OPENING NIGHT PREVIEW BENEFITING
PARISDALLAS
DEEP IN THE HEART OF
CHAPEAUX DE COWBOY!
Indiens d'Amérique! Plumes! Arc et flèches! Rouge à lèvres balles! Vive les Métiers d'Art, Paris-
Dallas! Seven months after the Chanel-clad rodeo infiltrated Dallas' Fair Park, the collection has
finally arrived. We've been counting the days, hours and minutes until we could get our hands on
the pre-fall Wild West-inspired confections unveiled that historic night. Flashback: Karl Lagerfeld
corralled 900 of the fashion industry's elite and deposited them in a 1950s-inspired drive-in movie
theater with 74 pristine vintage convertibles, followed by a rodeo backdrop of 95 looks that
walked the straw-covered runway. In this collection, Lagerfeld shows us how the West was won
à la Française with a boxier take on the classic Chanel suit, prairie blouses, chunky knits, head-
dresses, lipstick ammo, Native American prints, stars, stripes, pearls, bolos, barrel clutches
and boots. Just a few of our favorite things. Prices upon request, at the Chanel
boutique. Megan Pruitt Winder
