Karl Lagerfield fully adopted an autumnal outdoor theme for the new Chanel FW18 show during Paris Fashion Week. The set was located at the Parisian Grand Palais and it was completely transformed to resemble a forest with tall trees and detailed foliage. Showcased at the Chanel FW18 show were a total of 80 looks ready for the fall weather. The offerings boast a wide variety of styles, featuring pieces like long black lace dresses, oversized scarves, fur pieces and the luxury label's classic tweed.
The new Chanel FW18 collection delivers a mainly muted color palette with its predominant black and gray offerings, but has pops of color throughout. A notable item from the luxury brand's latest collection is the puffer jacket that is coated in the signature Chanel quilted leather.
