A romantic underwater setting is the stage of Chanel’s current summer 2012 collection. "What The Water Gave Me" sang Florence Welch, who alighted from a giant shell like Botticelli’s Venus when the show ended. Karl Lagerfeld gives a proverbial interpretation of the pearl theme, the complete expression of which is predominantly found in the accessories. Pearls as hair ornaments, pearls as necklace, pearls as substitute for belt. But also pearl-shiny shell bags or playful seaweed bags are the emblem of a dreamy but very sensitive romantic look.
