Chanel Evening Dresses

      Browse through Chanel evening gowns for prom! Prom Dresses 2018 feature more sophisticated glamour and elegance than ever. You read correctly: Wood chips were used as beading, paillettes, and 3-D frills among techniques involving recycled paper and organic woven yarn. The wedding look—a dreamy tufted hoodie, dress, and train—was all “made from wild cotton,” said Lagerfeld, quipping, “This is high-fashion ecology. It must not look like some sloppy demonstration!”

A case could be built for haute couture being the most non-environmentally impactful branch of clothing production, anyway. It’s handmade, takes infinite hours of work, and potentially lasts a lifetime, the antithesis of fast fashion’s notorious processes and disposability. As the show unfolded, it became, in a way, a meditation on the timeless validity of Chanel’s principles: pale bouclé suits, attenuated in the skirt, puffed in the sleeve, and with set-away collars; a movement of classic navy and white (there was a lovely white-collared classic French Gigi-at-school dress); and passages of languid pearly charmeuse and black cocktailwear.

• What does CHANEL represent to you?

  I’ve studied Coco Chanel for one of my projects at school. I think she’s completely a fashion revolutionary! And today, the brands keeps growing and growing, and every time it brings out a new collection it become more and more modern! It’s one of those brands that always managed to stay on top…and there is not a lot of brands that can do that.

• Favorite color?

  Black. I always wear black. I mean, look, my whole outfit is pretty much black! I just think it goes with everything and it’s just really cool and chic.
