Karl Lagerfeld is head designer and director for Chanel and his latest show stopping theme for fashion week was… airports. As unfashionable as that sounds, the fashion show set held in Paris’s Grand Palais was the most glamorous terminal in the world!
The setting included a check-in desk, a large departures board, and VIP guests including Cara Delevigne, were seated on aluminium waiting lounges ready to enjoy the fashion at the airport which was anything but drool-stained shirts and trackies!

The show was opened by model Edie Campbell wearing a tweed pastel check jumpsuit, who looked flawless and ready to effortlessly jet across the world in style.
There was a reoccurring theme in the show which included flared pants with skirt wraps (skirt over pants) being worn by models achieving the oversized layered look. Models also wore colourful and patterned jumpers thrown casually over their shoulders keeping them looking casual yet sophisticated strutting the terminal with poise and equally as elegant baggage.
Watercolours were also used throughout the show with all outfits looking fresh and artistic. Soft patterned head pieces or hats were worn by models, along with knits embedded with miniature aeroplanes, finished with either coloured tinted sun glasses or pastel coloured paint over the eyes of the model.

A lot of silver and metallics were also used in the show and Lagerfeld says in an interview that this was, “because that is the idea of aeroplanes, they are metallic … We used a lot of gold buttons and things like this”.
The show was a refreshing display of fashion and with over 90 different looks it gave fashionistas some great colourful and patterned outfit ideas to hang in there wardrobe for the season.
