From table runners to the runway! It seems an unlikely leap, but that’s exactly what happened when Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld set his eyes on the stencil-like Cubic lace design manufactured by Chilewich for their tabletop collection. Lagerfeld chose the lace design for Chanel’s Spring/Summer 2011 ready-to-wear show at Paris Fashion Week last month. The runner was reproduced by Chanel into a sheer cocktail dress, accented by a beautiful feather trim. It was one of the last numbers to grace the Chanel runway. Chilewich already boasts a line of fashionable, sturdy totes… perhaps now they will branch out to include fashion into their repertoire as well!
