Lagerfeld’s Abominable Snowmen Hit the Runway

Chanel's Runway Monsters

Chanel's Runway Monsters

Thanks to Karl Lagerfeld’s obsession with the Abominable Snowman, we have the perfect example of how modern day fashion is becoming a show.  Don’t get me wrong, I love Disneyland’s Matterhorn ride and I visited the scary monster living inside the iconic mountain every summer of my childhood, but I never dreamed that we would find his furry suit floating down a Paris runway while enveloping a model.

Even if someone wanted to buy a couture body suit made of fur for a lot of freezing cold cash they couldn’t, as I think it’s fair to assume that Chanel will not be producing the monster costumes and I doubt that Bergdorf Goodman could find room enough to hang them on their couture floor.

I don’t want to overlook the fact that there are some instances that make it practical to dress oneself in head-to-toe fur.  Eskimos for example have been making their own garments from indigenous animals for thousands of years in order to survive the elements.

And, Luke Skywalker fashioned his own version of Lagerfeld’s vision by stuffing himself into his Tauntaun to weather a bone-chilling storm.  But I venture to say that – not in their wildest nightmares – would the little French ladies shopping the Champs Elysee ever venture into the natural conditions that would require they look like a Yetty.

    I saw this and immediately thought of your “How Fashion Became A Show” post. I just pictured Lagerfeld, as he shoved each model into his/her abominable snowman suit, saying: “This may smell bad, kid, but it'll keep you warm until I get the shelter up!”

    (Man, I am such a nerd for knowing that!)
