All aboard Chanel Airways as Lagerfeld's imagination takes flight

The aviation theme was evident with aeroplane and departure board prints adorning several outfits.

The staple Chanel suit came in monochrome print or pastel colours, tied at the waist with a ribbon.

There was plenty of glitz in shiny silver evening tops and jackets worn with black skirts, sometimes over trousers.

Large aviator sunglasses, baseball caps, silver gloves and silver and plastic booties or sandals completed looks.

"It was about shine, the reflection of the sun on the airplanes," Lagerfeld, 82, said. "We did so much gold ... at Chanel that it was fun to make everything silver and chrome."
