PHOTO: Chanel: Woman Shops When She Feels Worst

After a merry go round and a gigantic jacket of previous fashion shows, Chanel`s models exited shops, defying the global economy crisis.

Forget about recession and go shopping! This is Karl Lagerfeld`s message with his collection for Chanel, as he set up a shop with the “double C” sign, under which models strolled down on the Paris Fashion Week catwalk.

The black and white classic was freshened up with pink. Chanel has presented a touched up version of its classic for the 2009 spring/summer season, shortening tweed jackets, aiming at the younger audience. However, additional glamour was provided to the suits by chains and brooches, which were placed in the cleavage and shoulders area or left to fall down along the hips.

Chanel has knitted its elegance and femininity in wool, ribbed mini skirts with a twist: puffy sleeves. A youthful, fresh look has taken Chanel`s woman in an evening gown, who carries a guitar over her shoulder with a “double C” strap, straight to a rock concert.

 Chanel`s fashion show was observed from the front row by VIP list figures: Emma Watson, Milla Jovivich, Claudia Schiffer, Zoe Kravitz and others.
