The season was Fall 2017 [1] and the theme "Chanel Ground Control." Karl Lagerfeld took show-goers to space as models stomped the runway at the Grand Palais in their new glittering space boots. The proper astronaut attire [2], you ask? Tweed suits sprinkled with sequins, thick headbands, mirrored goggles, and all the playful little rocket ship bags [3] you can imagine. Scroll to find out who sat front row for Karl's space race, which models walked, and whether lift off was successful. One thing's for sure: this was quite a way to end a very memorable Fashion Month.
