Karl Lagerfeld is a master creator of runway sets [1], so we weren't the least bit surprised to find he debuted his Autumn 2018 collection in an enchanted forest. In fact, this might be a Fashion Week [2] trend, seeing as Coach's show took place in a similar atmosphere and Off-White can be credited for having done it first. Designer Virgil Abloh had his Autumn 2017 models walk through a trail of leaves.
But the new Chanel clothes are on theme. If you zoom in close, you'll see autumnal printed coats and Coco's signature tweed suits [3] wrapped with wool scarves and hoodies, the most modern touch. Even the knee-high boots blended in with the foliage, while the bright blue and pink gloves, worn by the likes of Kaia Gerber, stood out and popped against the new Chanel fold-over totes. Read on for the most important details, and find out who joined Keira Knightley [4] in the front row [5].
