German designer Karl Lagerfeld and model Ashleigh Good appear at the end of his Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2014-2015 fashion show for French fashion house Chanel in ParisBy Alexandria Sage PARIS (Reuters) – Fashion designers and architects are very different animals, but their eye for form and sculpture is the same, which may be why Karl Lagerfeld drew influence from the pioneering architect Le Corbusier for Chanel’s Fall/Winter 2014-2015 collection presented on Tuesday.
