Tuesday October 6, 2015 – Grand Palais
Fasten your seatbelts. The collection Chanel Spring-Summer 2016 will take off on Chanel Airlines to go around the world, Los Angeles, Moscow, Singapore and Rome in the month of December. While Air France’s leaders are making headnews around the world, Karl Lagerfeld paints the majesty and opulence at Cambon terminal. Upon boarding, transient present a new suit version, aerodynamic, 100% embroidered without visible pocket or logo, or any CC monogram buttons. Worn with a straw hat and handbag in the same fabric, yet the coco girls remain instantly recognizable: the so-called magic of the cut. Hair held back by a double ponytail, models saunter in this Cambon-Paris airport created from scratch inside the Grand Palais, equipped with a perfect weekend bag on wheels, the crocodile version will cost you around 60,000 euros. Lagerfeld has also incorporated a 3D printing technology, inaugurated at the Couture show to launch a remarkable bag Rhodoïd Nid D’abeilles covered with a mesh of rhinestones.
For long flights to warm climates, the designer provided some pleated silk dresses, blouses and air zigzag printed pantsuits, playing on conventional airlines color-codes. But it is the silvery metal that dominates, invading baseball caps, necklaces CC, PVC boots, metallic tops and other pins in the shape of small plane.
Sporting wedge sandals with luminous soles or open booties in silver leather and transparent plastic, these travelers show off the latest must-have wheelie suitcase: the “Coco Case”.
For evening, wide skirts and pants come paired with jackets and tank tops embroidered with cabin?inspired silver embroidery, tacked with grosgrain ribbons.
