CHANEL “GLOBE”-TROTTING KARL LAGERFELD STUNS THE WORLD OF FASHION AT PARIS FASHION WEEK

Karl Lagerfeld stunned fashion lovers and fans worldwide today, with his choice of stage decor to showcase Chanel Autumn/Winter collection at the Paris fashion week. The gigantic several stories high rotating globe centerpiece, was indeed a stunner and attention grabber; which succeeded in gaining everyone’s attention exclusively for the duration of his edgyilicious collection.

According to Elle UK, the globe was stamped with flags, marking Chanel store locations. “It’s about the globalization of fashion,” said Lagerfeld, who after all is never one for subtlety. “I wanted a global look, not a French look.”

 He told the AFP, the globe also symbolized Chanel’s history and growth from a French house to a global company. “It’s very simple. One hundred years ago Chanel opened its first boutique at Deauville, today 100 years after there are 300.”
