Chanel Pre-Fall 2013 - Elizabethan Inspired

So just from looking at the runway images, you can see that the Elizabethan era has played a large role in the inspiration for this season for Chanel. I love how the Chanel designers have put their own twist on such a historical era! They've managed to incorporate height, the frizz technique, plaits & accessories into the hair, just like the Elizabethans did. In some of their images, they made it look sort of alien like. Here are a few images from the Pre-Fall 2013 Collection;

I really do love how Chanel have taken a historical look and made it contemporary, & they've done such a good job of it! Not only is it the hair that's Elizabethan, it's also the clothes, accessories & make-up. They've really tired hard to represent a contemporary version of this classic era & I think they've really hit the nail on the head with this one.
