Karl Lagerfeld knows how to put on a show. Season after season he creates dreamlike settings to preview his upcoming Chanel collection. For spring he drew inspiration from sixties film Last Year at Marienbad, in which there are descriptions of beautifully monochrome, ornamental gardens, a scene made for Chanel.
The vast black umbrellas that accompanied some looks almost looked like giant hats, enhancing the magical mood of the show, but the real spectacle was the 80 strong orchestra that serenaded the audience in true Fantasia style, whilst the Chanel dolls paraded around the black and white stage.
