Birds of paradise braved Chanel’s rain-soaked runway on Tuesday as German designer Karl Lagerfeld gave wings to his models to reinvent the style that has made the Paris haute couture house an icon of chic.
Torrential rain delayed the presentation of Chanel’s latest fall/winter collection, set in a former royal park overlooking the Seine river, until a tarpaulin was fixed above the runway and hundreds of black Chanel umbrellas were given to the guests.
