For today’s Chanel show, Karl Lagerfeld plonked an enormous globe, complete with topographical details, in the middle of the Grand Palais.

In seasons past, Chanel has festooned the Grand Palais with wind turbines, giant geode crystals, coral reefs, and faux-garden mazes. This season, there was an enormous spinning earth, complete with light-up cities, mid-ocean ridges, and mountain ranges.
