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.

The labels of at least five hundred everyday products had been re-coded in Chanelspeak. The one that most entranced the locals was the recasting of a sac poubelle garbage bag as a sac plus belle definitely not a garbage bag. As Supermarket Sweep as the vibe was, the only goodies up for grabs were the fresh produce and the candies. It was entrancing to see the fashion world's great and good transformed into kids in a candy store by Lagerfeld's spectacle.

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.
