When it comes to CHANEL, I still love the era of Karl Lagerfeld more!

Many people say that Virginie Viard’s designs are very thoughtful and like them, but more people still miss the designs when Karl was in charge of CHANEL. Yes, everything from the show to the works is beautiful.

When it comes to Karl, the first word that comes to mind is two words: dedication. He is a designer, artist and legend who truly loves the fashion industry.

Not only the design of clothing, handbags, accessories, etc., including photoshoots and show layouts, every small detail must be involved. What is presented to us is a "Narnia"-like It’s a beautiful country, but the hard work behind it is unimaginable.

Since joining CHANEL in 1983, Karl has never missed any big show while he was alive. Except for the 19SS show, the beautiful things he created should leave traces in our minds.

Today I would like to review 20 CHANEL classic shows directed by Karl in the past 15 years. Whether they are show layouts or ready-to-wear accessories, they are a visual art feast. I once again lament Karl. What a wink.

01

CHANEL 2006 Early Spring Haute Couture Series

The biggest highlight of CHANEL’s 2006 Early Spring Haute Couture series is the layout of the show, which is a spiral staircase , the models walked down the stairs to the center of the show.

This layout is very bold and daring to try. Karl won the fashion industry’s recognition for this show with a perfect ending, which also paved the way for CHANEL’s unconstrained show design in the future: Dear , this is just a small beginning.

High-end ready-to-wear with black and white accents is still very avant-garde from today’s perspective. Sarah Mower wrote in a show review in 2006: Every piece of ready-to-wear is filled with a modern and fashionable atmosphere, and the white lace is like It's like frosting, and it's really beautiful.

02

CHANEL 2008 FW fashion series

Karl kept his word and moved the carousel to the Grand Palais in Paris for the 2008 autumn and winter fashion series. , the show immediately turned into an amusement park.

If you look carefully, you will find that the carousel is full of classic elements of CHANEL: camellias, pearls, double C buttons, and the classic 2.55.

The look of that year is still very stylish now, whether it is tops or bottoms.

Men’s clothing is also very interesting. Nowadays, the manly style of clothing is very popular. I believe that men’s clothing and women’s clothing will also have good effects.

03

CHANEL 2009 FW Haute Couture Series

In CHANEL’s 2009 autumn and winter haute couture show, the most eye-catching one was CHANEL No. 5’s giant white bottle not only held a fashion show, but also promoted its own classic perfume, a win-win design.

In fashion, there are many small and thoughtful designs hidden in simplicity. This is the purest high-end.

All the black series are really beautiful, and among them there is a "smoking suit" with ruffle lace that is the most exciting. Each piece shows CHANEL's advanced craftsmanship.

04

CHANEL 2010-11 FW Haute Couture Series

For the 2010-11 autumn and winter haute couture series show, Karl put a lot of thought into it. Inspired by the Leo Coco Chanel, an 18-meter-long giant golden lion was created to pay tribute to Ms. Coco. There are also classic pearl elements at the feet of the lion.

High-end ready-to-wear garments put a lot of effort into the fabrics. The most eye-catching thing is the decorative lace, which uses elements that are different from ready-made garments, such as the fur decorative lace on the tweed jacket and so on.

There is also the proportion design of the clothing, which highlights the waist, and the bottoms are also knee-length hip-covering skirts, which challenges the models' figures.

05

CHANEL 2010 SS fashion series

The layout of the 2010 spring and summer fashion show is also impressive, because it is a combination of fashion and nature. Perfectly blended, the theme is a huge barn.

The models had straw hanging on their bodies and hair, their hairstyles were fluffy and casual, their steps were staggering, and they all looked naughty. This is a very relaxing show. Art probably really comes from life.

Karl summarized the fashion trends at that time. The colors were beige, ivory and black, and the materials were mostly rough textures and transparent lace.

The handbags of this season also fit the theme of the show very well. Most of the colors are beige, and there are also straw woven series of handbags.

06

CHANEL 2011 FW

Do you still remember this smoky forest? Yes, this is the 2011 CHANEL autumn and winter series show. The theme is: the end of the world. It feels cool to hear these words.

The models also walked out with a grand momentum as if the doomsday was coming. The tail of the catwalk was a huge white light, which represented that the darkness was only short-lived and we would eventually escape the doomsday.

Karl vividly presents some natural disaster elements on the clothes, making them look tattered and very design-like.

Combining dark-colored clothing with doomsday-themed scenes, Karl also skillfully combines street and high-end fashion.

07

CHANEL 2012 SS High-end Ready-to-Wear Series

CHANEL’s 2012 Spring and Summer High-end Ready-to-Wear Series show adopts an aesthetic style and uses many original ecological elements. elements, the show was arranged into a sea of ​​white.

Shells, corals, and seahorses vividly express the elements of the underwater world.

With scalloped tweed and mille-feuille pleats, Karl perfectly hinted at the underwater theme in CHANEL’s traditional lexicon.

Tim Blanks once wrote in a show review: What is worth watching is that this series CHANEL brings us pearls with rainbow luster. Karl chose to string pearls around the waist instead of a belt, which fits the look perfectly. Behind the themes lies his great creativity.

What shocked me again was that the rocket really rose. This was definitely the climax of the 2017 autumn and winter show. The guests watching the show seemed to have gone to explore the universe together.

A show with a sense of technology and the future is very impressive.

CHANEL 2018 Early Spring Series

CHANEL’s 2018 Early Spring Series show is still fresh in my memory. The theme was Greek mythology, and the scene was full of statues and Wine and food.

The entire show was once again surrounded by a mysterious force. Karl said: If you want to create the future, you must first go back to the past.
