A giant golden lion filled the Grand Palais, its paw resting on a huge pearl from which the models stepped out. Coco Chanel was a Leo, and the lion was her symbol. It set the tone for a collection that was fierce, serious and much darker than the silvery pastels of the season before.
The colours were maroon, loden green, navy, brown and camel. The fabrics were rich and heavy: velvet trims on shadow plaids, crystal on camel, fur on tweed, and dark tapestry crusted with embroidery and beads. Gold military detailing over navy sequins gave Freja Beha Erichsen the look of a girl waiting for her soldier.
The proportions were the daring part. Lagerfeld layered short over long, with cropped jackets and elbow-length sleeves above high-waisted skirts to the knee. It is a difficult shape, long and bulky at once, and not an easy one to wear. Barely brushed hair and fresh make-up stopped it from feeling too severe.
There is an almost military discipline here in place of the usual Chanel abundance. It is not the prettiest of his couture collections, but it is one of the boldest and most focused.
