To better convey the Imperialist Russia theme of his Chanel pre-fall collection last night in Paris, Karl Lagerfeld sent out an all-Eastern European flock of catwalkers. Radiant Muscovite Sasha Pivovarova led the procession and fellow countrywoman Natasha Poly closed the show, with Tanya Dziahileva, Snejana Onopka, and Inguna Butane all making appearances. One notable absence was Lithuanian-born Edita Vilkeviciute, who portrayed Coco Chanel in the silent film Lagerfeld aired before the collection. No word on the quantities of vodka and caviar consumed backstage (we kid, we kid).
