Chanel couture show subject of new documentary

The Chanel runway presentations are always a highlight of Paris fashion
weeks. The luxurious clothes, the décor, the production and top model
casting make it one of the most anticipated shows each season.

Now the subject of a new documentary, Chanel’s spring summer 2018 haute
couture show will be featured in one of the episodes in the new series “7
Days Out,” by director Andrew Rossi.

The episode will feature the exhaustive preparations behind its catwalk
spectacle, giving viewers a front row seat to the emotional roller coaster
that precedes a runway show, from the pressure facing the atelier
seamstresses, to the final fittings and construction of its elaborate set
at the Grand Palais.

The documentary also features interviews with creative director Karl
Lagerfeld, creative consultant Amanda Harlech, Washington Post fashion
critic Robin Givhan and other personalities.

As part of the series, director Andrew Rossi focused on the seven days
before six major events, including the Kentucky Derby and the reopening of
restaurant Eleven Madison Park.
