Lagerfeld opened the show with a handful of pretty tweed suits, a tribute to the current Jackie movie perhaps, which came belted at the waist. Chanel and tweed are synonymous with each other but there was something about these suits which just felt fresh and new. I loved the cute neckties and boater hats which were paired with them. But it was the stand out pieces at the end of the collection which were really beautiful. I'm not usually a fan of Chanel's version of red carpet dressing, but so many of these dresses would fit right in at the Oscars next month.They were beautiful and the craftsmanship was second to none. Sequined empire line dresses decked with feathers at the hem and on the arms, deep v-cut gowns with material tiered around the skirts, le pouf skirts with glittery Mary Janes...everything just looked so stunning paired together.
The waist was really highlighted with belts drawing in draped fabric in soft pleats while the baby pink, lime green and silver tones all worked together seamlessly. All the models, which included Arizona Muse and Bella Hadid looked simply divine with their hair carefully swept to the side and pinned back from the face, which had minimal make up too. Lagerfeld's message was simple - this show was all about the clothes. As the last looks came out onto the tiled runway, Lily Rose Depp stepped out in a giant pink, frilled gown which was slightly shorter at the front and trailed across the floor at the back. If there was one look that summed up the show, it was that one. As Lagerfeld came out to take his bow, Lily Rose by his side, the Grand Palais erupted into jubilant applause. In my opinion, this was one of Lagerfeld's best couture collection ever.
