Information about the artwork: Chanel transformed the Grand Palais into an ocean liner for its Cruise 2019 show. Karl Lagerfeld took guests on a trip to the beach, creating an entire beach nearly as good as the real thing.Guests were seated on the sand, on top of wood pallets, to see the models saunter across the sand in time with the real waves under the watchful gaze of Chanel’s lifeguards. A set that mimicked reality, you could almost forget Paris’ grey skies under the blue sky with your feet in the sand.
