A wintery alpine village created within the Grand Palais was the set for the Chanel fall-winter 2019 collection. By Robin Givhan Robin Givhan Fashion critic Email Bio Follow Fashion critic March 5 at 10:34 AM PARIS — There were no grand gestures at Karl Lagerfeld’s final Chanel ready-to-wear show — the last one that he worked on before his death last month.
Oversized tweed jackets were paired with roomy trousers, knit dresses had the kick and charm of an old-fashioned ice skating costume and white “snowball” dresses were constructed with a fitted bodice and a fluffy poof of a skirt. The models kicked up the faux snow with their furry winter boots, and shearling-trimmed Chanel fanny bags hugged their waist. There were fewer looks than is usual for a Chanel show — or at least it seemed that way.
The street outside the Grand Palais was thick with rabid Chanel fans and Karl enthusiasts, tourists who were thrilled to have stumbled onto a moment of fashion history, photographers hoping to catch a shot of the celebrities in attendance, like Penélope Cruz, who walked in the show. And, of course, there were young people who sensed a happening and stood with cameras aloft and ready to document it. This is the Chanel that Lagerfeld built.
Than goodness this creep is dead! Now he won’t be able to skin sentient beings anymore. Good riddance.
Did they hurl insults to +sized models in his name?
And good riddance.
