With the scent of Ancient Greece, the fashion show of Karl Lagerfeld in Paris.
The “Modernity of Antiquity” Cruise 2018 collection took part in The Grand Palais, which reminded Greek scenery with a delightful sunset in the background, which brought even more to the level of the uniquely unique collection!
Regarding the setting
The ancient sunset was transferred to the Paris show. In the scene appeared the Parthenon, the Temple of Poseidon, and Ionic-style columns rising through sand.
The models
The impressions have stolen models with ancient Greek style with folds, or with one shoulder, golden strokes, amphora-shaped earrings, sunglasses decorated with gold bay leaves.
The chosen color palette was inspired by Earth’s colors, light metal tones, including summer white and light pastels, with blue and black nuggets.
The designer of the fashion show said:
“It has nothing to do with a country, I do not care about reality, I’m using what I like, my own Greece is an idea.”
He stressed that he regarded Greece as the source of beauty and culture, where there was a wonderful freedom of movement that has disappeared.
Karl Lagerfeld shows his admiration for Ancient Greece as he thinks that there were no more beautiful performances of women, that Renaissance was based on antiquity and that it is the youth of the world in all its power.
The criteria of beauty in the ancient, then classical, Greece continue to apply. There have never been any more beautiful women’s performances. Or more beautiful pillars. All the regeneration, in fact, was based on antiquity. It is really the youth of the world in all its power and unpredictability – just like the relentless gods, “he says characteristically.
