Chanel model walks a dog on the catwalk at haute couture show
Following last season’s Chanel haute couture show, which featured horses on the runway, the autumn/winter edition saw a dog taking to the catwalk.
A model wearing a bright red tweed blazer and black trousers walked a black pooch in the show, which was held on a cobbled street running alongside the Seine River.
British actor Jenna Coleman matched the Parisian cobblestones – which appeared to have been painted shades of pale pink and purple – with her pastel pink striped sweater, skirt and quilted handbag.
Australian actor Phoebe Tonkin also sat on the front row.
With the street setting, the appearance of a four-legged friend and models carrying baskets filled with flowers, the show seemed to be an ode to everyday life in Paris – albeit for those with an extremely luxurious wardrobe.
Focusing largely on signatures of the French fashion house, there was a slew of monochrome tweed blazers, coats and skirt suits.
In keeping with the recent trend for ‘quiet luxury’, the famous double-C logo was barely visible on the catwalk.
Colour came with flashes of fuchsia and bubblegum pink, while black tweed looks were embellished with pastel flowers.
As usual, the show ended with a beautiful bridalwear look complete with a diaphanous veil.
Most of the models at the Chanel show – the bridal look included – wore black or white Mary Jane heels.
One of the biggest footwear trends of this year, it looks like the strappy style is here to stay.
