A supermarket filled with branded Chanel products, a giant lion placed under the nave of the Grand Palais, a massive glacier around which mannequins walk, or a rocket in the middle of takeoff—these are just some of the imaginative sets that have become synonymous with Chanel's fashion shows. Known for their grandeur and originality, the sets of the French fashion house are often considered among the most spectacular in the world of fashion. Every season, the question remains: "What will the show set look like this time?" As India continues to gain prominence in the global luxury market, it is now not only an inspiration for Western designers but also a source of its own unique vision of luxury, driven by skilled artisans and a new generation of Indian designers. This passion for creativity can be attributed to one individual—Karl Lagerfeld. Until his death in 2019, the sets of Chanel's shows were always shaped by his vision, which could range from a dream, an idea, or a painting. As noted in the newly released book Les Décors de Chanel: La mode mise en scène, published by Flammarion, the book explores the evolution of Chanel's show sets through seven different themes. From the early intimate gatherings in the salons of haute couture at 31 rue Cambon to the grand spectacles held under the nave of the Grand Palais, the book captures the imaginative journey of the French house's fashion shows, often inspired by nature. Starting in the 1990s, the scale of these sets became increasingly grand, thanks to the work of scenographer Stefan Lubrina and sound illustrator Michel Gaubert. The fashion shows transformed into immersive experiences, inviting audiences on a twenty-minute journey with each presentation. This approach has been continued by Virginie Viard and later by Matthieu Blazy, the current artistic director. For his first spring-summer 2026 show, Blazy transported the audience into space before leading them into a vibrant enchanted forest for the haute couture collection. This reflects Blazy's commitment to honoring the legacy of his predecessors while also highlighting the continued importance of scenography in the world of fashion. Les Décors de Chanel compiles images of the most iconic sets from the house's fashion shows over the years, showcasing their imaginative flair and ability to turn each presentation into a memorable experience. The book also features insights from key figures associated with Chanel and its show creations, including Bruno Pavlovsky, president of Chanel's fashion activities, and Émilie Hammen, a French historian and stylist who is also director of the Palais Galliera, the Paris City Museum of Fashion. This book offers a journey into the world of high fashion, tailoring, and French extravagance.
