Karl Lagerfeld takes sport luxe to a new level
Traditionally prim and feminine, Chanel has taken inspiration from sport for its new collection. Karl Lagerfeld interspersed models clad in masculine cricket-inspired knitwear, shin pads, cricket gloves and bats among the usual palette of elegant separates in his Chanel Cruise 2014 collection shown in Singapore recently. Holding bats like handbags and with a thumb hooked into their trousers, models strutted down the runway in their sports kits like they were couture gowns. Male models also got in on the action sporting cricket jackets, gloves, balls and bats embossed with the Chanel logo. The show, staged in a disused former nutmeg plantation, featured a beauty look of punky spiked fringe hairstyles, a clear pale base and bold blue eyeliner for the female models.
