Fashion shows are a display of art through clothing with Chanel transforming a fashion show into an art show.
It’s hard to say which one we’re the best but here are the top shows and concepts created by the Chanel fashion house.

#1: Fall 2017 – Chanel Space Station
With a futuristic feel for the style of the collection the runway was designed to look like a launch pad for a rocket. The style featured we’re sleek and white to feel futuristic.
My personal favorite is Fall/Winter 2008 in which a two story Chanel carousel was constructed with spinning function to allow models to get on and off the ride, while displaying their style. Which one is your favorite?
