Karl Lagerfeld looked to the skies for Chanel's couture show in Paris with an elaborate show staged in a Chanel-branded aeroplane. It took builders five days to construct the Air Chanel plane - set, deep in the bowels of the Grand Palais. While other designers are scaling back drastically, withdrawing altogether or exploring the "show-sentation", with varying degrees of success, Chanel's finances cascade into its couture.The references may have been light, but short-sleeved, slim tweed dresses, just above the knee, block-coloured and with rouleau necklines, were imbued with the aerodynamic neatness of old airline uniforms - an impression reinforced by the strappy, mid- height glittery court shoes.Blue - the colour of sky - was the favourite hue, in all its shades from chalcedony to Pan-Am and midnight. Bags were replaced by ubiquitous pockets - some of them built-into the drop waistbands.source
