Known for his mesmerising underwater, forest backdrops for his rumnways, the fashion master's legacy prevailed even during his absence while his collection was displayed. This time, the catwalk was that of a snow-covered village with mountain ranges, trees, wooden chalets, smoking chimneys and bare branches covered with snow.

Also heard from "Kaiser Karl" himself, with an account of how he first took the job at Chanel in 1983 played on the speakers inside the Grand Palace exhibition hall.
" When I was asked a second time, I accepted, because I did not do it, it was not work, "the German designer said, speaking in French."
"It's the first time that a brand managed become fashionable again, to turn itself into something desirable, "Lagerfeld added.
The guests were seated on wooden benches which had a keepsake for everyone present. They have an illustrated card with a sketch of Karl Lagerfeld in his iconic suit, along with Coco Chanel, the founder of Chanel with the words, "The beat goes on …" written on it.
The runway was flooded with favorite Lagerfelds models Kaia Gerbe, Cara Delevinge and many more who walked with houndstooth prints, long coats, puffer jackets, winter boots and trousers in dark and all-white pallets.
The show was a rather emotional one as the models were tearful walking in the fashion meister's last Chanel collection and his presence was terribly felt when no one emerged for the final bow. By the end of it, the audience offered a standing ovation to the grand finale of Karl Lagerfeld's Chanel show.
