Since it's not exactly feasible to invite people to view a Chanel collection in-house, as it used to be done, Karl Lagerfeld instead decided to bring the Rue Cambon to the thousand or so people who crowded into the Grand Palais. A life-size facade of the storied Chanel building at number 31—complete with a street runway—had been dropped into the space. The doors opened, "Our House" by Madness struck up on the sound system, and a line of Chanel-clad pedestrians streamed out.
Below are some of the beautiful and unusual shoes to hit the runway, but all are wearable. The shoes with the feathery heel came in pink and white, as well as the black pictured. I think that Chanel seemed a little bit boring compared to the some of the other designers, but Chanel is THE classic in style, and if it isn't broke....
Karl Lagerfeld displayed his creative genius a bit more in the handbags from this collection.
The black and white shoes above are my favorite to come out of this collection. They are feminine, sophisticated and I love how the black detail extends from the heel and the top of the shoe to the platform, as well.
