The recent showing of CHANEL’s Spring/Summer 2017 Haute Couture Collection was in a word: breathtaking. Held at the Grand Palais in Paris, the venue had been transformed into a veritable world of light via the liberal use of mirrors throughout, the white plush seating for attendees, and the elegant silhouettes of the calla lily bouquets.
Exquisite perfection appeared to be the theme, as brand head Karl Lagerfeld opted to honour the house’s venerable history by showing a selection of pieces that had a combination of the ethereal, flowing lines, and elegant symmetry. Hair master Sam McKnight created a futuristic sleek updo by rolling the off-centre parted hair tightly at the back of the head into a flattened bun, very reminiscent of French Galette des Rois cakes.
Makeup maestro Tom Pecheux created a look that may have appeared minimal colour-wise, but decided to up the ante via the use of the silver glitter applied liberally around the models’ eyes. The full breakdown of all products is detailed below, along with images of what was used.
