The Chanel show is always our favourite spot on the fashion month schedule. So what has Karl Lagerfeld got up his leather glove this season? Today he created Boulevard Chanel No.5 and staged a street protest, with models holding signs including 'Be Your Own Stylist' and 'History Is Her Story.' Liberté, Egalité, Chanel!

Cara Delevingne led the model demo chanting 'What Do We Want?' in her (quilted) megaphone. She was joined on the catwalk by Kendall Jenner, Joan Smalls, Edie Campbell, Gigi Hadid, Charlotte Free Georgia May Jagger, Toni Garn, Caroline de Maigret and... GISELE BUNDCHEN. Quite the model army.

As for thefront row we spotted Alexa Chung, Poppy Delevingne, Laura Bailey, Caroline Sieber and Kendall's cheerleader Kris Jenner (who went matchy matchy with Karl Lagerfeld). As expected Anna Dello Russo was drowning in Chanel with her trusty Chanel shopping basket at her feet.
