The elaborate setting for this year's Chanel Haute Couture show saw the Grand Palais in Paris transformed into a private jet - complete with numbered seats, strip lighting, emergency exits and of course, a bar.
Chanel's creative director Karl Lagerfeld has built an unrivaled reputation for hosting lavish shows. Last year, he featured an under-the-sea theme starring Florence Welch and also a dinner party that could have been thrown by Marie Antoinette at the metier d'art celebration.
