Paris Fashion Week: Chanel

There's nothing quite like a Chanel show.  Especially when we're talking about Paris Fashion Week Chanel.

Leagues of pinks, pastels, and tweeds galore paraded down the runway for Karl Lagerfeld's event for the Chanel Spring 2014 collection, in which he described it as an art exhibition.  Art it was.  Rather than the typical show you might expect where a catwalk runs down the center with fashion hungry onlookers seated on either side, this show was as if you had taken a trip to a grandiose art gallery, with the audience seated only on one side, before them, a wall of art both humorous and strange.

Chanel Rotob No.5 giant marble bottles, a "Golden Shower" of hanging handbag chains, and Jay-Z.  Oh, and let's not forget the naked man on all fours with a car tire balanced on his back.  I mean, why wouldn't you have that after all?

The models, Cara Delevigne included, were draped head to toe in colorful palates of pink, white, and grays, mostly in tweed, with some oversized leather pants.  Often they would be carrying artist palates to further the theme.  Some wore cloaks, pearl necklaces, and frayed hemlines, all touted as easily wearable for the average fashion woman on the streets.

So take a look at some of the collection.  What do you think?
