Technology is the new black.
On Tuesday, Chanel’s Karl Lagerfeld turned the Paris Fashion Week Runway into a tech center, complete with Ethernet cables, colorful wires, and black blinking handbags. Guests who arrived at Paris’ Grand Palais were greeted by an enormous sign that read just that: “Chanel Data Center.”
While Chanel stayed true to its classic tweed suits and flowing dresses for its Spring 2017 collection, the futuristic accessories are what really stole the show. Coined the “cocobot” on social media, the robotic look included helmets, collars, mittens, and shin guards.
While Lagerfeld expressed how much we all depend on technology, this may very well be the mark of the beginning of some ultra-modern trends!
