Lagerfeld Show Endures Despite Rain

On Tuesday July 3rd, Chanel presented their fall/winter collection, in a former royal park that borders the Seine river in Paris. Rain almost put a halt to the show before tarps were brought in and the crowd was given umbrellas. Karl Lagerfeld has been recently shown with the wilting pop start Lindsay Lohan. She has been known to admire his work with the fashion house and are rumoured to have some of the same addictive interests.

When asked about the mystery that surrounds couture and its inaccessiblity, Lagerfeld replied "Haute couture is a distinct culture and this is the reason why there are so few couture houses around". Source

The looks were somewhat dry despite the rain, except I particularly liked the above creation, specifically the fitted but slouchy pant.

The highlight of the collection was certainly the dresses, with a 1920's feel mixed with shine and feathers.

The above dress particularly stood out. The gorgeous cross-hatch pattern mixed with whimsical feathers made it work with the mild grey fabric.
