By Alexandria Sage PARIS (Reuters) – Karl Lagerfeld’s show for Chanel under the soaring glass canopy of the unheated Grand Palais on a chilly Tuesday in Paris majored on bare midriffs, a floral dreamscape and eye-popping shades of electric blue, tangerine and canary yellow. Life-sized grey paper buds opened to reveal exotic multi-colored blooms, and clusters of oversized hand-stitched flowers hanging heavily from hems of coats, exploding from shoulders or swinging from full skirts cut below the knee. “The new cleavage is the stomach,” Lagerfeld said of his 73-piece Spring/Summer 2015 collection. Oversized bouquets of flowers – whether in eclectic combinations of blue, crimson and pink, or tangerine and red – sprung from the shoulders of dresses in periwinkle silk, or red and orange.
