Chanel From The Front Row

If you've ever wondered exactly what goes on in Karl Lagerfeld's brain, the Chanel spring/summer 2014 show might give some indication.

The fashion maestro created a special art gallery installation at the Grand Palais in Paris, propping up lifesize interlocking C's and giant No. 5 perfume bottles.

"I wanted a certain likeness between what is considered art and what is considered fashion but without the pretentious approach of it," said Lagerfeld after the show.

Here's what it all looked like from the front row:
