Like Natalie Portman in Black Swan, the virginal White Swan, Nina Sayers, breaks from reality as she becomes the Black Swan. That is what Chanel’s spring 2011 show was-a break from reality. Lagerfeld displayed a magnificent dreamlike struggle between principal and style that was clearly intertwined within the fibers of his fashions. Vexing but coy, the collection flirted with boldness in its sequined leggings, spiderweb embroidery, and luxe chiffon's. The models were more than just pretty faces wearing ballet flats, they were walking canvas’s of Lagerfeld’s latest masterpiece.
