Chanel has made a habit of transforming the Grand Palais in Paris into an immersive set: There was the <\/span>Chanel airport; the Chanel grocery store; the <\/span>Chanel data storage center.<\/p>\n

But the mise en sc\u00e8ne at Tuesday\u2019s Chanel Spring 2017 Couture show did something different. The show was cast in a space fully mirrored, not only along the walls but across the floor, leading one\u2019s eyes to gaze at every possible angle of the show\u2019s 64 looks, many of which reflected light back themselves. There were no <\/span>Twister boards or <\/span>male models-turned-servers to distract, only the ensembles.<\/p>\n

During the show, Karl Lagerfeld delivered all those things that might seem at odds in fashion: primness and provocation, rigidity and fluidity. In suiting, Lagerfeld served pussy bows, tweed, and bold color in strong shapes that borrow from \u201920s sculptural cubism. And each dress in the collection was a masterpiece balancing hard and soft lines.<\/p>\n

All eyes were on Lagerfeld\u2019s muse of the moment, Lily-Rose Depp, who played the enviable role of Couture Bride.<\/p>\n

At first look, it\u2019s easy to miss the precious details that distinguish Chanel Couture. The audience had the benefit of that enchanting mirrored room, casting a light on all that one might otherwise not see. For those of us who didn\u2019t, here are four things we spotted on the runway that you might have missed.<\/p>\n

Ankle bracelets
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the Chanel Spring 2008 <\/span>ready-to-wear show, models wore bulky ankle bracelets \u2014 if you could call them that \u2014 on one leg. The accessories were less bracelet, more micro-purses tethered to models\u2019 ankles.<\/p>\n

\"5383ab51f754af9fe1cc1b721ed877ff\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It took a decade for Lagerfeld to bring the ankle bracelet back to Chanel. On Tuesday, each model (who wasn\u2019t wearing boots) wore a pearl ankle bracelet on her left leg above a pair of silver pumps. Models wore no other jewelry during the show.<\/p>\n

Wide belts
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Also found on almost every one of the five dozen looks were wide belts with rectangular buckles. <\/span>Les ceintures<\/em> <\/span>came in a variety of colors: silver metallic, pink, white, black, pewter, navy blue, champagne, gold.<\/p>\n

\"c16811a057fa2f5a1cb1d2d67112ced6\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Though the belts at Tuesday\u2019s show are similar to the <\/span>Chanel Cruise 2016\/17 belts <\/span>we saw last year, there\u2019s one noteworthy difference: This year\u2019s version is missing the \u201cCHANEL\u201d name etched along the belt frame, bucking the logo belt trend that was huge in 2016.<\/p>\n

The belts were cinched above the waist near the rib cage, leading us to our next #detail\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2018Spoon Woman\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

No, not \u201cspoon\u201d as in soup, \u201cSpoon\u201d as in the <\/span>1920s sculpture <\/span>by Swiss artist Alberto Giacometti that Lagerfeld <\/span>cites <\/span>as a primary source of inspiration for this collection.<\/p>\n

\"d37e9f56f569f157710b0d0cad9cac1f\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Art Institute of Chicago says of the piece, \u201cThe figure\u2019s blocky head, chest, and feet reflect the geometry of Cubism.\u201d Of course, Lagerfeld isn\u2019t making the clothes \u201cblocky\u201d so much as he\u2019s drawing attention to those areas: the belts situated on high lure you into the chest; the ankle bracelets bring your eye down to the models\u2019 feet. And of the shape, Lagerfeld says it\u2019s all meant to <\/span>elongate the leg.<\/p>\n

Texture<\/strong><\/p>\n

The collection was dynamic not only in shapes but also in textures. Lagerfeld proves that there can be dozens of permutations perfectly marrying silk, beading, feathers, tulle, lace \u2014 without sacrificing the collection\u2019s cohesiveness. Bold beading cuts into feathered drop waists and tea-length hems; silk softens statement sequins.<\/p>\n

\"a66dd2b865bad196213536b226f50013\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Chanel Couture child-bride Lily-Rose Depp was enveloped by a billowing pink tulle skirt like a genetically modified pink carnation (similar to a yellow Giambattista Valli gown <\/span>from this season).<\/p>\n

Thanks to Lagerfeld, we\u2019ll reflect shamelessly on this collection, details and all.<\/p>\n\n
