Karl Lagerfeld Unleashes Irresistible Sirens on a Magical Set at Chanel’s Spring 2012 Show
We spoke with Karl Lagerfeld about his latest collection and his inspiration for Chanel’s Spring/Summer 2012 breathtaking underwater fantasy themed runway show. many of the dresses in the collection were made out of uncommon materials like fiberglass, nylon, polyester and iridescent synthetics, some came with geometric motifs inspired by the “fabric paintings” of German artist, Blinky Palermo.
The usual chains, logos, and braids were no where to be seen. Chanel’s tweeds and pearls were the only remnants of the Chanel brand. Pearls were used in new and innovative ways as stud piercings, belts and decorative jewelry that adorned each model’s low, slicked backed hair buns.
