Verve Exclusive: Backstage at the Chanel RTW Show 2016

Text by Wyanet Vaz

The ‘Front Row Only’ show by Karl Lagerfeld proved to be that point in fashion where couture became ready-to-wear. Verve takes you behind the scenes…

The unending runway saw a catalogue of over 90 looks, and each one was designed with utmost precision and intricacy. A stickler for revolutionary styles, Karl Lagerfeld infused street with couture. From Coco Chanel’s favourite pearls to equestrian motifs and boater hats, the Chanel woman this season is all about relaxed silhouettes. Skipping heels completely, the knee-high boots were meant for just walking (like the Nancy Sinatra song). In this exclusive behind-the-scenes video, take a closer look at the over-sized coats and chunky accessories that will define the winters of 2016.
