On a hot September night, fashion fanatics from around the world gathered in New York City to kick off the always-anticipated fashion week. But one luxury label decided to set the tone above the rest with a one-of-a-kind experiential event; And, of course, we’re talking about CHANEL.
New York City’s hip neighborhood of Williamsburg became the epicenter of elegance as CHANEL hosted an elevated NYFW event to debut the LUCKY CHANCE DINER. The famed Williamsburg diner, reimagined by CHANEL, left attendees spellbound as they were transported back in time to a retro haven, adorned with a distinct touch of CHANEL glamour. This transformation was in honor of the launch of CHANCE EAU FRAÎCHE Eau de Parfum, a scent that embodies freshness and sophistication.

Attendees had the opportunity to try their luck and take home a piece of CHANEL’s magic. The games and activities kept everyone engaged, creating an immersive experience like no other.
