Karl Lagerfeld has done futuristic for Chanel before,
most recently in 2016, but sending Coco’s house
into space was a first. Glittery, low-heeled lunar
boots, some with black toecaps, anchored the
“Chanel space station collection” that infused a
Space: 1999 vibe into metallic tweed tunics and
silver padded stoles, silver leather coats trimmed
with fur, and Lurex sweaters and midi skirts.
Eveningwear was taken to the final frontier by
constellations of Chanel pearls embroidered onto
dresses, and gowns with a wacky astronaut print
were oddly compelling. As for the bags, slouchy
Gabrielle handbags (top left), iridescent structured
lady bags and cute rocket-shaped purses are set
to take off.
