Chanel Data Centre Spring Summer 2017

Chanel has already pushed fabric technology to the limit, but, here, the designer’s celebration of all things digital. The 2017 show took place, against the Chanel Data Centre, a gigantic simulation of one of those facilities you imagine buried deep in the heartland of the USA or Russia. It’s a fascistic notion, which Lagerfeld seemed to acknowledge by sending out a couple of CocoBots to open the show (how does King Lagerfeld do it!)

Lagerfeld re-conceptualisation of the classic Chanel tweed — was fresh and charming and teaming with colour.
