Karl Lagerfeld Saddles Up His Models for Paris
Karl Lagerfeld showed his namesake collection in Paris Wednesday, and it didn't rival the impact of his impressive show for Fendi in Milan last week. But then again, his duties for Fendi and Chanel require efforts that will elicit the biggest oohs and ahhs and ensure continued success for the long running fashion houses, so maybe it's okay that he sends out models looking like female versions of him for his own label. Hard to believe, but most of the clothes were black, or black and white, rounded out by a few silver and navy looks. And a few crisp shirts served as a further reminder of who's behind it all, if the bag with his face on it got by anyone. The dominant accessory was huge, black leather belts that kind of resembled saddles. Pleated peplums in what I'm guessing is organza and dresses in a leaf print softed things up a bit. And there were some curious black ornaments on some of the girls' arms, necks and throats. To be honest, regarding Kaiser Karl, I'm really just waiting for Chanel.
