And it certainly was that. \"The idea of a German, romantic neo-classical thing, a Greek theatre in a romantic forest...\" he continued, neatly summing up an unashamedly ethereal mood. \"I saw it in my dream, made a sketch, and then handed it over. People have to make those things. Dress-making is a job. And it worked.\" More than any other name in Paris, Chanel excels where haute couture is concerned and that is due both to the magnificent mind and imagination of the man behind it and to the petites mains who staff this most esteemed atelier. Chanel has 200 seamstresses positively dwarfing much of the competition and they understand their creative director, who has now been at the house for thirty years, very well. All of this translated into the lightest and most lovely clothes. The Chanel boucle wool suit came in a short, youthful silhouette and in pale and interesting colours as well as Chanel\'s beloved black and white. The little black dress was equally streamlined: it was especially sweet with a tulip skirt. Rainbow coloured camellias -- Coco\'s favourite flower -- were embroidered from neckline to hem across slender gowns. \"It takes 2,000 hours to make just one of those dresses,\" said Karl. \"I don\'t know how they have the patience.\" Or the skill. If in the wrong hands, haute couture may be overloaded to the point where it looks like costume, at Chanel lightness is all. And so a lilac puff of chiffon with a fluttering train floated across the sandy floor like a cloud. \"It\'s easy to wear. It\'s very light,\" Karl confirmed. \"I hate clothes that are stiff and heavy, clothes that people cannot wear. This is very much the opposite. It had to be weightless. Add to the mix thigh-high, peep-toed boots and evening gloves in the finest lace and not one but two brides with an ultra-cute couture clad page boy in tow and the end result was indeed the stuff that dreams are made of. A magical moment courtesy of the world\'s greatest couturier. http://stores.ebay.com/Jaxsprats-Unique-Collectibles/Painting-Prints-Posters PARIS — Karl Lagerfeld, Chanel\'s veteran couturier, has shown his support for the legalization of gay marriage in France by sending two models down a catwalk wearing couture bridal gowns. He did that to cap Paris\' Grand Palais fashion show on Tuesday and also had a young nephew of his accompany the women models as they walked forward holding hands. Francois Hollande plans to legalize gay marriage and thus allow same-sex couples to adopt and conceive children. But not everyone in France agrees that\'s the way to go. On Jan. 13, hundreds of thousands of people marched in Paris to oppose such a law. Asked if his use of lesbian couture at his show was designed to support gay marriage in France, Lagerfeld replied: \"Of course it was.\" \"I don\'t even understand the debate. Since 1904 (in France) the church and state have been separate,\" the German-born designer told The Associated Press. He said people who consider marriage a sacred religious union can continue that tradition in their churches, temples, synagogues and mosques, but that all religions should tolerate gay marriage. However, Lagerfeld also said he opposes allowing gay couples to father children born through artificial insemination.
