As a parting gift, Chanel is taking over concept store Colette for one month before it closes.
There was a collective sadness among the fashion crowd after the announcement of an iconic Parisian store shutting it’s doors after 20 years of operation. To mark the history, and the fact that Karl Lagerfeld has been a fan since day one, Chanel will bring it’s universe to the first floor with a dreamlike scenography and special events.
From today, visitors are invited to plunge into a décor inspired by the 2017/18 Cruise collection The Modernity of Antiquity, it deploys an Ariadne’s thread in ecru canvas draped around the entire space where they can explore the AW17 line and then the cruise pieces from the beginning of November.
The Ready-to-Wear space is organised around three central themes: day, which puts the accent on colours and prints, night and its sophisticated dresses, and finally sport with its chic relaxed looks. Original products available as limited-edition series will also be on offer throughout the month of November such as T-shirts created by Karl Lagerfeld and even adidas Originals customised by singer Pharrell Williams.
But that’s not all, Chanel ambassador Caroline de Maigret’s will be at the store for a talk on style while the house’s creative makeup and color designer Lucia Pica will host a beauty event.
Clearly being a friend of Karl’s and Chanel’s has it’s perks, even towards the end of one stylish run.
