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”.
香奈兒(Chanel)的動作登峯造極,其旗下設計師卡爾•拉格菲爾德(Karl Lagerfeld)專門建造了一座規模宏大的純白色珊瑚礁,作爲今年春夏季服裝展的舉辦地(mise-en-scène),展出用珍珠色圓形小金屬片點綴的白色直筒連衣裙以及用扇形貝殼狀珍珠色絲綢褶打造的短裙。拉格菲爾德甚至請來了歌星佛洛倫絲•韋爾奇(Florence Welch),她站在貝殼裏一展歌喉,身上串串流蘇點綴的連衣裙酷似海草葉,整個造型酷似波提切利(Botticelli)畫作中清新可人的「維納斯」形象。
