This morning in Paris, the world’s biggest superbrand - which has previously transformed the interior of the Grand Palais into an airport terminal and a Chanel-branded supermarket - chose to keep things relatively simple as guests took their seats in an intimate walled garden circling a fountain centrepiece.
As is customary, the house’s signature boucle suits were first on the catwalk. In shades of periwinkle, leaf green and buttercup, Coco Chanel’s iconic jacket was reinterpreted with a cropped fit and exaggerated shoulders. Tweed city shorts and sportier split skirts completed the ensembles, while each look on the catwalk was also crowned with a bouquet-topped veil.
And then came the gowns. Lagerfeld’s pick of the bunch for next season included rose satin styles with tulip-shaped skirts and short floral lace dresses overlaid with long embellished organza. Bodices also blossomed with sparkling floral crystals, while other skirts were pleated with the uniform precision of petals.
