There are fashion shows, and then there are Chanel fashion shows. The late Karl Lagerfeld dreamt up some of the most theatrical sets ever seen, from a Chanel supermarket to an iceberg, and even a beach.
The house has continued this tradition (albeit in a more restrained manner); for the Autumn 2024 Couture show, the Palais Garnier's hallways were cloaked in velvet (to reflect the opera house's scarlet boxes), and for Spring/Summer 2020, the runway was transformed into Parisian rooftops. There have also been notable performances from the likes of Lily Allen and Florence Welch.
