Coco Chanel : The Granger Collection : Topfoto
One of my favorite details of the Chanel Fall-Winter 2011/2012 runway show were the lace veils worn over the models’ eyes. I love lace in general, but worn over the eyes it’s very mysterious and seductive. While Peter Philips said that the lace veils in the Fall-Winter 2011/2012 show were inspired by cat burglars, the idea was not entirely without any basis in the Chanel brand. In 2007, veils were used on the runway and Coco Chanel herself wore hats with lace veils attached to them.
In the Chanel Spring 2007 Haute Couture show models wore similar veils. The 2007 veils were not made of lace but look like they were made from tulle or chiffon. The main difference is that the 2007 veils had beading/rhinestones near the eyes. I can’t say which I like better – I love both of them. The lace veils are very runway/editorial – I wish I had the guts to wear this out. I need to be invited to a masquerade ball.
