We were already blown away by Karl’s previous display at couture fashion week last month, see here. Once again we have returned to the colossal Grand Palais for another spectacular catwalk show. Our leather fetish was encouraged by the “skin tight, over the knee” leggings that most models wore during this show. You also won’t need to dig deep to re-create some Chanel like glittery eyelashes. Complete the look with their fluffy helmet hats which we hope will be cheaper than a Chanel handbag. Karl justified his globe prop that sat in the middle of his catwalk, “Chanel opened it’s first shop a 100 years ago and now there are 300 Chanel shops in the world.” He went on further to discuss how the brands expansion has seen an increase in interest from the Middle East and China. People adore Chanel all over the world, french fashion is classic, Karl says, “we still manage to make a product that people desire.” He went on further to highlight that the show was “a tribute to the world and Chanel.” The silhouette of Karl’s design’s are shorter than before with a sixties rock vibe to the outfits. Karl has played with proportion and movement more than ever. The main feel of the collection were grey and black shadowy tones, complete with steel like accessories. The music further elucidated this mysterious vibe with eerie electronic soundtracks from Philip Gorbachev : “Where Is Ronny Douglas ?”, “Last Days Of The District”, “Sweet Regina”, “I Want You So”.
