Kaiser "Karl" and his muse for the Chanel Eyewear campaign

Karl Lagerfeld loves to discover new faces. This time he photographed the english model and socialite Alice Dellal.The visuals, for the eyewear collection of Spring Summer 2014, have a romantic energy. The sunglasses focus on contemporary shapes such as cat eye, round, XXL square or oval. The sunglasses are classified in Bijou, matelassé or dentelle. They are all rich in details, with the double C on the side, as usual. You can find the new collection in Rome in the Chanel flagship store in via del Babuino 89.
