Thigh-high gumboots, plastic hats and gloves...what was designer Karl Lagerfeld thinking!

Designer Karl Lagerfeld presented his Spring/Summer 2018 Chanel show at the Paris Fashion Week. 

While models strode the runway in extravagant outfits, the highlight of the show was the rainwear!

Take a look.

The focus of the collection was not the clothes. It were the plastic hats, hoods and gloves that the models were wearing.
