It peaked at Chanel, when designer Karl Lagerfeld built a giant, pure white coral reef as a mise-en-scène for a spring/summer show that included white shift dresses covered in mother of pearl-coloured sequins and skirts made from shell-like fans of pleated pearl-hued silk. Lagerfeld even had singer Florence Welch performing from inside a shell in a dress dripping with tassels that resembled seaweed fronds, like an indie-pop Botticelli’s “Venus”.
香奈儿(Chanel)的动作登峰造极,其旗下设计师卡尔•拉格菲尔德(Karl Lagerfeld)专门建造了一座规模宏大的纯白色珊瑚礁,作为今年春夏季服装展的举办地(mise-en-scène),展出用珍珠色圆形小金属片点缀的白色直筒连衣裙以及用扇形贝壳状珍珠色丝绸褶打造的短裙。拉格菲尔德甚至请来了歌星佛洛伦丝•韦尔奇(Florence Welch),她站在贝壳里一展歌喉,身上串串流苏点缀的连衣裙酷似海草叶,整个造型酷似波提切利(Botticelli)画作中清新可人的“维纳斯”形象。
