Paris Fashion Week was abuzz Tuesday when luxury fashion house Chanel's models descended on the catwalk wearing bejeweled strips to define their eyebrows. "Browdazzling" is the way HollywoodLife.com described the imaginative spectacle conceived by legendary designer Karl Lagerfeld and crafted by Chanel's creative director, Peter Philips.
The intricate detailing of the eyebrow bling drew even more attention as the models' hair was scraped back from their faces in tight buns and high ponytails.
When Lagerfeld tackled the crystal theme for the Fall/Winter 2012 Collection his followers knew it would be done in a big way. Paris' Grand Palais was magically transformed into a jewelry-lover's fantasy, with enormous purple and grey crystal stalagmites protruding from every surface.
Models.com reported that the runway models were draped in layers of vibrant hues, with razor sharp cuts meant to mimic the shape of all those gorgeous stones. Tiny gems and moonstones even adorned some of those signature Chanel tweeds. The gem inspiration was apparent throughout the collection as hems, cuffs, epaulets and heels were adorned with crystal accents. Chunky jewelry, including necklaces and stacked gemstone bangles, completed the looks.
The Chanel show earned rave reviews from the fashion press.
Look magazine said, "All in all, the Chanel fashion show was everything we've come to expect from Lagerfeld – new, fresh, and in a league of its own!"
"Far out and extraordinary" is the way fashion website HonestlyWTF.com described the show.
HollywoodLife.com reports that bold eyebrows are definitely a trend for fall, so those wanting to incorporate Chanel's look into their beauty routine may want to add gems or crystals into their makeup – on a slightly smaller scale. "Pop one on the inner corners of your eyes or on the outer corner of your brows," recommends the website. "Just make sure you are using cosmetic grade glue and gems!"
