              Carmen Kass at Chanel Spring 2011 Ready to Wear

   "These days, a fashion show offers approximately forty looks. If there are more than fifty, people begin to slyly look at their watches. With talent to match his conceit, Lagerfeld showed eighty-six looks-and everyone was riveted. It took each model five minutes to walk the garden paths, which were designed so that clothes were coming at the audience from all directions.

   Then came look number 82: model Carmen Kass was  completely cloaked in a dress embellished with extraordinarily long pale orange ostrich feathers, swaying, rising, and falling to match her every footstep, hip shift, and arm sway. What made the dress so magical was that when Kass would pause and pose, the feathers sheltered her like a cape, but then when she walked, the lightness of the chiffon backing caused the feathers to flutter behind her to reveal her shapely torso. Models rarely smile these days, but you can sense when they enjoy what they're wearing. Kass could barely contain her delight in knowing that she was the envy of the full crowd, models included.

   'Where do you wear that?' asked one confounded retailer.

   'Anywhere you want to,' snapped an editor without ever looking over her shoulder. And whoever winds up lucky enough to wear that dress will go anywhere she wants to."
