I guess Karl Lagerfeld must have gotten inspired during his China trip for the Fendi Great Wall show last fall: The backdrop for last week's Chanel couture show (above) bears a remarkable resemblance to the oversized Mao jacket sculpture in Beijing's 798 art complex (below, and which I happened to walk by just the other day). I suppose we can just infer that both the Chanel jacket and Mao suit are iconic items, but I'm not entirely sure it's the cultural reference they want to be aiming for?
