With Paris Couture Fashion Week in full swing, it was Karl Lagerfeld who last night, as always, showed how it’s done.

At the unusually late time of 10pm – a statue of Coco looked down on the front row as the stars descended. Style icons Diane Kruger, Alexa Chung and Ellie Fanning all took their places for a show to remember.

Showing the usual glamourous pieces in the signature black and white, with some purple thrown in. Classic Chanel suits and tailoring strutted down the runway, with many commenting on the collection’s Parisian feel. The evening-wear glittered with high necks, low backs and sequins and cemented Chanel as the C in Couture!
