At his Spring/Summer 2008 couture show in Paris, Karl Lagerfeld and his models marched around a giant Chanel-branded fashion statue. Taking center stage at the show was a gigantic cardigan, one of the key fashion pieces iconic of the Chanel design house, complete with intertwined C logo. Standing 75 feet, the white jacket rotated slowly around the Grand Palais. Lagerfeld chose the cardigan to celebrate his new take on the classic piece. For the show’s finale, Lagerfeld took the hand of model Devon Aoki as he made his rounds waving to adoring fans which included supermodel Claudia Schiffer and film-maker Sofia Coppola.  The silhouette of the 2008 vintage Chanel couture jacket is long-line, closely fitted to the body and nipped into the waist and fastened with the house signature buttons. Shoulders are slightly rounded and the collar set back to bare plenty of neckline and sleeves are three-quarter length, finishing in cuffs just below the elbow.
His favourite pairing was with short, gently draped tulip-shaped skirts, with the petals parting mid-thigh, often in slippery satin. Alternatively he showed a box-pleated mini with a hem like a puffball and cropped breeches.
