I think I’d be blowing bubbles everywhere with this.

I love the intimate presentation that the house has chosen. I find it far more interesting than the majority of current shows where a blank faced model saunters down a long runway and simply turns back at the end. The expressions on the Dior model’s faces are fun and, at times, cheeky. Not to mention that all the images from the show are far more interesting. Remember all the images that appeared after the fall shows? Who didn’t love the pictures of the models outside the Avenue Montaigne headquarters or this shot of a model looking down at the crowd?
Say what you want about Karl Lagerfeld, but you must admit he’s a design genius. Chanel has always been about the details and finishing; Karl is certainly continuing that legacy.
With all the hype around Chanel last year, both current and past {think Coco Chanel movies}, it’s hard to imagine Chanel as anything but extraordinary and luxurious. That wasn’t always the case, particularly in the time between Gabrielle Coco Chanel’s death and the time that Lagerfeld stepped in.
The Chanel we know today is the direct result of Alan Wertheimer and the outrageous Lagerfeld. Wertheimer is responsible for persuading Lagerfeld to jump ship at Chloe and join Chanel. It is because of Wertheimer that Chanel No. 5 is en vogue again; it was once selling at drugstores and considered out of date. Interesting, no?
