CHANEL METIERS D’ART 2016/17 FASHION SHOW AT RITZ PARIS

Every year, the Chanel Metiers d’Art runway show offers an unmissable celebration of Chanel’s handicraft and savoir-faire. This season, Karl Lagerfeld chose the famous Ritz Paris hotel – which he considers the most cosmopolitan spot in the French capital – to present his Chanel Metiers d’Art 2016/17 collection. After a delightful dinner in a Café Society atmosphere, the journalists and VIPs in attendance had the pleasure to discover the new line, worn by Chanel brand ambassadresses such as Lily-Rose Depp, Alice Dellal, Georgia-May Jagger, and the well-known Chanel duo: Pharrell Williams and Cara Delevingne. Two new models also made a remarkable appearance: young actress Ellie Bamber and Bob Dylan’s grandson, Levi Dylan. As usual, the tweed jacket claims an important spot in the Chanel closet, featuring clever twists like Plexiglas buttons, floral embroideries, and leather details. The collection draws inspiration from the opulent evening dresses women once wore to dine at the Ritz, though updated here with well-defined waist silhouettes. Details such as sophisticated sunray pleats, marabou, and ostrich feathers put the spotlight on the meticulous handiwork of the “petites mains” seamstresses who have built the reputation of Chanel’s Metiers d’Arts couture ateliers. And to honor the Ritz Paris, the iconic 2.55 bag gets a restyling with embroideries inspired by Ritz Paris tapestries. Karl Lagerfeld has presented a rich and sophisticated collection that honors the memory of Gabrielle Chanel and showcases a Cosmopolitan Paris that we definitely want to be a part of.
