Chanel's Spring/Summer 2013 runway production stole the show at Paris' 2012 Fashion Week. A series of unthinkably high and wide wind turbines lined the catwalk, turning in mid air as the models walked out of a diamond-shaped opening.
Karl Lagerfeld's position as Chanel's Creative Director has allowed him to put on these elaborate presentations. He has yet to disappoint his often critical audience, delivering epic sets at the head of each season.
Few have been able to predict Lagerfeld's direction. His incorporation of eco-technology in the Spring/Summer 2013 viewing displays just how far he can and will go to shake up the couture world, an ever-changing scene that the German artist and designer has managed to conquer throughout the years.
