Paper Flowers for Chanel



Check out this incredible paper-installation for Chanel‘s 2009 Spring/Summer Haute Couture show. AMAZING or what?



According to the Chanel website, the installation was made up of 7000 handmade paper flowers, using 4000 square metres of paper, and took a total of 4800 hours of work to assemble. I guess Chanel has a pretty good budget for these things! ;)

The models also wore stunning paper-flower headpieces…


Via Beautiful Paper blog. Thanks to my dear friend, props-maker extraordinaire Annette Ringrose for the tip-off!

ps) How weird is Karl Lagerfeld? Super talented, super weird.

    Thanks for sharing. The flowers are beautiful. However, I'm interested in how Chanel plans to re-use them. Big budgets are great, but Big Impact is better. Would love to see how these beauties impact someone who wasn't at the show…

    I can't believe that I have only just discovered your fantastic blog. My first look today. I am a big fan of paper flowers and made hundreds of them myself for my mexican inspired wedding. These ones at Chanel really take it to another level.
