The Coveteur's View on Paris-Bombay

The Coveteur has an extensive article on the extravagant annual show. 

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>We would give a limb/organ to be able to wear this silver chain creation. It’s remarkable how one house can be on the cusp of a cult classic while still maintaining inherent roots of tradition. </span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>Jewelry, CHANEL Paris-Bombay</span>

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>Paris-Bombay was Karl’s nod to the amazing Indian embroidery houses. In fact, Karl has never been to India but channelled the motifs through Coco and was able to have a poetic view of the culture. 'It;s much more inspiring not to go to places than to go' – Karl Lagerfeld </span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>All, CHANEL Paris-Bombay </span>

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>This dress has deep cultural meaning behind it. The wheat sheaf is symbolic of prosperity, growth and wealth. Or as we like to call it- the dough, the bread, the moulah…</span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>All, CHANEL Paris-Bombay </span>

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'></span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>All, CHANEL Paris-Bombay</span>

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>“It’s all about refinements. It’s the Paris version of the idea of India” It is really amazing how Karl can take the traditions of a country different than his own, and make them relevant for the future and really fuse Parisian, Indian and CHANEL culture. – Karl Lagerfeld</span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>All, CHANEL Paris- Bombay</span>

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>Without a doubt, absolutely a coveted collection. Fashion hipsters everywhere will soon be donning bindis, chained nose rings and chainmail gloves. </span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>All, CHANEL Paris-Bombay </span>

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>Guess who Cocoteur'd this??? Just kidding, but she was there in spriti! </span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>All, CHANEL Paris-Bombay</span>

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>We love Karl’s reinterpretation of raw cut stones in addition to alluding to Coco’s rock crystal obsession. </span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>Jewelry, CHANEL Paris-Bombay</span>

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>The ultimate showstopper. In true Coco form, this get up is luxury meets wearability. A perfect first date outfit! </span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>All, CHANEL Paris-Bombay </span>

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>Karl took us on a dreamy carpet ride. The best of the journey was watching Arizona and Daphne float on their flats- what a nice change. </span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>All, CHANEL Paris-Bombay </span>

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>We discovered the throwback to the Coco days in the collection and Coveteur’d accordingly. </span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>All, CHANEL Paris-Bombay </span>

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>The lovely Wixson rocked it in this sun brazen frock. We had a viewing of this fabric prior to the show. TC and CC coming soon to a computer screen near you. Stay tuned… </span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>Dress, CHANEL Paris-Bombay</span>

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>Coco, please let us get married here in a jewel encrusted Sari gown with staircase length train. </span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>Dress, CHANEL Paris-Bombay </span>

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>An homage to Team TC’s favorite picks. Henna tattooed fingerless gloves, clutches and boots were rampant on the runway. So F*&%#ing chic. </span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>All, CHANEL Paris- Bombay</span>

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>Mirrors, coins and chains flooded the stage on the bags. We love how Karl updated the “Boy Bag” Rare Rajasthan styles. </span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>Bags, CHANEL Paris-Bombay</span>

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>'Most of the inspiration is from Indian men’s clothes rather than women’s clothes. They’re easier to wear' – Karl Lagerfeld</span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>All, CHANEL Paris-Bombay</span>
