The sky is no longer the limit
Thursday, January 26th, 2012Chanel’s caesar knows very well that in order to sell clothes, first you need to sell a sensation. That’s why for 5 days unseen pairs of hands worked to build a Jambo jet inside Le Grand Palais, Karl Lagerfeld’s favorite location for Chanel’s shows.
Instead of a movie, Air Chanel presented the passengers with a Haute Couture show, during the Haute Couture Fashion Week that takes place currently in the city. This event is almost extinct. in the last few years many labels have reduced or canceled their participation in the Haute Couture Fashion Week, for the articles showcased serve more to wow the public rather than to be worn. In our days, even the richest tend to buy Ready-to-wear collections and not especially made, hand crafted pieces of luxury. Chanel is probably one of the last who can afford such extravagance. In this very small market, they must have 80 percent of the cake or so…
Just Like the mock sky in the windows of the grounded plane, the Lagerfeld’s collection was full of blue in all its diversity. Throughout the collection, pockets were sewn onto even the most delicate dresses, Out of which we could catch a glimpse of what’s bound to be the next best-seller nail posh from Chanel – Metalic light bleu.
