In honor of the late Karl Lagerfeld
The close of the Chanel Couture show has a special place in our hearts as it always wraps with a wedding dress. Dating back to the 90s, Karl Lagerfeld employed It girl models like Claudia Schiffer, Devon Aoki, Alek Wek, Kendall Jenner, and Cara Delevingne to close the Chanel show in one of his enchanting designs.
In looks spanning all bridal styles, throughout the years "brides" have walked the runway in everything from over-the-top ball gowns, minidresses, pantsuits, and most recently a bathing suit. These famous looks have been accompanied by some of today's most popular bridal accessories, such as hats, capes, sneakers, flower crowns, and more.
Often times, Lagerfeld himself would accompany the chosen supermodel and muse down the runway wearing his design, resulting in decades of fabulous fashion show finales. As we remember Karl Lagerfeld's legacy, here is a look back at some of the designer's best Chanel couture bridal looks.
