Martin’s favorite looks were those that had an upbeat, youthful feel. “My favorite looks from the show were the dropped waist short tweed looks, and the white floor length dresses,” says Martin. “I particularly loved look 40, 23, and 18.” Martin is a big fashion fan and follower, so it was only a matter of time before she got to witness a real life show from one of her favorite labels. “I really enjoy keeping up with fashion,” Martin says. Ahead of the show, she paid a special visit to le19M, Chanel’s new architectural space dedicated to showcasing its Métiers d’Art fashions and artisans.
