Chanel: The tape of life

There is no creative director in Chanel, but there is still a lot of action judging by the film parade of the house of the house, organized with polished precision in Paris.

Presented within the Grand Palais on a cloudy Tuesday, the program marked the last day of the international race that began in New York on February 6, preparing the stage for a surprising exhibition of the last Chanel collection.

Its central connection theme was the black satin tape, which was very loved by the founder Coco Chanel. A tape was toured around each invitation, then it was magnified in a four -meter wide band that slid around the gigantic exhibition room before a spiral of 15 meters high. A set design inspired by the scenographer Will Perron.

Later, appearing blank in a semi-pental print, the reason for the tape was used in some hyper-frequent cocktail dresses and other looks of a collection designed by the Chanel's internal design equipment. The famous Paris House has signed a new creative director, Matthieu Blazy, who starts working this spring and will organize his first collection for the house in October during the next season of Paris Ready-to-Wear.

Despite the absence of a creative director, one had to love the sense of humor. Even in a mass show, which offers about 2,000 guests, the largest of the season, the new outstanding accessories were micro matelassé bags: small bags with library with metallic silver or black patent.

Meanwhile, the coconut obsession with the pearls led to all types of visual tricks: bandanas made of pearls, square tip shoes with three-inch pearl heels thick stamped with the CC logo and a micro-very pearl bag that had the entire row of first row smiling.

The collection also presented some new new costume ideas. Chanel's classic jackets were renewed with only two colgage pockets and Nehru necklaces with butter or cut a lot on miniskirts and covered with white flying necklaces, Medici Cachi style, as Mademoiselle Chanel preferred.

Riffing with authority in the codes of the house, the collection included wool attire of total appearance checks with matchless jackets, gloves, long skirts of '20s, black tip shoes and cloches hats.

Keeping Kicky's things for the night with abstract cocktail dresses with braces print, as well as beige and black and black cardigans skirts and jackets. This marked the fifth collection that Chanel presented from the departure of Virginie Viard the past spring and, if that is, the truth, each has worked a little better. Who is executing in silence the study is clearly not a design.

Everything was driven by a bold soundtrack, from the brain dance music of the Canadian composer Daphni to House Music Heroes Faition.

A perfect foundry, also, with the best possible opening model, Vittoria Ceretti, in a mini cohdress of Super Anthracite wool finished with tulle. The impulse took to the grand final with Mona Tougaard, which passed in a column of multiple stoves tied in a shoulder with a tape. In his hand, a micro band, in a final visual word game.

Next stop: Northern Italy for the next Chanel cruise show at the end of April. Coco would undoubtedly have been pleased by the remarkable resistance of its brand.
