Chanel Spring Summer 2020

Its a bi-annual event. The last day of Paris Fashion Week/PFW falls on a Tuesday with CHANEL closing out a week of catwalk extravaganzas.  

Elsa, a fashion show dresser, told us the invitation is a key. This year's theme was Paris rooftops.

Something I know pretty well by glancing out my window.

An interior shot of the set from The Guardian. La Mode used to tell where designers held their shows.

No more sadly. You have to know someone (or be someone).

CHANEL SS20 is always reliably at Grand Palais 10:30am putting 'the cherry on the top' of the week.

Great for gawkers who wanna show up and shoot. Thank you PBer CM for reminding me to show up.

I slacked off for a bit, but its such an upper to see everyone (men too) in their obsessive Chanel outfits.

Do they start planning their outfits a year in advance like department store Christmas windows? I used to think if you had the classic quilted Chanel bag (rented) you were good to go. No way.

A beetle bag, an owl, a perfume bottle is great. Unless your quilty is patinated gold forgetaboutit. Uninteresting. Notice no French scarves. The better to show off your Chanel pearls or gold chains.

Occasional spots of solid primary color livened up the endless classic checked tweed jackets. This was designer Victoria Viard's first collection on her own, though she worked side-by-side with Lagerfeld for years. It will be interesting to see what attendees wear next show. Will it be as outrageous?

Word out LOUIS VUITTON was showing at the Louvre Tuesday night at 7:30. The Louvre's a big place so where? There's a lotta stress being a gawker. More to come PBers 👍🏻 Thanks for reading Parisbreakfast. Please share with a friend. You can get Paris letters 💌 in your mailbox 📮. Take look on ETSY . XXX Carolg and 🐻 in Paris.
