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).
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.
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.
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 🚇
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.
Till then you can drop in my Etsy shop for a browse.
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.
ReplyDeleteYes, very plain vanilla. Some peep stopped her before entering the Metro and she had to identify the necklace, the belt, blah, blah 😂
DeleteSophie is adored ❤️
DeleteLove your Paris street scenes
ReplyDeleteLove your sense of humor (tres Americaine after all these years ) and the Chanel Mary Janes. I want a pair.
ReplyDeleteThe Mary Jane’s look comfortable. Quelle surprise!
DeleteLove 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! 😀
ReplyDeleteYes, I’m quick to notice the shoes first. Shoes make the dress. Not really 😉
DeleteHmmm…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!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
DeleteI so enjoy your take on the fashions and love the watercolor.
ReplyDeleteThanks Suki ❤️
