Karl Lagerfeld has done it again, proving that he is
the big daddy of the fashion industry –the ultimate genius and master of
showmanship. For Chanel’s spring 2014 show, the designer transformed the iconic
Grand Palais into a Chanel modern art gallery with 75 installations designed
exclusively for the runway show. The models walked past the backdrop of modern
paintings and installations. There were giant Chanel No.5 bottle golden robot, leather
chain straps of the signature Chanel handbag and nude mannequin to name a few.
Monsieur Lagerfeld presented a capsule of fresh,
youthful and colourful pieces for Chanel’s Spring 2014 collection. With a slight
50’s twist for some of the pieces, the collection offered candy tweed skirt
suit, multi coloured maxis to drop waist dresses. In a colour palette of pink, silver,
powder blue, rainbow hues, neon, grey & of course black and white, the
designer’s modern reinterpretation of house’s signature tweeds to create various pieces
was indeed a vision in itself. Karl further explored the playful humour of spring
by offering paint brush stroke print pieces, neon paillettes on jackets and
even layering sweaters over the shoulder and tied around the waist, worn with a
pair of loose trousers.
Chunky bangles, chokers with giant pearls at the two
end resembling headphones, pearl cuffs and variety of bags, in addition to dramatic
eye makeup with bobs and fringes captured the artistic essence of Mr.
Lagerfeld’s collection.
