Chanel printemps ete 2013

German fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld on Tuesday used the finale of his Chanel haute couture show in Paris to signal his support for gay marriage.

Closing his spring 2013 show, two female models in long white gowns and trains swept into an amphitheatre in Paris’s vast Grand Palais accompanied by Lagerfeld’s four-year-old godson Hudson Kroening.

Speaking backstage after the show, Lagerfeld confirmed that it was intended as a show of support for gay marriage, although he said that he was “less supportive” of what he called gay men “ordering babies”.
