How beserk yet utterly genius is this?! Karl Lagerfeld decided to ship in a 240-tonne bona fide iceberg from Scandanavia for Chanel's A/W 2010 show. Not only that, over the course of six days, 35 ice skulptors from around the world were hired to skulpt it & the highest point reached 8.5 metres tall! There was also a thin sheen of water on the runway to enable stunning reflections. Gosh, I wish I'd been able to watch it. Imagine how amazing that would have been? It must have just blown the audience away! And guess what else? He only used fake fur, telling reporters backstage that "Fake is not chic, but fake fur is". I couldn't agree more! Plus, by incooperating both fake fur & melting icebergs into his show, lets hope it sends out the right message about how crucial it's becoming that we protect our environment. Only a fashion genius like Karl could could combine both fashion & global warming together in such a fascinating way. Coco Chanel would be proud!
