Lily Allen frolics in the hay at Chanel do
Chanel turned its fashion show into a country fete on Tuesday, with singer Lily Allen bopping along to a barn-yard band and models in folk dresses frolicking in the hay. Pop stars Prince and Rihanna and German model Claudia Schiffer were among guests in the front row of the Paris show, watching models in white knit and lace dresses circle a giant haystack in a barn. The event at the glass-domed Grand Palais included Allen rising up from the stage on a haystack podium with a motley crew of dancing models and hillbilly musicians. Wearing silver ears of wheat in her hair, Allen praised the colourful mix but also evoked the other big theme at this Paris fashion week, the economic crisis, when she spoke to reporters after the show. Fashion experts say the look for this spring/summer 2010 is promising to be rustic and feminine with high-waisted dresses and slit skirts, white draped tops and transparent black skirts continuing the lingerie theme that has featured heavily at this season's shows.
