CHANEL F/W 2014 Haute Couture
July 8, 2014 - Grand Palais CL never failed to amazed the crowd with her one-of-a-kind fashion. Arriving at the Grand Palais, Paris, the venue for Chanel Fall Winter 2014/2015 Haute Couture Show, CL dressed like a fashionable rock princess. CL definitely rocked her entrance with her modified black rocker tees, a pair of Big Boss Boots from Chrome Hearts x Wesco (USD$ 7600+), perfected with series of silver necklaces from none other than Chanel, a leather bag from Chanel’s Fall 2014 Ready-To-Wear Collection and a white fringed top from Chanel’s Pre-Fall 2014 Collection. Looking flawless as always, CL smiles a lot, sending her bright and charismatic aura through flying kisses to the crowd, and posing gorgeously for the cameras before entering the venue.
Sitting at the front row of the show along with Kristen Stewart, Jared Leto,and also just 2 seats away from the magnificent Anna Wintour, CL is a real life (and a gorgeous kind too) proof of Asia’s influence in the industry. Being a well-known fan of Chanel products since forever, CL seems to enjoy the show alot. From the entrance to the very last moment of the show, anyone could see that sparks in her eyes that pretty much shows how much excitement she had. What was more exciting for the fans was the moment when CL, and the genius Head of Creative Director of Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld, has photos together flooding on the Internet.
“ I felt I was in a completely different world. The show was nothing like I’ve seen before. I didn’t want to wear the clothes because they were not clothes. They were a piece of art. “ - Lee Chaerin, CL
Before, fellow labelmates G-Dragon and Taeyang of Bigbang attended Chanel’s Fashion Show and definitely did not miss meeting up with Karl Lagerfeld and snapping some shots with him. There’s no doubt that this time, GZBz waited for that precious moment. Nonetheless, GZBz were not disappointed. At the end of the show, the guests and press got a chance to meet Karl Lagerfeld in person on the runway. Including our CL. On her moment, like a true Parisian, CL did not hesitate to say hello the French way to Karl Lagerfeld by giving him a warm kiss on his cheeks, shocking the show organizers & photographers as most of the guests who met Lagerfeld before, always felt awkward due to his charismatic presence. This shocking yet heartwarming act of CL successfully made the genius designer smile and break the awkwardness between them as well as the crowd.
MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA A/W 2014 Haute Couture
July 9, 2014 - Espace Yves Toudic After her sighting at the Chanel Haute Couture show previous day, GZBz were expecting CL to attend another fashion show in Paris Fashion Week. Assuming this show or that, CL was still no where in sight, until a picture of her at the Maison Martin Margiela FW14 Haute Couture Show was posted on the net. Arriving at Espace Yves Toudic where the show is being held, CL showed us a totally different look from her rocker princess vibe, previously at the Chanel Show.
“ I was looking for garments that allowed me to move freely, but for this, i would be happy to adjust. � - Lee Chaerin, CL
As expected from fashionista CL, she attended the show, accompanied by the well known YGE stylist Jieun, in a very simple yet charming set of wardrobe. Obviously not forgetting her favorite kind of accessories, Gold Rhodium Three-Stack Rings by Maison Martin Margiela. Finishing off the whole outfit, she was dressed with a gold smartphone holder pouch by Chanel and wore a pair of elegant two-tone pumps by, whom we suspect, Fendi. Everything, from her hairstyle, the au natural make up that emphasized her mesmerizing feline eyes, to her set of jewelleries was all on point. The moment she reached Espace, a very strong but sweet charm was oozing all over her, as she gave her bright eye smiles and warmly greeting her fans who were expecting her there. As expected for a Global Fashionista, a seat at the front row of the show was already reserved for her, along with well-known world icons such as Anna Dello Russo, Nicole Phelps and Mia Moretti. CL left the venue right after the show but never forget to greet her fans back and even took a selfie with one or two while walking back to the car, leaving all GZB presented in an awe. Such an amazing lady.
JEAN PAUL GAULTIER Haute Couture 2014/2015
July 9, 2014 - 325. Rue Saint Martin
Sexy, Classy, Mesmerizing. Words to perfectly describe our fashionable leader, Lee Chaelin when she attended the Jean Paul Gaultier Fall/Winter 2014 Haute Couture Show. Previously at Maison Margiela’s show, she gave all that sweet girl next door with her charming smiles and killing it with her looks. But it’s definitely a totally different story for Jean Paul Gaultier. In a short frame of lesser than 2 hours, CL arrived at 325. Rue Saint Martin, where the show is being held, like a glamourous yet mysterious lady from one of the James Bond Movie. What’s more glamourous when you’re wearing gold from head to toe? CL of course.
Madamme CL made an entrace with a a very classy gold coat with a sexy front-slit from Jean Paul Gaultier’s Collection, while strutting charismatically on a pair of Gianvito Rossi’s Calabria Pumps. Like a Billion Dollar Girl she is, she’s highlighting her overall looks with a set of Vita Fede crystal bracelet for 475 USD and, the highlight of the day, a set of 3 Chrome Hearts’ 22k Gold & Diamond rings that totals up to 67,588 USD! What’s more jaw dropping is that, those were the rings that she used for her left hand only! CL never fails to amaze us with her unlimited international connection. This time, it’s also not an exception. After taking a very memorable photo together with Karl Lagerfeld after Chanel FW14 Haute Couture Show in previous day, CL went backstage of the show to personally meet her ‘fashion hero’, Jean Paul Gaultier. Press took pictures of their moment, shown how both the respected designer & CL enjoying their little chat together, probably talking about, what do you expect? Their love for fashion. “I saw Jean Paul Gaultier in the backstage and he was exactly what I had imagined. To me, he wasn’t a man in his mid 60s, but rather, an energetic young man with full of curiosity and creativity.” - Lee Chaerin, CL
