Karl's Ice Age

For the Chanel Fall 2010 show, Karl Lagerfeld had the team who sculpted The Ice Hotel in Sweden, to carve a 265-ton iceberg in the Grand Palais in Paris to be used as the runway for his fall 2010 show.

I absolutely adore this collection...especially the fur! From the boots, to the skirts, to the pants, to the bags....and all faux!

Karl said he went with faux fur for two reasons: first, Fendi does the best real furs and he doesn't want to compete, and second: "Technical advances are so perfect you can hardly tell fake fur from the real thing. Fake is not chic. We have got a new Chanel tweed to stop copies but fake fur is."

Loved how my girl, Freja Beha Erichsen, closed the show as the couture bride dangling a totally awesome ice-block purse on a fur-woven Chanel chain.
