Set sail for the South of France aboard a luxury vessel like no other

Karl Lagerfeld was in a literal mood this season: in the vast space of Paris’ Grand Palais, there was a cruise liner, La Pausa, named after Coco Chanel’s villa in the South of France. Chanel was, of course, the first designer to make clothes for wealthy clients to wear on holiday – you could say the whole thing started with her (as you could with so many other things).

Anyway, this was a collection designed for sailing round the Mediterranean: sailor pants, nautical motifs and lifebelt bags included.
