Ines De La Fressange Ends 20-Year Feud With Karl Lagerfeld, Walks At Chanel (PHOTOS, POLL)

First Posted: 10/05/2010 1:35 pm   Updated: 05/25/2011 5:55 pm

Karl Lagerfeld and Ines de la Fressange settled a decades-old feud on Tuesday, with Ines taking to the runway at Chanel's Spring/Summer 2011 show. De la Fressange, now 53 years old, was the face of the fashion house in the '80s, but she had a falling out with Lagerfeld in 1989, "after a fracas over her lending her likeness to the French republic," according to WWD.

And don't think their fight didn't get ugly. Lagerfeld once said, "I wish her all the luck in the world, just so long as I don't have to see her any more or hear her spoken about." However, the pair recently made up and Karl has even cast Ines in Chanel's spring/summer ad campaign. He told WWD, "She is beyond stunning. Also, she is the Parisienne."

Check out images of Ines from Tuesday's show and from her past Chanel catwalks:

Many people who'd been to Chanel for years noted it was the best, most elaborate show in Chanel history. Quite frankly, it was a spectacle more than an event.

she looks great--better now, in fact, than then.
but 80s clothes are NEVER that chic. they were always just too retrogressive & unattractive. no matter how wonderful ines dlf may look, 80s fashion will always detract from how much better she might have looked wearing something else.

She looks fantastic! How come the street clothes of the 80s looked so clownish and the photos above look so sophisticated. The 80s had even worse clothes and make up than the 70s--Think Linda Dano.

to continue what i started:
80s fashion was horrible: humorless, ugly, reactionary, based on money.
70s fashion was the opposite: full of humor--which the people who created it & wore it understood, lively, wild & progressive, based on things like thought & drama.
people think it's ugly but they're missing the point.
the only ugly appearing therein were the visible root-ends from which sprang the soporific maneating plant that was the 80s.

tired antiquarian, here.

He's a sly one alright.

Standing next to 17 yr olds wasn't doing Karl too many favours in last season's shows.
