The set of a Chanel show is the gold standard of fashion excess: icebergs, forests, the world after the world has ended…nothing is too much for Karl Lagerfeld. The set for this couture presentation gave nothing away—an enormous glistening white tube loomed center stage, so blank that its only possible promise was revolution. And revolve it duly did. When it revolved, it revealed shaggy French pop star Sébastien Tellier, his orchestra, and two giant sweeping staircases fresh out of an Art Deco fantasia from the Hollywood thirties. No, Lagerfeld corrected, "It's an ice palace, a nightclub on another planet."
He had couture stairs and had his models sprint down them, as light as fairies, skipping and spinning. It was an adorable mockery to the notion of classic heritage.
The clothing was a corseted midriff (or crop top) and a short skirt for the collection's defining look. It was energetic, athletic, and it was really the only thing that could successfully match the footwear. Every outfit featured a couture sneaker by Massaro: python, with lace, pearls, and tweed. (The price tag will probably be something in the vicinity of €3,000.)
We can already see artists trying out this look. The singer Rihanna wore the same outfit and matched it with the shoes from Chanel.
