Karl Lagerfeld thinks Coco Chanel would hate what he's done with the company.

How to run a company according to Lagerfeld means, saying "screw you" to the person that gave you your job.

"I have it in my blood," says the flamboyant designer, "When I was asked to Chanel, it was not trendy at all. I made something of it because I was given total freedom by the owner. What I do Coco would have hated. It's my job to keep Chanel updated."

When Lagerfeld took over Chanel, the owner said, "I'm not proud of the business. If you can make something, OK. If not, I'll sell it. What I did, [Coco Chanel] never did....The label has an image, it's up to me to update it."
Karl Lagerfeld's Spring/Summer 2012 Collection Inspired by the Sea
Karl Lagerfeld unveiled his spring/summer 2012 ready to wear collection for Chanel in Paris today and the collection was nothing out of the ordinary. Simple outlines and lose cuts. Conservative meets chic.

With Karl, we know what to expect as he keeps true to the Chanel brand with the tweed jackets and little black dresses. The majority of the collection was white, off white or nude with some black thrown in for good measure.

Florence Welch performed during the white wonderland. The stage replaced the massive iceberg and volcanic landscapes of seasons past. There was a simplistic elegance to the collection. Lots of white, lots of pearls. Karl not only used layered pearls around the neckline, but also as belts. Very Chanel.

Her hair was swept back in a formal updo and it looked as if she had toned down her platinum blonde hair. If there’s a look Kate does well on the carpet, it’s simple chic. Never underestimate simplicity.
