Analysis

1. Ratio of color used
In this collection, Karl Lagerfeld used lots of black again. There was 49% of the outfits used black as the main color theme. In the previous analysis, White color always occupied the second large ratio in all outfits. However, this time, White color was just used as main color theme for 4 times only. So, what was the second large ratio in all ladies outfit? The answer was Grey color. There was 29% of the outfits used grey as the main color theme.

Here's some black outfit shots.

2. Pink, lightkhaki and blueviolet were added.
This time, apart from achromatic color, Karl Lagerfeld picked three special colors in the collection, they are pink, lightkhaki and blueviolet.

It is not surprising that Karl Lagerfeld picked pink in the collection.
Pink is also appeared in some collection, like Fall 09 RTW and 08 S/S RTW.

But, it rarely to see these two colors - Lightkhaki and Blueviolet.

3. Various shades of grey were used.
As we see the pie chart in the above picture, grey color occupied a quite large ration among all ladies outfit. I have made some classification of various shades of grey.

A. Grey in low value

B. Grey in high value.

The below 2 outfits were also in grey color and use chiffon as the material.
What is the different between this 2 outfits?
I think the this shade of grey give me more aggressive and warm feeling.

When compared with 2 pictures, I think this shade of grey present a receding feeling and make people feel more cool.

Moreover, I think the uses of grey color is similar to the 09 S/S RTW collection.
In 09 S/S RTW collection, Karl Lagerfeld was also used many shades of grey in the collection.

4. Use of camellia pattern
