Chanel celebrates its artisans in glimmering Paris show
PARIS โ Chanel brought its itinerant off-season fashion show the โarts and crafts,โ with its swath of VIPs including Penelope Cruz and Marion Cotillard, back to home ground in Paris on Wednesday to mark its first collection since Karl Lagerfeld died earlier this year. Unlike the seasonal collections that trickle down to set high street trends, the โarts and craftsโ pre-collection aims at showing off and celebrating the work of the artisans that are the beating heart of Chanel, and the Paris fashion industry as a whole. This yearโs homecoming echoes the very first show, held in the salons at 31 Rue Cambon โ Chanelโs storied Paris atelier. โThere is something so generous about how Chanel has supported the Parisian fashion industry as a whole,โ Cotillard said following the show. โChanel is a sort of ambassador for France and Paris over the world and it makes me so proud,โ she added.
