Chanel created a snow-covered winter wonderland for its autumn/winter 2019 show, showcasing a monochromatic collection co-designed by Virginie Viard and the late, great Karl Lagerfeld.
In true Chanel style, each and every detail was elegantly executed, not least the hairstyles by the fashion house’s go-to hairstylist Sam McKnight.
While many of the models wore hats matching their suits (including Cara Delevingne), others revealed unfussy but feminine romantic hairstyles which were centre-parted and secured half-up.
Penelope Cruz, who joined the Chanel family last autumn, modelled a black bow and white feathers in her hair.
The image both reinforces that idea of fashion’s continual obsession with hair bows (an accessory Chanel has frequently revisited, and one Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel would wear herself), while demonstrating that the autumn/winter ready-to-wear trend for feathers will be one to take to your tresses too.
Cruz carried a white rose in her hand (with her chic, short nails lacquered in white polish), which was clearly a tribute to her close friend, Lagerfeld.
Details like this were many of some touching tributes to the legendary designer, who died on 19 February aged 85. During the emotional show, which saw models crying on the catwalk, a minute's silence was held to remember Lagerfeld.
