Paris Spring 2009: Chanel

October 6, 2008 by Luba

One of the most anticipated fashion shows is with no doubt Chanel. For Spring 2009, Karl Lagerfeld impressed everyone with his runway decor, as he decided to bring Chanel’s home 31 Rue Cambon as he stage a life-size facade of the building into the Grand Palais. The charming theme was inspired by a grayish portrait by Marie Laurencin who painted Mademoiselle Coco Chanel in the twenties. The classic tweeds, bows, and camellias were back with a touch of pink sheerness, romantic ruffles, sparkly embroidery, bold accessories and the delicious French chic magic. My favorite? I love the combination of pink, sheer, and tweed!
