3, 2, 1 Lift Off! Chanel Shoot for the Stars

Today Karl Lagerfeld brought a white rocket to his latest Chanel show. Never one to disappoint, the designer used the giant missile as a prop for his line up of models to walk around as they journeyed down the catwalk in space age styles. Metallic dresses, shiny foil shawls, white boots with the classic black toe cap, tweed suits in grey, white and black tones... this collection was subdued (compared to the Couture show in January) and very cool. There were still all the Chanel-isms present, such as the quilting, heavy costume jewellery and loose, shapeless silhouettes but this show was definitely targeting a younger client. It was also refreshing to see a number of menswear looks on the catwalk, as Lagerfeld never usually mixes mens and womenswear together. This season it seems, he has a change of heart. From the silver headbands models wore pushing their hair back in a 60s beehive style to the casual bags which were slung across the body, Chanel Fall 2017/18 was fun yet sophisticated. We expect nothing less from Chanel.
