Which designer presented the 2014 Chanel show staged as a feminist protest march?

Karl Lagerfeld presented the 2014 Chanel show staged as a feminist protest march.

Chanel’s Spring/Summer 2015 ready-to-wear show ended with models walking through the Grand Palais carrying placards and megaphones. The presentation was styled as a street demonstration, using slogans about women’s rights and equality while combining protest imagery with Chanel’s polished fashion vocabulary.

Lagerfeld directed the show during his tenure as Chanel’s creative director. Its message and staging became widely discussed because the presentation turned the traditional runway finale into a piece of political theatre.

The event is often confused with Maria Grazia Chiuri’s later Dior debut, which famously used the slogan “We Should All Be Feminists.” Chiuri’s show took place in 2016 and belonged to Dior. Chanel’s protest-march presentation was Lagerfeld’s 2014 show, presented in Paris for the Spring/Summer 2015 season.
