The show opened with two models dressed in black and white suits and topped with futuristic helmets, collars, mittens and shin guards.  Dubbed the Cocobot on Instagram, this robotic look transitioned quickly into throwback trends such as side ponytails, baseball caps and lots of peach blush.  Intimacy & technology, humour & beauty @chanelofficial @karllagerfeld #cocobot @voguegermany #pfw #grandpalais A photo posted by Christiane Arp (@christianearpvogue) on Oct 4, 2016 at 2:59am PDT #DataCenterChanel #SpringSummer2017 #PFW A photo posted by CHANEL (@chanelofficial) on Oct 4, 2016 at 3:32am PDT Karl Lagerfeld more futuristic than ever! @Chanel #SS17 #défilé #pfw #finale # #chaneldatabase #futuristic #digital #robots #cocobots A photo posted by Nadine Dabboussi Kabbara (@daretoweardubai) on Oct 4, 2016 at 8:22am PDT
