Spring has sprung a few weeks early, or at least at Chanel, where its SS15
couture season was in full bloom in Paris today.
Showing at the Grand Palais, each season Chanel’s creative director Karl
Lagerfeld and his set designers transform the space into a work of art of
its own. After the Paris massacre on January 7th, the French capital could
do with a little lightness and humour, and so the show opened with male
gardeners carrying quilted watering cans to “water” the plants.
Each look could have been a plant, which then opened up and bloomed into
colour in the finale.
The Grand Palais was also in bloom, transformed into a giant terrarium with
giant white origami tropical flowers, palm trees and banana leaves.
If couture-in-bloom was the theme, there were lady-of-the-manor gardening
hats bound with tulle, floral beanie hats, crystal floral encrusted tweed
jackets, and suits in the sugary and pastel colours of a tropical bouquet
of flowers. But there was a lightness in the clothes, too, with
ankle-length chiffon shirts worn open over midi skirts and cropped tops and
belted nonchalantly at the waist.
The couture collection is, of course, made by hand, and it is the
craftsmanship and painstaking precision and time required to make these
garments that make them so valuable and special.
