Lily-Rose Depp emerges as star of Deco-inspired Chanel show

-

Singer-model Vanessa Paradis was the image of the doting mother at Chanel's Art Deco-inspired spring-summer collection, looking on proudly as daughter Lily-Rose Depp emerged as the star of the show. Here are the highlights from the second day of Paris couture week:

Chanel's mirrored show

At Chanel, the sparkling, reflective decor recalled the mirrors of the grand staircase that lead up to the house's famed couture salons on Paris' rue Cambon. Mirrored tiles were engraved with the signature quilted motif. But it was more than just decoration. The set in the Grand Palais presentati­on also set the theme - turning the time dial chicly to the geometric Art Deco designs of the 1930s. The house characteri­zed the styles as "crazy femininity" on models with slicked-back hair and flattened "boater" hats. But Tuesday's show was more of a low-key couture affair than crazy and channeled a pareddown, pastel palette. There were sumptuous white silk A-line dresses that shimmered against the kaleidosco­pic backdrop, and fun moments of effervesce­nce in some froufrou dresses. At times, the silhouette­s seemed incongruou­s, while the designs of maestro Karl Lagerfeld, now 83 years old, seemed to lack some of the exuberance of previous seasons.

Vanessa Paradis' Family Affair

Lily-Rose Depp made her runway debut at Chanel's Metiers d'Art show at the Ritz in December, but now the 17-year-old is a seasoned fashion profession­al. Fashionist­as gasped as Vanessa Paradis' daughter with actor Johnny Depp took to the couture runway in a frothy pink tulle bridal gown to cap the heritage house's spring season. Former Chanel model and mom Paradis looked on proudly, passing the baton to the child who suddenly has seem to come of age.
