It is as though the wonderfully talented Karl Lagerfeld has taken to his new Spring collection with razer blades and scissors, explaining that the "new fabrics were the touchstone of the collection", as he distressed them with "selvedge, ragged edges and a lattice of perforations". Not only was the Chanel collection more stand-out than ever, but the classic Chanel suit was reinvented to represent a swingy A-line jacket with three-quarter sleeves and shorts. Nearly every piece in the collection appeared thready, unfinished, dishevelled, but striking.
