Karl Lagerfeld served up lots of romantic liquid silver effects along with dashes of pastel. Brings to mind a delicious combination: heavy, old sterling and macarons from Ladurée. While this collection is great fun, the Spring 2009 couture was epic – all in white, cream and black. Indulge.

When Karl Lagerfeld erected a Chanel barn for his spring fashion show--complete with haystacks and reclaimed wood--I knew he had something pastoral up his sleeve. While I may not have agreed with his choice of shoes (clogs anyone?), the bags are a completely different story. I love the pla...
