This is not only seen in music alone though. Fashion has seen its evolution through generations, and none has made it more prominent than Coco Chanel, who loved her comfort and practicality but still retainined class and elegance.
Chanel broke the norms of women's fashion in the 1920s/1930s, where she made suits and PANTS (gasp, the horror) for women. Her rationale was that fashion should be comfortable, and come on, no one rides horses wearing skirts... But, what respectable french woman in that era would wear pants? Completely indecent, even rude. Oh, and the introduction of the iconic little black dress which became so immensely popular that up till today it is still being made as a fashion statement? It was used to be worn specially for funerals.CRAZY that it should be worn on daily occasions.
That's why, it kind of puzzles me to see so many people are hating on Alice Dellal, the new face of Chanel Boy (it's a handbag). Here's a picture of her in the ad campaign:
A pure indigenous rocker, rather infamous for taking her top off during a concert as well as drinking alcohol. The rest of her family are famous (and sane) people in the fashion industry.
Many people on youtube and blogs are ranting about how Alice 'destroys' Chanel's classy image coz she is a trashy tattooed wannabe, or how Karl Lagerfeld is an annoying bitch who doesnt know how to choose a proper model. Oh oh and the ironic one: 'I'm 23 years old and will continue to wash my hair daily (unlike the look of her) and wear pretty tea dresses and cardis. IF the fashion daaaahlings don't like that, well stuff them!'
BITCH PLEASE. Good God, the fakest bitch ever, not everyone has to look all sweet and girly to be fashionable, everyone has their own individual style, and the worst part is you dont even SOUND the part. I can totally imagine you saying in a high pitched irritating blood boiling voice: 'pretty tea dresses and cardis'. Dont make me puke thanks. You didnt have to be so rude, totally doesn't go well with the 'tea dress' look you want to pull off. Btw, her hair is awesome, so you can suck on that.
These comments are rather contradictory to what Chanel did almost a century ago. Chanel is now recognised as classy and elegant, but was it really what people ages ago thought of Chanel's clothes then? Of course, she worked hard to get where she was, but that doesnt mean that she had always been recognised for all her life. Pants weren't exactly considered to be sophisicated, just in case you didn't know.
What I see in this ad campaign is Karl Lagerfeld trying to push the boundaries (like he always does) and bring a breath of fresh air and youth to the restricted, forever prim and perfect world of high fashion. Doing something others have never thought of. After all, defying conventions is what it is all about. Alice Dellal is a true blue tattooed rocker whom Largefeld himself thought was the perfect representation of the cool vibe that Chanel boy was supposed to bring. Sophistication with an edge, why not? I dont see how in any way she is destroying Chanel's image, especially when she is not doing anything illegal. She doesn't even curse in interviews!
Oh and those of you who are dissing Karl, if you are so clever, try and take over his position. You'll crumble in a fucking two seconds in his big ass shoes. Oh, and even if you were to survive, people will get bored of you in just two seasons. Otherwise, you would have already been as established as he is.
End of my perspective section today, hehe it's so fun to give my opinions on issues such as this, especially when so many people are bullshitting like they know it all (and when in actual fact havent even done their homework).
Anyway, gonna pick Veron up from the airport in a few hours, cant wait to see her! <3
Oh and guys, check out Adam's performance with Queen in Ukraine, you WILL NOT REGRET. So phenomenal a performance, it brought me to tears. The intonation was a little wonky at the last few songs but it doesnt really affect his overall performance. AS EXPECTED <3
Anyway, MEP concert is coming up, im so nervous coz im putting so much pressure on myself to put up a good show for the people i have invited >.< Practising really hard for you guys! :D
See you later people!
