FASHION WEEK FAVORITE: CHANEL


"Beneath the soaring glass domes of the Grand Palais, the Chanel set transported us to the undersea world of Karl Lagerfeld; an aquatic wonderland of gleaming white stingrays and sea horses adrift amongst coral branches and shells on a sandy sea bed. Lagerfeld had promised “the ground of the sea, but in a very poetic way,” and his models, meandering through this dramatic set to a techno soundtrack abstracted from Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyries,” looked like magical deep-sea sirens, from the pearls scattered in their hair to the sea- urchin shells that propped up the heels of their sandals." -Hamish Bowles for Vogue


Chanel is always memorable, this season being no exception. How darling are the pearls and the tweed? And with the Grand Palais transformed into aquatic splendour, even our wildest satorialist dreams have been satisfied.
