Karl Lagerfeld
Karl Lagerfeld is a fashion mogul. In addition to being creative director of LVMH's Fendi label, the fashion forward designer remains a constant at the house of Chanel, while tending to his third brand, Karl Lagerfeld.
The Karl Lagerfeld collection was lit by a rainbow coloured backdrop, as models were adorned in shades of black and white. The styles were diverse, something for everyone’s fancy. The themes ran through the conservative spectrum from Catholic school girl in a white balloon dress and neck scarf to a convent inspired grey habit.
The collection kicked off with Lagerfeld’s signature linear tailoring of transparent cigarette pants and symmetrical jackets. Tight mini dresses in bright colours brought a drop of colour into a demure collection. The conformist garments were contrasted by edgy thigh skimming dresses and dominatrix inspired harnesses. A string of contraversial accessories including spiked head bands, angular earrings and bright plastic bags accompanied all his garments. The transparency trend ran strong as numerous models were draped in translucent black trousers and tops. Tiny flared cuts of tulle and organza brought short flared skirts to life.
After his collection Lagerfeld had much to say of Valentino’s retirement, expressing his displeasure, “I am not very pleased because I think it is not good that he's stopping; he is in great shape. He should continue. It's no fun, he will be bored."

Valentino displayed his final ready-to-wear collection before handing the torch to Alessandra Facchinetti, the new creative director for Valentino. An assortment of contemporary dresses encompassed the last of the original Valentino collection, as the Italian designer graciously bid au revoir. His collection remained modern, while giving attention to various iconic themes including retro ruffles, sixties polka dots, the classic dress suit, and naturally a few signature scarlet numbers.
The collection opened with a doll like army of candy pink frocks, off the shoulder, ruffles and cinched waists. Hues of mustard and lavender embraced Valentino’s use of colour blocking, as the models sauntered down the runway in their candy striped stilettos with over sized metallic totes in hand. Bright dresses in every summer shade were present, including a blue crochet number and a sequence of polka dotted frocks. Colour blocking of sailor blues and polar whites were a favourite among many skirt suits as was the appearance of nudes and soft golden metallics. An array of polar white frocks took to the catwalk before a consortium of retro revivals made their debut, and lastly an elegant selection of evening gowns closed the show.
