. The Grand Palais was transformed into the interior of an airplane with models walking down the aisles in elongated silhouettes and extended shoulder winged sleeves. Playing up the jetsetter theme, blue was a dominate hue for spring with sky blue, sapphire and navy all making an appearance. Amid the blue display, there is crystal beading, drop pocket dresses and pleated skirts.

Kors Goes West – For the pre-fall season, Michael Kors looked towards the old west for inspiration with sweeping skirts, plaid patterns and leather outerwear.

A hint of romance also appears with ruffled skirts, lace detailing and cinched waists. Accessories include satchel bags, cowboy hats and oversize belts.
