Karl Lagerfeld transformed a shabby wing of the Grand Palais into a delicately faded Maharajah’s palace For Chanel's Paris-Bombay collection. Guests were seated at two long tables that faced a sumptuous buffet spilling over with a tempting display of exotic sweets, fruit and Jasmine flowers.
Lagerfeld unveiled this luxurious collection that was inspired by British colonialismand traditional Indian men’s costumes – “since they are easier to wear than the woman’s clothes,” he opined. This is probably my favorite Chanel collection since the PanAm inspired 70s-ish Resort 2008. A few highlights included pearl-laden tweed suits, Nehru-collar silk tunics teamed with soft leather legging-cum-boot and sari-style sweaters.
