Other Asian celebrities spotted at the Paris catwalk include Chinese supermodel Liu Wen, Korean actress Park Shin-hye (<a href="http://www.asiaone.com/entertainment/park-shin-hye-choi-tae-joon-confirm-dating" target="_blank">who recently confirmed her romance with fellow actor Choi Tae-joon</a>), as well as Chinese singer-actress Victoria Song.

The show was glitzy but not without controversy, as designer Karl Lagerfeld's spectacular mid-winter wood for his Paris catwalk immediately fell foul of environmental activists who accused him of felling century-old trees for the show.

Veteran designer Karl Lagerfeld turned the Grand Palais into a forest, with tonnes of dead leaves strewn on mirrored steps and nine tall mossy trees planted down the middle of its vast nave.

Trees had also been chopped down for the rows of benches for his guests

The France Nature Environment group later condemned the show as "heresy", accusing the luxury brand of trying to "give itself a more green image which is completely divorced from the reality of protecting nature."

Fashion critics, however, had praised the set, with Harper's Bazaar declaring that the "runway may be (Lagerfeld's) best yet". It loved the "life-like forest" he conjured up that "seemed to extend infinitely".

The 84-year-old creator had sent out a dark and classy collection Tuesday that eschewed the bubblegum girliness of Chanel's haute couture show in January.

The few pinks and electric blues he allowed to seep into the show were confined to handbags and the very Audrey Hepburn leather opera gloves worn with a series of black lace slip dresses.

The whole top of one particularly striking coat with burnt orange velvet collars and cuffs was covered in a fall of delicate applique dark green and burnished gold leaves.

The final Lagerfeld touch was that the gloves, like his own, were fingerless.

Earthy, autumnal colours dominated, lit up with the glint of embroidered crystals and glitter, as he ran through the gamut of Chanel's classic tweedy looks - city slickers bringing a touch of ever-so-tasteful glamour to the horsey country set.

Chanel's trademark long, pearl necklaces also made a reappearance, with former supermodel Cindy Crawford's 16-year-old daughter Kaia Gerber wearing earrings featuring the brand's double C logo.

Front-row stars including French actress and singer Vanessa Paradis drooled over Lagerfeld's new big bags and accessories. They included a "log" handbag so close to the real thing you might risk losing it in the woods.
