Chanel muse Lily-Rose Depp, who has just turned 18, took to the runway to present the collection which, like every year, pays homage to the exceptional skill of the artisans and workshops that contribute to the label's designs, including Lesage, Lemarié, Massaro and Maison Michel.

Inspired by chic and refined Parisian style, the collection gives pride of place to the French fashion house's iconic jacket, revisited here with glitter, pearls, crystals and jewel-style buttons. Highlighting the work of all the craftspeople working behind the scenes in the label's ateliers, the collection also featured plenty of embroidery and pleating.
