There aren’t many too many individuals who command the power to bring the streets of St Tropez to a close but Karl Lagerfeld of Chanel is one of them. This week the south of France became a flurry of activity with all the glamour of the film festival in Cannes and the excitement of Formula One in Monaco. Added to this was the catwalk show for Chanel’s cruise collection making its way through the streets of St Tropez.

The look is very much seventies chic with a nod to the glamour of years past. Models sashayed down the streets of St Tropez in babydoll dresses, high waisted trousers, hippy chic maxi dresses all in a retro feeling tan palette. This is relaxed dressing but with the elegance we love about Chanel and the glamour one expects from St Tropez.

The finale spectacular (which is always present in Lagerfeld’s shows) saw Georgia May Jagger in the style of Brigitte Bardot roll in on a Harley in thigh high boots and a tiny dress a look that encapsulated the collection.

The A-list found their way to the coast with Vanessa Paradis present, in addition to girl of the moment Leigh Lezark and long time Chanel lover Diane Kruger with partner Joshua Jackson.
