Lagerfeld had erected a huge iceberg in the middle of the glass-domed Grand Palais to mark his chilly theme for Chanel fall winter 2010 2011 collection, dressing models in fake fur trousers and yeti boots to prepare them for the coming ice age. Chanel’s classic tweed suit was reinforced with fur-trimmed sleeves and hems. The tweed itself was lightened up as Lagerfeld used wool-embroidered organza instead of classic heavy tweed.
“There wasn’t any real fur, it’s all fake. The word ’synthetic’ is horrible, fake fur used to be hideous but there’s been enormous progress,” he said.
Within the context of a season of innovative knitwear, Chanel’s was some of the most outstanding. A group of three short angora sweater dresses, tinted iceberg blue in the center, was an amazing follow-up from something Lagerfeld did with dégradé pastel embroidery in couture.
