Karl Lagerfeld presented the Spring/Summer 09 Chanel Couture Collection in what could be considered an atypical modest setting. The Grand Palais has hosted the label's presentations for over a decade with monumental sets erected specially for the program. However, last week we were ushered into a pavilion Cambon-Capucines in the Rue Cambon. Lagerfeld explained that he wanted to start a "new page" alluding to the crisp, paper floral creations of the mostly monochromatic collection. The overall appearance was refreshing, although it had a somewhat bridal effect. The neutral tones were a staple amongst many of the collections we saw in Paris and will likely be the trend found in the coming weeks across the globe.
