For Chanel’s new eyewear collection Mr Lagerfeld has revisited one of Coco’s favourite reference’s – baroque – and applied it to sunglasses, with intricate metal lace carved by hand. This reminds me of the late seventies when I was a pioneer in the Baroque’n’Roll scene in Nagoya, Japan. I had a band called Ravishing Angel Chicness, we were superstars and toured constantly for about two years until I decided to walk away from my fame, preferring the simple life. Since then I have purposefully avoided baroque fashions, not wanting to be reminded of that beautiful and crazy time of my life – until now. The collection will be in stores in November.
