Flanked by a battalion of iconic supermodels, with the likes of Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss and Carla Bruni, Karl Lagerfeld revolutionized the fashion landscape of the 1990s. Here are the runway looks that best encapsulate the legendary Chanel style that Karl Lagerfeld shaped over the course of the decade.

After becoming the creative director of Chanel in 1983, Karl Lagerfeld quickly set about revolutionizing the fashion scene of the 1980s. A deliberately realistic elegance and a perfect evolution of the style already defined by Coco Chanel went hand-in-hand with the clothing. Every piece created by Lagerfeld at this time masterfully captured the energy of the decade. Take a look back at some of his most memorable pieces from the 1980s in these vintage photographs.
