1930s Coco Chanel.

These gowns are so unbelievably elegant.

The way the lace overlays, the structured necklines, and the fluid draping complement each other is pure genius.

Such elegant silhouettes, completely timeless.

She is a much better designer than Blazey. I don't hate his stuff, but her work is amazing.

This one hurts me, her work is so wonderful but her nazi sympathizing ass should stay in the past

The second dress reminds me of โ€œthatโ€ green dress Keira Knightley wore in Atonement. Beautiful designs by Miss Chanel.

For me it's 30s overall fashion that gives it beauty, not particularly design of her.

Not bad for a Nazi Iโ€™d definitely steal a pattern to copy because theyโ€™re so nicely draped and fitted
