adorned plaits

We all have that friend who’s really good at hair. For Karl Lagerfeld, it’s Sam Mcknight, the guru who oversees the hair direction at Chanel’s six annual collections. For the recent Métiers d’art show, which traditionally showcases the craftsmanship involved in Lagerfeld’s complex designs, Mcknight showed off his own intricate handiwork with a series of braids adorned with ribbons and brooches, which added an equal dose of sophistication and fun. So grab that friend and a ribbon, take a seat, request a fishtail or two (because unless you’re seriously ambidextrous, it’s near-impossible to do them on yourself) and revel in knowing you have both fabulous hair and a fabulous friend (much like Lagerfeld himself).
