On the catwalk, the star of the show was undoubtedly the huge-brimmed beach hats -- a nod to Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel's first ever boutique, opened in Deauville in 1912, where she sold hats and relaxed jersey outfits for stylish beach-goers. Chanel presented outfits designed for a winter walk on the beach. Photo: JULIEN DE ROSA / AFPSource: AFP"It's not gratuitously spectacular, it's graceful and always successful," she told AFP.
