We are SWOONING over these 12 looks from the Chanel runway show in Paris

In what is his own artistic meditation on what it means to be a powerful woman, and the many ways that can manifest through fashion, Karl Lagerfeld’s Chanel runway show in Paris features a flock of well-tailored women laced up in everything from androgynous pant suits to flowing dresses.

The one thing that unifies all the runway looks in the latest display of Lagerfeld’s designs is the dramatic and authoritative nature of the outfits, each piece stands to explore femininity in its autonomy without relying on objectification. Many of the cinched skirts and skirt suits make the models look long, secure, and rooted.

We gathered 12 of the looks that stood out to us the most, so you can get a feel for the show.
