Branches, laurel leaves and olive leaves: belts, cuffs and bracelets designed by Karl Lagerfeld underscore the collection’s draped pieces with gold accents.  

Cruise 2017/18 show

Ellie Bamber, Keira Knightley and Anna Mouglalis were among the guests at the Cruise 2017/18 show presented at the Grand Palais.

Antiquity meets fashion mythology in these white dresses with fitted waists embroidered with sequins to create a marble effect.

Dresses in fringed tweed with zippers and rope belts have the simplicity of Mediterranean tunics.

Roman-style sandals are given a new look with "column" heels and laced leather straps.

Draped dresses are printed with gold-tinged crowns of oak leaves and laurel branches intermingled with camellias.

Organic and geometric knitwear motifs borrow from ancient vases and friezes, featuring Greek wave, meander and foliage patterns.
