Chanel Haute Couture Embraces the Old World and the New
By SENATUS Magazine | 23 July 2013

Karl Lagerfeld thrilled guests with a spectatorial experience for the French luxury label's Haute Couture Week presentation of its Fall/Winter 2013/2014 collection. The production set specially created within the belly of the Grand Palais in Paris for the Haute Couture showcase consisted of a grand theater reminiscent of a post-WWI scene in the 1940's, eroded and destroyed by the vestiges of time, with an interior stripped of paint and cracked, littered by broken planks off the main stage and concrete rubble off the broken ceilings, brought to mind a sense of nostalgia.

In contrast, the visuals that were projected on the front viewing wall, revealed as the tattered and aged velvety curtains parted, was that of a futuristic metropolis, thus setting the tone and theme of Lagerfeld's interpretation of couture for the upcoming season.
