Karl Lagerfeld’s ode to Russia made it’s runway debut in Chanel’s pre-fall 2009 collection. “There are three things I like about Russia,” said Lagerfeld, “I love Imperial Russia, from Catherine the Great to Fabergé. I love constructivism, of course. And I love Russian folklore, which is very special. What was fun was to mix it all.”
And quite a mix it was, from opulent furs to babushka styled shoulders the collection was a feast of never understated looks and classic luxury.
The next stop on Karl’s world tour seems to be China. The designer alluded to drawing inspirations from the country for his next trip down the runway.
All I know is that one writer at fashion indie is probably palpitating right now knowing that her motherland just got the Chanel treatment.
