KARL LAGERFELD RECEIVED LA MÉDAILLE GRAND VERMEIL DE LA VILLE DE PARIS

By Juan Alcaraz

Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld presented on July 4th the Fall/ Winter 2017 collection in Paris, at the Grand Palais. After the haute couture show, the Kaiser received the city’s highest distinction. Why? For his contribution to the city of Paris and his 34 years of creative work at Chanel.

The Chanel show is about to start. This time, Paris is center stage in the Grand Palais. We see a gray tweed coat with oversized shoulders, pearl earrings, and a mademoiselle boater hat opening the show. All very “Coco”.

    It is incredible how Karl Lafergeld, a designer as opposed to Coco Chanel has managed to recreate and maintain the essence, the Parisian style and the spirit of Chanel in his designs.
    A well deserved recognition.
    Great article.
