I'll take a café, a croissant and a black and ivory silk cocktail dress, s'il vous plait.
Under the soaring glass ceiling of the Grand Palais, Chanel's Winter 2015 show was staged in an elaborate pop-up restaurant, complete with surly Parisian waiters in black waistcoats and white shirts and a bar serving champagne and coffee.
Creative Director Karl Lagerfeld showcased dresses and coats worn by models flitting in and out of the "Brasserie Gabrielle" Billy Price Womens Jersey , ordering coffee or perusing newspapers.
"It's the daily life of a certain category of people," Lagerfeld explained after the show. "This is down-to-earth daily life - in certain circumstances."
The effect was reinforced by the hard-boiled eggs, croissants and plates of olives and radishes laid out on the bar of the brasserie named after the label's late founder Coco Chanel, whose real first name was Gabrielle.
The saucy and sparkling collection celebrated both the couture house's archives and the German designer's penchant for novel, modern fabrics and textures.
Besides showcasing an array of Chanel staples -- slimly tailored knit suit jackets paired with pleated or cigarette skirts -- Lagerfeld had some fun playing with puckering.
Sleeves of jackets became armor-like as they were covered with hundreds of crinkly tucks Authentic Tyler Kroft Jersey , giving volume and modernity to the otherwise traditional shapes.
Lagerfeld said he wanted to "give a new touch to the little black dress" with a series of sheer black silk cocktail dresses lined in nude. Sleeveless and feminine, they came with modified Peter Pan collars or bows at the shoulder.
Guests lingered afterwards, hesitant to leave the festive atmosphere of the brasserie. One barman said models do indeed eat, as he had served a croissant to one of them in the show.
As for his modeling debut? "We had a great time," he laughed Authentic Jake Fisher Jersey , wiping down the copper bar one last time.

BARCELONA, Spain —Search giant Authentic Josh Malone Jersey , self-driving car developer, smartphone and tablet maker. Turned data plan provider?
Google wants more people to get online so they can search around and click on its ads. And it’s shaking up the telecom world to do it. The company said at the wireless show in Barcelona, Spain, that it will soon sell data plans for smartphones and tablets in the U.S. The announcement confirmed leaks and media reports in late January that Google planned to enter the telecom market.
More information will be released “in the coming months,” Sundar Pichai Authentic Carl Lawson Jersey , Google Inc.‘s senior vice president of products, said during his presentation.
The move into the wireless market mirrors what Google has been trying to do for hard-wired Internet access at home. The Mountain View, California, company currently sells an ultra-fast fiber-optic Internet service in a handful of markets scattered across the U.S. in an attempt to pressure long-established broadband providers to improve their prices and cut their prices.
Google conceivably do something similar for wireless by offering discounted data plans that would pressure major carriers such as AT&T Inc. and Verizon Communications to offer better deals and services or risk losing customers to a powerful rival.
“Any time there is a new entrant with the resources and imagination of Google, it most definitely could shake up the market Authentic Jordan Willis Jersey ,” said Gartner analyst Bill Menezes.
Pichai downplayed the competitive threat that Google might pose.
“We don’t intend to be a network operator at scale,” he said. “Our goal here is to drive a set of innovations which we think the ecosystem should evolve and hopefully will get traction.”
Pichai compared Google’s latest move to its decision to launch its own line of Nexus smartphones, which he said Google uses not to compete with other smartphone makers, but to introduce innovations in mobile hardware.
Finding a way to provide a “seamless” Internet connection when a device moves from Wi-Fi to cellular coverage as one example of goals Google would like to target, Pichai said. He also noted that Google is also working on “Android Pay Authentic Nick Vigil Jersey ,” a mobile payment system similar to “Apple Pay,” that will work across all Android-powered devices.
Google plans to be a “mobile virtual network operator,” which means it will lease space on an existing system. Pichai didn’t name Google’s wireless partners, but previous media reports have identified Sprint Corp. and T-Mobile US Inc. Neither of those carriers has confirmed those plans yet.
Selling Google access to their wireless networks would help Sprint and T-Mobile recoup some of their extensive investments. If Google’s entry into the wireless market is successful, the company may even try to take over Sprint or T-Mobile Authentic Joe Mixon Jersey , Menezes said. “This could end up being a ‘try it and then buy it’ strategy,” he said.
T-Mobile already has been lowering its prices and rolling out other wireless plans that have undercut the status quo. Some of those changes have prodded AT&T and Verizon to take steps that have helped their existing customers save money.
Google is constantly looking for ways to get more people online in an effort to drive more traffic to its Internet-leading search engine, Gmail and YouTube video site. All those services display the ads that generate most of Google’s revenue. Google also collects commissions on milli Keeping items i.
