Best Party Ever: Chanel in Las Vegas

Chanel's invite-only, eight day event for the Numéros Privés installation began on Friday, January 20 in Las Vegas. Guests who included Alexa Chung, Gia Coppola, Diane Kruger, and Rachel Zoe were picked up in Escalades and flown in private jets from New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Clearly, our invitation was lost in the mail. (Just kidding!) But the private planes were only the beginning of last weekend's luxuries.

The actual installation, Numéros Privés, is a ten-room exhibit at the Wynn hotel in Vegas, dedicated to the house codes of Chanel. "House codes" are the timeless designs that become a designer trademark. For Chanel, codes include camellia flowers (Coco's favorite), black and white, and quilted padding. One room  at Numéros Privés was filled with carnival-inspired mechanical claws; instead of scooping up stuffed animals, guests tried to win Chanel accessories. Another room displayed a replica of Coco Chanel's apartment in Paris. A Chinese New Year-themed dinner followed the tour, complete with dim sum and champagne. Unfortunately, Karl Lagerfeld couldn't make it to the dance floor. He spent the weekend prepping for his show in Paris, which took place today.
