Chanel welcomed fashion enthusiasts in a spectacularly decorated countryside with winter motifs at La Grand Palais in Paris. Participants and models, including Cara Delevingne, Kristen Stewart, and Penelope Cruz, initially kept a minute of silence in honor of legendary designer Karl Lagerfeld, who died from life on February 19 at the age of 85.
Karl was known for his magic spells, which created an almost surreal atmosphere as in fairy tales. Again this time, the country took the look of a fable thanks to the motives of wood and snow.
The actress Penélope Cruz was also seen slipping as she held a white rose in her hand.
The event had a culminating moment since Davis Bowie's "Heroes" song was set in the background. Some models were watched while the audience exploded in the ovations for Lagerfeld's creativity, which will never be forgotten. The same music was decided on Fendi's show last week in Milan.
Fall / Winter Collection 2019 is the last one for Karl Lagerfeld, who created it in collaboration with Virgie Viard.
For years, there have been many speculations about Karl Lagerfeld's substitute in Chanel's artistic director. The names that were rumored over the years were Marc Jacobs, Alber Elbaz, Virginie Viard, Haider Ackermann and others. However, Chanel announced that Viard will take over the artistic work of the famous fashion house. She has worked with Lagerfeld almost since her career began. Chanel's work began in 1987. She went after Karl to Chloe in 1992 and returned to Chanel in 1997. Together with Vittoria Ceretti, Virginie Viard took over the Spring 2019 Haute Couture parade because of the painful health condition of her late designer.
