THE FLASH

For the December party season, Chanel transformed the ground floor of The Standard, High Line hotel in New York into a magical alpine village, complete with twinkling evergreen trees, sleigh, ice-skating rink and ski lodge. Inspired by the No. 5 L’Eau holiday campaign, the Chanel No. 5 In The Snow pop-up was launched with a private party before it was open to the public. Guests at the event soaked up the festive atmosphere, warming up with hot chocolate and cider, and snapping photos with a supersized replica of the perfume bottle.
