Faux Fur at Chanel

Karl Lagerfeld staged the Chanel show in Paris' Grand Palais with large, imported Scandinavian icebergs. Lagerfeld used the icebergs to call attention to global climate change. Water pooled around the icebergs to signify the melting icecaps.



Fur adorned each and every model. But, Lagerfeld said that not a hair of it was real and felt that in keeping with the theme of global consciousness that faux was the only way to go. Fox, polar bear, sable and wolf lined jackets, were worn as collars, adorned hot pants, covered boots and purses, and even jewelry.



Almost every collection in each fashion week for Fall/Winter 2010 featured fur. Many people do oppose real fur, yet, faux fur often feels cheap and does not look luxurious. Lagerfeld's collection for Chanel takes faux fur to high fashion and no one will know that you are not wearing the real thing.
