Lady In Red: Chanel Beauty Pop-Up

Pop goes Chanel, in their own dedicated beauty space at Five East 57th Street, a pop-up hub featuring all things in Coco Chanel’s iconic shade of red.

I scream you scream, we all scream, “We love Coco!” House of Chanel has created a beauty-dedicated mega-hub, so that all Chanel makeup-and-fragrance-lovers can experience one-of-a-kind and limited-edition moments!

Now, through December 23, it’s a place designed for everyone to have fun, smell good, and look good, not just by getting beautified but sending a signature Chanel postcard to a friend directly from the shop, complete with its own postbox.

The house is dressed all in red, the color emblematic of Gabrielle Chanel’s passion and courage. In 1924, she launched her very first lipstick in a shade of cardinal red. Now, as a tribute, Chanel presents Le Rouge, featuring N°5 Parfum in a red, Baccarat-crystal, 30.4-fluid-ounce bottle for the first time in history. And, with only 55 pieces available worldwide, each is priced at $30,000. There’s also an oversized collector’s-edition red compact case, with two layers of makeup surprises. It looks like a contemporary art piece, priced at $1,500. Hello, Santa! From lipstick-holding conveyer belts to curated beauty stations to a fragrance library, one can smell, touch, play, and explore all the facets that make up Chanel-in-red for the holidays.

And, on the weekends, they will feature in-house calligrapher who can address postcards for you in the most sophisticated script you’ve ever witnessed. Plus, avid makeup fans can book consultation sessions with renowned Chanel makeup artists Kate Lee, Fulvia Farolfi, Cyndle K., and Tyron Machausen. Wow-wee, how much do @welovecoco?
