Défilés on line Chanel ... at Carrousel du Louvre Denyse Beaulieu / pictures : Vincent Lappartient This season, the rue Cambon intersects with Carnaby Street, as Karl Lagerfeld engineers a summit meeting between two grandes dames of fashion, Chanels the Twenties’ revolutionary and Mary Quant, the figurehead of the Swinging Sixties. Two icons of sartorial modernity, both pioneers and liberators of women. Of course, there is nothing retro about the result: the mini-skirts looks fresh paired with knit leggings – knit being at the very core of the Chanel revolution --, in tweed of course, with a Pop reworking of the house’s emblematic camellia. With a noted re-introduction of the fifty year old “2-55” quilted lambskin bag, which will certainly appear on the most-wanted list this fall.
