Pre-Fall 2009"There are three things I like about Russia...I love Imperial Russia, from Catherine the Great to FabergĂ©. I love constructivism, of course. And I love Russian folklore, which is very special. What was fun was to mix it all.”
Karl Lagerfeld, from WWD.com

I'm loving this collection from Chanel - not only does Lagerfeld use luxe fabrics, plenty of embellishment and rich colours; most of these outfits are very hijab friendly. He featured several long coats and plenty of full length skirts and dresses teamed with stylish jackets...
Back in August last year, I posted about Veronique Branquinho's Spring 2008 collection
here, where she also showcased a similar technique of layering short dresses and skirts over longer ones. I definitely prefer Chanel's chic take on the look though:
