Three, two, one…blast off! Karl Lagerfield fitted out the Grand Palais with a rocket for his Fall 2017 Chanel show, complete with a mock launch to released his latest space-age inspired collection. Models Gigi and Bella Hadid walked down a futuristic silver catwalk in oversized and out-of-this world designs. Perhaps Lagerfield is designing our clothes for life on Mars.
