Lagerfeld makes political statement at fashion show
Print Edition
“MAKE Fashion Not War!” “Feminism not masochism!” Paris street protests with sexy slogans made their way onto a luxury catwalk yesterday in a striking Chanel show drawing inspiration from the challenges faced by women in the world today.
For his spring/summer 2015 show set inside the vast, domed Grand Palais, designer Karl Lagerfeld sent a cast of models waving placards and loudspeakers onto a Parisian street.
Australian “Great Gatsby” director Baz Luhrmann, French-American actress Julie Delpy and US Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour were front-row attendees at the show, on the penultimate day of the Paris ready-to-wear collections.
On the catwalk, too, Lagerfeld brought in big names, with Kendall Jenner, Gisele Bundchen and Cara Delevingne all appearing in a collection dominated by bright, almost psychedelic, colors.
The slogans they carried blurred classic feminist and fashionista lines, urging viewers to “Be Your Own Stylist” and “Free Freedom.”
Speaking afterwards, Lagerfeld said his mother had been a feminist but that he believed the cause of equality was moving backward not forward.
“I thought it was the moment to insist a little bit again. Especially in France, you feel it. The atmosphere is not good,” he said.
Lagerfeld described the clothes in his latest ready-to-wear collection as about mixing and matching, and urged women to be creative. “Do it yourself. Dress yourself,” he said.
