Neiman Marcus presented Chanel Spring/Summer 2012 fashions to the happy few. VIP guests enjoyed a sophisticated and elegant afternoon at Phoenix Art Museum to benefit the Fashion Design Collection. Following the Champagne reception guests viewed Chanel on the runway. The ready-to-wear fashions, previewed at the Grand Palais in Paris, were shown in a sea of white. Styles were pretty in white and pale pastels, ruffles, pleats, iridescent shimmer, pearls and leather. Karl Lagerfeld’s designs are beautiful, the little dresses are especially divine. Guests gathered on the lawn to enjoy lunch on white linen under little white canopies. Tim Braun, Neiman Marcus Vice President and General Manager, presented a Chanel dress to the Fashion Design Collection. The lovely gathering evoked the style and graciousness of Neiman Marcus, understated and fabulous.
