6 Things to Know Right Now About Chanel's A/W 16 Show
Of all the Paris Fashion Week catwalks we look forward to year after year, Chanel consistently tops the list. Not only do the collections tend to clue us in on the mood for the following season, the sets are always magically thought out, and the front row never fails to impress. This season, Karl Lagerfeld presented his show, entitled "Front Row Only," in an atelier backdrop with simple golden chairs lined up side by side creating a long front row formation. Mica Arganaraz opened the show in head-to-toe pink, a colour that continued throughout. There were also interesting details, like the sweaters tied around the neck, cute bucket hats fastened atop the models' heads, and no shortage of strands of pearls. Scroll down for six quick facts about the show so you can sound in-the-know at work today…
