November 9, 2016 By creative

The French model can be seen sporting the new two-tone shoes in a black-and-white short film directed by Bertrand le Pluard for the luxury fashion house. The clip, which De Maigret has posted to her Instagram account, sees her skipping around the streets of her hometown of Paris, having teamed the tomboy-style shoes with rolled-up masculine trousers and a fine knit sweater. The androgynous footwear, part of the label's 2016/17 cruise collection, feature a various smooth, patent, exotic and even perforated leather uppers, topped off with a black leather toe — a reference to the brand's founder Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel's first shoe designs in 1957.

By Astrid Wendlandt PARIS (Reuters) – Veteran Chanel designer, Karl Lagerfeld, sent his models down the catwalk on Tuesday ready for a world that is “not that sweet” in black leather combat-style boots with hard and flattened bowler-shaped hats. “Women need to be ready to defend themselves … in a world that is not that sweet,” Lagerfeld, 82, told Reuters after the show. This time round, Lagerfeld, who has been Chanel's artistic director since 1983, made sure that everyone had a front row seat.
