Fashion merry-go-round at Chanel show in Paris

PARIS, Feb 29 (Reuters) - Karl Lagerfeld unveiled a Chanel woman for the 21st century on Friday to a front row filled with A-list stars Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Kanye West and Claudia Schiffer. In a spectacular setting in the Grand Palais, the maestro of French fashion who has already shown his own label collection this week, transformed the catwalk into a fairground with a giant carousel as the centrepiece. But in the place of fairground horses there were Chanel's signature details -- quilted handbags, camellias and pearls. Lagerfeld, who sent models down the catwalk in a sleek, modern variations of Chanel's traditional suit, said he decided to put the house's historical motifs on to the carousel so he could play more freely with the clothes.

"The basis of Chanel is still very French, we had all the symbols typical of Chanel: the camellia, the buttons, the pearls, the handbag, everything. But in the show there was almost nothing, just one small handbag, because fashion has to change," Lagerfeld told Reuters Television after the show.

Like his own name collection shown earlier this week, Lagerfeld chose a restrained, largely monochrome palette for fall 2008, but played with length and texture. Slimline long skirts -- emerging as a trend for next season after making appearances in New York and Milan -- also played a part, in Chanel's signature woven weave set off with dress coats that were short in the front but fell long in the back. The back-to-front contrast was a theme down the model's two-tone hosiery which was white at the front and black behind. Overall, it was savvily commercial. Accessories played a big part with belts on almost every skirt suit and clunky-heeled shoes so high some models had difficulty walking. At the end of the show, the carousel started to turn and Lagerfeld himself appeared, impenetrable in his dark glasses and high white collar, to lead the models out.

Lagerfeld's seamless twist on classic Chanel

To watch today's Chanel show at Paris Fashion Week was to observe a designer at the top of his game. After 25 years at the label, Karl Lagerfeld has become quite dazzling at endlessly reinventing fashion, while simultaneously reinforcing the brand. The unrivalled dominance of the quilted, chain-strap 2.55 handbag amongst the attendees at this week's catwalk shows, is testament to the far-reaching desirability of the Chanel name. The show was a gentle riff on the iconic status of Chanel's most recognisable looks: the jacket, the pearls, the pump.

Chanels bag art swings into Asia

A mobile Chanel art container at Star Ferry Car Park in Hong Kong.

Chanels mobile art container unveiled last week in Hong Kong introduces a radically new idea: a rare homage in the art world to designer handbags.

Handbags are mobile items used for carrying things so the format of the show, also quite rare, is appropriate. The exhibition is on display at the Star Ferry car park beside the harbor. The original idea came from Chanels creative chief, Karl Lagerfield. Fashion and luxury are taxes of vanity. We are now returning these taxes to the artists and architects, said Lagerfield, describing Chanels frequent collaborations with artists at last years Venice Biennale as an act of social obligation. The mobile pavilion that sits on top of the Star Ferry terminal building is a white, organic, shell-like landmark made of fiberglass. It was designed by award-winning architect Zaha Hadid to look like a UFO.

Karl Largerfields quilted bag is the inspiration for the mobile art show. Provided by the organizers The concept evolved from Hadids trademark spiral designs, a concept the Iraqi-born architect used for Metronymic Landscape, a recent project for a fashion complex in Seouls Dongdaemun earlier this year. The pavilion in Hong Kong houses installations by 20 cutting-edge international artists, including Yoko Ono, Pierre et Gilles and Korean artist Lee Bul.

Each worked on ideas inspired by Chanels quilted handbags,
the brands emblematic product for decades.

Ono has invited visitors to write their wishes on a Wishing Tree in the main hall. At the end of the show, the wishes will be sent to the Imagine Peace Tower in Iceland as part of the artists project for the multimedia art movement Fluxus. Lee Bul presented a monumental sculpture crowned with hundreds of reassembled bags and chains. Blue Noses, the Russian art collective, mocked the fashion worlds obsession for bags in sketches depicting a post-apocalyptic world of fashion in Fifty Years after Our Common Era, or Handbags Revolt.

The contemporary Japanese artist Takashi Murakami came up with a handbag motif for Louis Vuitton, and Pierre Huyghe designed a changing room for Dior. But the show resonates because it renews the spirit of fashion legend Coco Chanel, who based her design concepts on exchanges with artists like Picasso and Igor Stravinksy.

The show in Hong Kong ends on April 5 and then travels to Tokyo, New York, London, Moscow and Paris. Admission is free, but reservations are required.
