Seems like the theme that was occupating Lagerfeld this time was something so new and different. His version of the modern Cleopatras interpretations is really something dazzling and it really has brought the new light into the aesthetic of Chanel. That innovation was definitely in the elongated silhouette that has corresponded with Ancient Egypt outfits. The "Toga" alike inspired ensembles presented in the form of the long and sleek dresses with the long midi-coat on the top is definitely the step into the new if we look at the past collections.
The elongated silhouette asks for the more chimeric and serious feeling and that feeling was there definitely. It was even more highlighted with the socks in the golden colors that corresponded with the sleek golden boots. The full Cleopatra drama was on the full swing with the famous Egyptian eyeliner on the models´ faces. The combination of the tweed texture and the golden pieces was the perfect mixture of the two traditions, the Ancient one and the Chanel one! The long dresses with the bulky and light voluminous short sleeves have alluded at the female pharaon ensemble within this line also corresponds with the female power that Madame Chanel was all about. This time it was brought into the totally new edition!
The overall feeling of the Egyptian vibes was in the air. If anyone knows how to re-interpret the theme into the Chanel theme, Karl Lagerfeld is definitely the right one. He feels and knows the pulse of the modern woman and contemporary generation. With this historical swing, he once again showed how amazing, almost in the border of the smart-costuming his design is. And that is the most stunning thing in his work and in the spirit of today´s Chanel!
