Chanel Fall-Winter 2025/26

 A huge downpour ☔️ started as I was about

To leave for the Fall/2025/Chanel show at Grand Palais.

Not my picture
I got there late & at the wrong entrance (not this one). *Girls were  Chanel handbags-free (their bodyguards carry them).

At last the attendees came out carrying their little gift bags + a stalk of wheat. 

The bride carried a wheat stalk bouquet. 

This guy added the wheat stalk in his pocket/poche as an accessory. 
Another wheat-stalk carrier wearing Chanel Mary Janes, who clearly works out those arms to carry that bag.
A sheer floaty, sun-yellow 🌞 long dress. 
Another sheer, diaphanous look en noire.
Maybe too sheer
Everyone was yelling,”VALERIE!” A model…
You start wondering how much actual CHANEL you have to wear to attend. This guy had a Chanel backpack.
This guy…rented the chain & purse maybe? 
Pretty sure this is not Chanel but definitely attractive. 
Head to toe Chanel girls.
The only recognizable person of renown I spotted was Sophie Fontanel, not wearing any Chanel except maybe the wire bag? 
I was pleased to see, like the rest of us, Sophie takes the Metro 🚇 
Meanwhile inside 
The newly-renovated Grand Palais.
You can watch the show here and form your own opinions. It’s still a team effort until October, when the new designer comes onboard. 
I went up to the Paul Poiret show at musee des Arts Décoratifs for a better show (coming tomorrow).
❤️ Why not? 💋

    Loved you photographed Sophie. People are so hung up on what to wear to Paris. She's in a black top, white skirt and flats but with accessories (belt, necklace and the chain Chanel bag). Simple, classic.

      Yes, very plain vanilla. Some peep stopped her before entering the Metro and she had to identify the necklace, the belt, blah, blah 😂

    Love your sense of humor (tres Americaine after all these years ) and the Chanel Mary Janes. I want a pair.

    Love your sketch/water color illustrations of shoes. They are so perfect in scale and detail. But then, you formerly were a shoe designer! Ha! The secret is out! 😀

      Yes, I’m quick to notice the shoes first. Shoes make the dress. Not really 😉

    Hmmm…it must be so inconvenient only owning one Chanel outfit! Having to wear a night time party dress to an event on a lovely summer’s day! Ha!

    I vote for the fellow in the shorts and wheat straw in his pocket as best dressed. He even has a Chanel camellia pinned to his shorts!

    So fun, Carol. I envy your ability to go to all of these fashion week events!

      Ha I missed the pinned camellia. Sharp eyes 👁️ Yes..terribly chic. He was posing like mad. They all do. Everyone wants their picture taken except for a very few.
