The collection was filled with rich brocades, luxurious sequins, ruched boots, new longer length dresses, some seriously puffy sleeves, tousled hair and lions. Yes, Lions.<br /><br />One of Karl Lagerfeld's most sumptuous and elegant collections to date, the Chanel show and collection were punctuated with multiple appearances of the King of the Jungle.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbsTylaoIB8jQLx7L9jCQXcWJWreoAzP9ZqiKTnWty_qWrMNqfEPm3H0KPTyOOwEP3KvR7Xwku_7PE5f1w44a2h700a8dtkbwGqhLl3heSHcnvZgqaBTBUsDsHED5waA-o7XHzqvST_t4/s1600/lion-set-coseup.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492478893923778210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbsTylaoIB8jQLx7L9jCQXcWJWreoAzP9ZqiKTnWty_qWrMNqfEPm3H0KPTyOOwEP3KvR7Xwku_7PE5f1w44a2h700a8dtkbwGqhLl3heSHcnvZgqaBTBUsDsHED5waA-o7XHzqvST_t4/s400/lion-set-coseup.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 524px; height: 348px;" /></a><br /><br />The set in Paris, designed by Stéfan Lubrina, had an enormous statue (reported to weigh 8 tons) of a Lion through whose giant paws the models strutted Karl Lagerfeld's latest looks.
