When I first saw the Chanel Fall 2010 Collection, I found myself surprised. Mixed feelings were going through my mind: was Karl going mad? But looking at the models, the setting, and the philosophy behind the show, my conclusion is that Karl is once again avant-garde and a pure genius ! This show was a statement.
“Global warming is the issue of our times. Fashion has to address it,” Lagerfeld said. Is that why a huge iceberg was set up in a chilled Grand Palais?
I was also surprised (shocked?) to see that Karl had used fur. But thank God it was fake !
“Technical advances are so perfect you can hardly tell fake fur from the real thing. Fake is not chic — we have got a new Chanel tweed to stop copies — but fake fur is.” Oh Karl, you're so smart !
