CHANEL SPRING-SUMMER 2017: A CLOSER LOOK

With every show, Karl Lagerfeld takes us on a whole brand new journey and this Chanel Spring-Summer 2017 collection is not making an exception. As the soundtrack’s first electronic beats resonate into the Grand Palais – transformed into a giant room of super-computers – the first girls to come out are in fact robots wearing their classic Chanel suit under their plastic white « skin ». Both of them announce what’s coming: prepare to dive into the digital world of Chanel. A journey to discover the Chanel Data Center dedicated to the strong and feminine woman that Karl Lagerfeld loves to dress. This woman is an avant-gardist, she wears futuristic mirrored sunglasses and her metallic Chanel Boy Bag. As usual, Karl Lagerfeld pays tribute to Gabrielle Chanel and her tweed jacket, restyled in pop versions, sometimes sleeveless or with scratched zips. A great mix and match between classic pieces, twisted with street wear inspirations such as oversize jewels, boyish caps worn on the side, mixed a fresh, pink cheek. In times of the hegemony of social networks and the Internet, the Chanel woman is the leader of a new generation of women who want to live in their time.
