Friday, November 29th from 10am – 5pm experience a special showing of Lagerfeld: The Chanel Shows, an exhibition of works by fine art photographer Simon Procter, is opening on November 29th in the Miami Design District‘s Palm Court (140 N.E. 39th St., Suite PC102, Miami) and will remain on view through January 3, 2020. The exhibition, by Rosenbaum Contemporary, features photography from Procter’s book Lagerfeld: The Chanel Shows, which was published in September by Rizzoli. Lagerfeld: The Chanel Shows can be viewed during gallery hours, Monday through Saturday, 11am to 8pm and Sunday, noon to 6pm.

Procter enjoyed unparalleled access to Karl Lagerfeld’s legendary runway shows for Chanel. The works on view provide a glimpse of some of Lagerfeld’s most iconic fashion shows including Chanel Beach, Spring/Summer 2019, Le Grand Palais, Paris, in which models walked along a long, sandy beach lapped by real waves inside Paris’ Grand Palais, and Chanel Ultra Rocket, Fall Winter 2017, Le Grand Palais, Paris, in which a realistic rocket gave the illusion of launching, complete with sparks and smoke, from inside the same venue. The featured works also highlight Procter’s unique aesthetic, which synthesizes his fine art background in painting and sculpture with fashion photography to document the grand scale of runway shows and the architectural spaces in which they take place. More than mere documentation, however, many of the exhibited works illustrate Procter’s intense post-production methods which truly capture the spirit of the ephemeral runway shows.
