Paris
is a breathtakingly beautiful city on an average day but come Christmas
time, the city takes on a whole new life with festive street
decorations and fountains decorated with twinkling lights. Over on the
Rive Droite, Maison CHANEL glitzed up Printemps‘ Christmas windows displays giving you a taste of travel. Designed like a world tour, each of the 11 windows is
transformed into a different city from Tokyo to Los Angeles to Venise
as we enter “Rêves d’évasion”. Complete with iconic monuments created in
Chanel’s famed rue Cambon workshop, the animated puppets from
ballerinas to air hostesses dance around Lagerfeld, who himself stars in
various forms from designer to photographer. The chic Chanel designs
further cement Chanel’s place as one of France’s favourite fashion
houses.
Not to be outdone by its neighbour, the inimitable Galeries Lafayette
paid hommage to two of the city’s great loves with a ‘Rock ‘n’ Mode’
Christmas theme. Miniature puppets “kouklistars” rock the day away in
cocktail dresses though not before having their hair blow-dried and
styled in sequins by their equally tiny counterparts. Très à la mode
indeed
Enticing consumers on Paris’ Rive Gauche is the city’s first department store, Le Bon Marché,
which can be spotted blocks away by its alternating Christmas lights.
The classy Christmas window installations are somewhat more high-tech
than one would expect as contemporary artist Bertrand Planes’
installations fill the windows, telling a four-part “Les histoires
d’étoiles” narrated by well-respected French fashion film-maker Loïc
Prigent.
