The heart and heat of Dallas, Texas has made its way into the Paris fashion house with the unveiling of Chanel's Pre Fall 2014 Mens Collection.
Designer Karl Lagerfeld had the entire menswear collection western and wondrous with these cowboy-like designs. Influenced by his own love for Texas and thrilling Texans, Lagerfeld was able to create a bundle of designs that just scream chic western couture. Featuring heavy knitted poncho-inspired apparel and fringe adorned tops and strong lines this collection really speaks historical cavalry references. In addition to the poncho sweaters Karl also includes in this ravishing line, a list of chunky-heeled chic cowboy boots and fantastic western-themed fedoras can be observed.
