Pinch me. Chanel, Paris-Bombay show is a tad opulent + perfect, no? Dear Karl, this is quite possibly the most beautiful and extravagant show you have assembled thus far. And for that, I forgive you for loosing my invite. Sigh, Chanel + champagne wishes.
"It's all about refinements. It's the Paris version of the idea of India" — Karl Lagerfeld
Runway Report: Chanel Pre-Fall 2012--Welcome to India!
Karl Goes Bollywood Chic:
For Pre-Fall 2012, Fashion GOD, Karl Lagerfeld decided to be inspired by India, even though he has supposedly never been there. Lagerfeld--always a genius in terms of knowing "the latest and greatest" and what's hot--or going to be "HOT", for that matter-- decided that his next collection, the Pre-Fall Métiers d'Art 2012, would be all about India.
The inspiration was "Paris-Bombay" to be exact, and it was a "Diwali" Feast with a runway designed like one UBER fabulous Bombay Banquet. There was even a mini "Chanel Choo Choo Train" traveling throughout the banquet table during the entire show. He's not dumb: guess what country is one of the most up-and-coming luxury-brand loving markets? Yep, India. How best to capture the attention of all those new millionaires and upwardly-mobile middle class in Bombay than to have a fab chic collection based on their Land.
The Métiers d'Art Collection is like Pseudo-Couture. The pieces are just that much better than the regular Pret-a-Porter pieces that one would usually see at a "regular" Chanel Runway Show as well as the Chanel Boutique. The pieces have elements of the already exquisitely-made Chanel Pret-a-Porter but just that much added refinement, hand-work, uniqueness to also make them "cousins" of the super-expensive one-of-a-kind Haute Couture.
The embroideries were by the famed House of Lesage; head pieces by Maison Michel for Chanel; and the shoes, by Massaro for Chanel. So basically, a regular Chanel Pret-a-Porter jacket will set you back about $3,000. A Haute Couture one: $30,000. A Métiers d'Art one: just in between.

GaGa Clause
Last night, Lady Gaga donned a custom Chanel white tweed + black trim ball gown, with pearls & bows— impeccably designed by Karl Lagerfeld. The occasion was none other than the much anticipated opening of Gaga's Workshop at Barney's New York, where Mother Monster got to play Mother Christmas. Making quite the extravagant entrance as per usual, she resembled a giant snow angel—dressed in couture, of course—slash glitzy tree-topper. The workshop set-up appeared to be inspired by Wonka's Chocolate Factory (hello: chocolate Alexander McQueen shoes, monster-shaped cookies) and The Nightmare Before Christmas qualities (evident in the cartoon-like decor + sculptures)—but with an extra "Gaga" touch. The best part about this holiday shop is that 25 percent of sales will go to the Born This Way Foundation. xo

PS: how lovely is Karl's sketch of Gaga's gown?
