December 1, 2008 – The Chanel Cruise 2008 collection was presented in Toronto on November 27, 2008 benefiting The Hospital for Sick Children. The evening was hosted by Fashion Television’s Jeanne Becker and featured a performance by the Four Tenors. Up for auction was an exclusive black alligator skin Chanel bag that retailed around $40,000 CDN.Heritage Court at the CNE Grounds was transformed to replicate the collection’s debut in Miami at the Raleigh Hotel. The show flew in models from New York and Paris, and featured top models like Taryn Davidson, Shelby Coleman and Allegra Carpenter.
Models walked along a curvilinear runway built over a pool of water, setting the tone for this fluid collection. For the Chanel Cruise 2008 show, Karl Lagerfeld’s signature black-and-white palette took shape in wide-leg trousers, smokings and sequined blazers. The 74-look collection was a nod to '70s glamour with touches of rock-n-roll. Sparkling embroidery featured on cocktail dresses, shoes and accessories elegantly complemented the collection’s aesthetic.
