Runway Report--Paris Fashion Week--Chanel by Karl Lagerfeld Fall/Winter 2012/2013--Photos + Full Runway Video


Cold, Crystal, Pant-suited Chanel Fortress...


Paris Ready to Wear (Pret-a-Porter) Fashion Week ended last week and the Chanel fashion show was one of the highlights--as usual. Designer Karl Lagerfeld created a cold, winter crystallized "fortress" of sorts for all the show's guests. In terms of the Chanel Fall/Winter 2012 silhouette, it was the three-piece suit--as in jacket, skirt...and pants! Every single exit showed an ensemble with pants in one form or another--nothing new for Chanel or Emperor Karl. It was a very chic look. Colors were black, violet/royal blue, grey, burgundy, green and variations on each.
