Karl Lagerfeld Goes Organ-ic for Chanel Fall 2008 Couture

Tue, 07/01/08 — 11:32:22 AM

>> Seeing a Chanel couture collection is a thrill, but the clothes are always rivaled by what new, huge installation Karl Lagerfeld has plopped in the center of le Grand Palais for the models to stream out of.  In recent seasons, there's been a giant tweed jacket and a larger-than-life carousel; This time around, it was a gigantic set of organ pipes

The show started with a fugue of ominous organ music, and together with the central pipe installation and the tube-like detailing on many of the intricate dresses, reflected the inspiration which had come to Karl during a concert. 

Enjoy the big production while it lasts, folks — word is Karl is talking about reducing the Chanel shows to be more intimate experiences in the future.

I think using organic material is a great idea maybe even take it to their line of designer sunglasses granted metal and glass are almost entirely natural i think they can go a step further and use 100% organics for a limited line i'm sure they'd be popular.
