Chanel Couture Show Fall 2017
Everything You Need to Know About the Chanel Couture Show
For this season's spectacular set, Karl Lagerfeld paid the ultimate tribute to the City of Light, transforming the Grand Palais into the Eiffel Tower for the Chanel Fall '17 Couture show. A replica tower was built right over the runway, with models making their walk under the arch. Per usual, the front row was a veritable who's who of Hollywood and style insiders like Cara Delevingne, Kristen Stewart, Julianne Moore, and Katy Perry.
As for the clothes, Karl introduced boater hats to complement every look while modest silhouettes in navy, grays, and blacks dominated the catwalk. The one exception, of course, is Lagerfeld's bridal look — this time, a voluminous, long-sleeved confection, trimmed with white floral embellishments and finished with a mile-long tulle veil floating behind her. Read on for every awe-inspiring moment from the runway.
Kristen Stewart showed up in a bedazzled bodysuit
Julianne Moore looked like the classic Chanel girl
Cara Delevingne joined the front row in cargo pants
Claudia Schiffer hit the show in a jumpsuit
Katy Perry wore a printed suit (and looked almost like Cara Delevingne's twin!)
Karl Lagerfeld transformed the Grand Palais into the Eiffel Tower
Every look was topped with a boater hat
The look was very early 20th century
Handbags and hats were finished with the fabric to match each look
Dramatic proportions made a statement
As did exposed shoulders
And feathers
Black, navy, and gray dominated the collection
Patent and tweed trimmed boots completed the looks
And, per usual, Karl's bridal looks closed the show
