Chanel gambled on a casino for designer Karl Lagerfeld’s 2016 Autumn-Winter collection at Paris Fashion Week.

Lagerfeld is happy to move with the times:
“You know fashion is not needed, there are other problems in the world which may be more important, so this is not a problem, but it’s an industry and you know, fashion has to go with time, if fashion doesn’t go with time, fashion would be lost.”

Armani held a private show at the Palais Chaillot in Paris as ever the house impressed.
Wearing flat shoes and slippers, their hands sometimes in their pockets, the models looked coolly glamorous and comfortable as they walked casually down the long runway.
