Dreaming of Paris and a Chanel Supermarket

We have a winner... Thank you to all who voted!

To begin, something amazing is in store me this coming week. I have the opportunity to travel to Paris, yes, PARIS, for one week through my university. Paris has always been a city that I have dreamed of traveling to because it is full of culture, history, art and fashion. This experience that I will embark on is sure to change my life forever and I cannot wait.

The timing couldn't be more perfect for me to bring you some insight into Paris Fashion Week which has just come to an end. The collections were all amazing but there was one in particular which required my full attention in this blog post. Chanel transformed the Grand Palais into a supermarket and it was nothing short of fabulous. Models passed through the aisles of the supermarket grabbing items off the shelves stacked with Chanel branded produce and canned goods. Some of the models even pushed shopping carts. It was a great play on pop culture and consumerism, showing that you can wear Chanel while doing everyday tasks like grocery shopping. Andy Warhol would appreciate the pop culture sentiment in Lagerfeld's show.

The hair inspiration to take away from the collection was minimalist in nature. The models hair was worn with a center-part slicked back, low pony. The look is very wearable now as we approach Spring/Summer and even into Fall/Winter. To achieve the long and sleek length of the ponytail, I recommend a hair piece to give you that added volume. In addition to the pony, Chanel added "RAGTWEEDS", strips of different fabrics that were wrapped around the pony to add that fashion element.
