As the ’90s drew to a close, Lagerfeld moved away from his maximalist aesthetic in favor of something more pared back. For the Chanel spring/summer 1999 show, models glided down the catwalk with softly-smoked eyes and sleek extra-long extensions, parted to the side.

Perhaps his most mesmerising beauty look of all time, for the Chanel couture autumn/winter 1999 show, Lagerfeld cherry-picked fashion darling Devon Aoki to close the show as that season’s bride. Shrouded in a billowing cream cape, her Pepto-Bismol pink mohawk could be seen peeking out at the top.
