Chanel autumn winter 2014

All were Chanel and Mademoiselle centric; while her silhouette and various incarnations of her name appeared all over the place, not a single item referenced Lagerfeld by name or by his famous likeness.

As the show commenced, models strutted down makeshift grocery aisles, browsing shelves chalk full of Chanel-branded products, all redesigned to suit Lagerfeld's trademark wit. Even the most traditional Chanel silhouettes were given a sporty revival, modernized through casual layering atop distressed body stockings. The show concluded with a final announcement that the Chanel Supermark was about to close, urging guests to storm the aisles. Posted November 11th, By Colby Mugrabi. Share this Muse Board on.

A huge terrace with a fireplace—it has always been in Karl Lagerfeld's mind as a beautiful idea, ever since he saw photos of the visionary architect Le Corbusier's long-gone Paris apartment. Until now, of course, when the gigantic forest-planting, iceberg-importing, supermarket-building extravaganzas of Chanel shows past were scaled down to mimic the stark geometry of Corbu's designs. At either end of the catwalk were huge fireplaces stoked with digital flames. Above the mantel, a big old baroque mirror. Brutalist and baroque: A typically provocative union from a designer who skates across time like fashion's answer to Doctor Who. But it wasn't simply with the setting that Lagerfeld indulged his long-cherished dream. Le Corbusier was the architect who made concrete a staple of modern design.
