Where: The show took place at the Grand Palais in Paris, where Lagerfeld usually stages Chanel’s ready to wear shows. Unlike the grand settings of seasons past (Versailles for cruise, a faux jet for last season’s couture show), today’s show theme was a bit more subtle. Titled “New Vintage,” the show was an homage to Coco Chanel circa 1932. One of our contributors reports that 6,500 camellias (Coco’s signature flower) lined the entrance. Style.com tweeted that Chanel painted the ceiling of the Salon d’Honneur for the occasion. There were also trays of macarons and little cakes everywhere.
