It has become an event: once a year, Chanel puts on a show presenting the work of haute couture artisans who have been brought back by the celebrated house of the two C’s (the boot maker Masaro, the feather maker Lemarié, the embroiderer François Lesage, the hat maker Michel…) And it is not by accident that Karl Lagerfeld chose a gallery in London to present a new collection with such precious detail. While the music by Julian Lennon and the top model Irina Lazareanu resounded around the room, the models walked with backcombed hair and eyes emphasized with eye-liner. The couturier doesn’t hide the fact he is inspired by Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty, two famous singers from the other side of the Channel.
