Tuesday may be the penultimate stretch — with just 36 hours to go until the end of the fall 2016 season — but it holds some big-name shows.
At 10:30 the curtain will rise on what is unquestionably the most lavish spectacle of the week, the Chanel show at the Grand Palais. Packed to the brim with celebrities and the world’s wealthiest women, the vast space will have been transformed into whatever whim has taken the fancy of Karl Lagerfeld, Chanel’s creative director. Previous seasons have included a sprawling casino, a supermarket and an airport waiting lounge.
Two hours later, Vanessa Seward, a staple for chic Parisian women, shows her latest collection, before an en masse turnout for Valentino in the Jardin des Tuileries.
Iris van Herpen is up next at 4:30, before Kenzo at 7:30 and a raft of afterparties that will go late into the night. Standouts are expected to be a bash hosted by Valentino; the L’Oréal Red Obsession party (which will be heaving with models); and a party organized by the supercool New York label Opening Ceremony with Disney to celebrate a collaboration before the release of the new “Jungle Book” movie.
There will be some sleepy faces on the front rows during the final shows on Wednesday.
