Chanel just created the swankiest airport we've ever seen

Chanel has been known to do some pretty crazy things during Paris Fashion Week. They've thrown theatrical shows with sets that emulate grocery stores, bistros, and even casinos.

For its Spring/Summer 2016 show, Chanel turned the runway into a completely customized airport.

The meticulously designed space was filled with tons of branded eccentricities, mostly focusing on "Chanel Airlines" signs and memorabilia. There was also a Departures and Arrivals board, airport seats, and gate signs.

Karl Lagerfeld, the company's head designer and creative director, had some personal reasons to make the idea come to fruition.

"I don't star in movies, I am not a famous singer. I have no scandal and yet I cannot go out in public because they all want to take my picture, so it's almost impossible for me to travel through airports," Lagerfeld told Dazed Magazine co-founder Jefferson Hack.
