With a lifeguard perched above the
Raleigh pool, and double-C logo life
preservers and beach balls scattered throughout, the Chanel cruise extravaganza
kicked off on Thursday night.
“It’s all about proportions, cuts, volumes,” Lagerfeld said pre-show. “There is
not one line that is taken all through the collection. For cruise, you don’t do
that. There are many looks and an attitude.”
Indeed, Lagerfeld's cruise woman was sophisticated with a rock chick edge, from
disco-metallic blazers to suits textured with camellias, bell bottom pants and
pleated hot pants.
