Chanel
Designer: Karl Lagerfeld

• “Like a stylish hint to the renewable energy powering the classic house..” {AFP}
• “Light and fun, even if it did blow in a lot of different directions.” {All The Rage/Los Angeles Times}
• “A bright, fun and diverse collection brimming with great new ideas.” {The Associated Press}
• “When there’s no smoke, there’s fire. Karl Lagerfeld’s cheeky-chic Spring collection paraded down a path lined by wind turbines, as if to extinguish any notion of Le Smoking  … and infuse the world-weary front row with a breath of fresh air.” {Daily Front Row}
• “Was Karl Lagerfeld poised to join Livia Firth and Katharine Hamnett as a tub-thumper for sustainable fashion? Oh no.” {The Daily Telegraph}
• “An airy collection with a futuristic vibe–but don’t think spaceships; think of a nicer, greener world where we’ve figured out solar energy and have clean air.” {FabSugar}
• “A breezy, elegant take on fashion kept even cooler by the remarkable stage set.” {Fashion Wire Daily}
• “If the clothes … spoke of innocence, the marketing of the money-spinning accessories confirmed experience.” {The Independent}
• “A lighthearted affair, full of visual humour.” {The Guardian}
• “Any emotion, fashion drive or energy was just gone with the wind.” {International Herald Tribune}
• “Chanel can be accused of obtuseness and political incorrectness; it once trucked in an iceberg. In the end, the turbines didn’t really add anything to the show, except an absurd sense of delight each time you looked up at the white blades.” {The New York Times}
• “Lagerfeld’s Chanel, once again, left us surprised and at the edge of our (desk) seats.” {Refinery29}
• “Those turbines might also have been a metaphor for the designer’s own astonishing reserves of energy, expended this season on a dizzying deluge of ideas poured into the 80 looks that careened down that epic runway and ran the gamut from baby-doll frocks in linen chambray, denim, or gingham tweed, to sophisticated long evening dresses in monastic black and white.” {Vogue.com}
• “This was the chicest take on ecology you’ve ever seen.” {Vogue.com UK}
• “Lagerfeld’s enthusiasm for such range, and his ability to realize it so masterfully, is part of what makes his Chanel the phenomenon it is.” {WWD}
