Chanel’s Métiers d’Art Paris-Dallas 2013-14 collection is now available at a new Wild West-themed Chanel Aspen Ephemeral Boutique, which celebrated its opening last week. The boutique is housed at the exclusive mountainside restaurant and private club Casa Tua. Its second floor has been transformed into a showroom for the Wild West-inspired collection designed by Karl Lagerfeld. The collection infuses classic Chanel — loose suit jackets, flowing gowns and chic cocktail wear — with traditional Western influences such as leather boots, turquoise and Native American spiral jewelry. Celebrities such as models Atlanta de Cadenet and Harley Viera Newton attended the opening on June 26. The boutique will house the collection through July 6.
