Last season, the brand was criticized for sending models down the runway in garments made of PVC at a time when plastic pollution is hitting the headlines. Chanel ’s luxury beauty offerings remain at the top of wish lists of makeup mavens, skin-care lovers and fragrance enthusiasts, which have been made easier to gift this year thanks to the. 1987 Inès de La Fressange has a dramatic moment on the runway in a black and white look from the Fall/Winter 1987 collection. In 2013, Karl Lagerfeld was accused of cultural appropriation when he featured Native American costumes and symbols in his "Paris-Dallas" collection. It is not the first time the traditional French maker of haute couture, double-C bags and tweed costumes has come under fire. Representatives of the company swiftly replied late Tuesday, denying that the oak and poplar trees Chanel had sourced from a forest in western France were over a century old but added that "in buying the trees, Chanel also promised to replant 100 new oak trees in the heart of the same forest."Ĭut trees were also used to make rows of benches for the many invited celebrities and clients, including Keira Knightley, Lily Allen and former French first lady Carla Bruni Sarkozy. "Nature is not chopping down trees in a forest, putting them up for a few hours for a show and then throwing them into a skip." The activists said in the statement that the luxury brand is trying to "give itself a more green image while completely divorced from the reality of protecting nature." They added that Chanel had failed at proving whatever the show's point was. Inez & Vinoodh also provided the playful videos (presented in an anteroom before entering the show space) that depicted the stars of Chanel’s model cabalamong them Lily-Rose Depp, Alma Jodorowsky, Rebecca Dayan, and Quannah Chasinghorseturning the camera on them. In honor of the late prolific designer, we look back at some of his most memorable. The dead leaves and nine tall mossy oaks installed for the show reflected the mood of the collection that focused on autumnal colors with contrasting accessories in neon hues and with crystal embroideries. Among the memorable Chanel runway show set designs: a mock supermarket stocked with Chanel-branded products, clusters of crystal shards splitting through the ground, and a chic airport terminal complete with check-in counters, boarding gates, and luggage carts.
However, Chanel's fall/winter 2018 catwalk event on Tuesday, which transformed the Grand Palais hall into a palatial fake forest, is now being criticized by the France Nature Environnement group, who accused Lagerfeld of "heresy" for felling century-old trees for the show. In the past, the German-born designer has recreated an airport terminal, a supermarket, an ancient Greek temple and even a space shuttle launching site in Grand Palais, an exhibition hall and museum complex in Paris, where Chanel usually stages its shows. Karl Lagerfeld's set designs for his Chanel runway shows are nothing short of spectacular. Watch Video: Shoes, belt, or a pearl necklace?
