Vintage- themed show The Chanel show is one of the most hotly anticipated events of Paris Couture Week and Karl Lagerfeld was sure to impress with his New Vintage-themed show. Lagerfeld, who has designed for the label since 1983, proved that he is still at the top of his game, presenting a show that referenced the company\'s fashion archive, but gave it a modern twist. The show featured shimmering silk tweed skirt suits, ensembles from the 50s and 60s, and a 30s bolero jacket parading down the catwalk, adorned with vintage sketches of Coco Chanel\'s lavish house interior. Other outfits sparkled with a contemporary metallic sheen, while some ensembles dazzled with pink tulle fringing which recreated a dropped waist effect from the 1920s.
“My own suits from 30 years ago, you can buy them like vintage now. This is the same attitude, the same spirit, the same name, same concept, but something for our time,\" the German designer told reporters after the show.
And for the finale, the bride stepped out in a fully feathered gown, a pale pink bow at the back of its sweeping skirts, and a ruff of feathers softly framing her face.
Guests included Anna Wintour, a close friend of the designer, fashionista and presenter Alexa Chung, actress Diane Kruger, as well as Sofia Coppola, Clemence Poesy and Milla Jovovich.
