Lagerfeld’s Fall 2009 “Belle Brummell” collection, which brought back the georgette blouse and the slim fitting skirt suit, was nothing less than inspiring. The collection drew from Coco Chanel’s original aesthetic of simple elegance, luxury and sophistication.  Heavy tweeds, frothy silks, ruffles and bows in simple black and white work in unison to create a look that never goes out of style. I translated this inspiration into an outfit I can take to the street.  As Coco said herself, “Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.”
