Karl Lagerfeld had the models in the Chanel show walk through an intricate, mazelike set. "'I've seen the space in my head and girls confidently walking in the criss-cross directions,' he said of conceiving the idea. 'All I had to do was add colors like the pinks and the greens.' And how did he get inside the maze for his finale? 'That I don't know and it's a strange thing. It happens to me often early in the mornings,' he said. 'I get into the middle of mazes and come out of completely nowhere!'" What does that mean? [FWD]
