The season was Fall 2017 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, you ask? Tweed suits sprinkled with sequins, thick headbands, mirrored goggles, and all the playful little rocket ship bags 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.
