Every year Karl Lagerfeld presents his beautiful, elaborate Chanel Metiers D'Art show. Expect beauty, tailoring and Chanel iconography on only the best clothes, displayed upon a catwalk that will be decorated of course, in true Chanel style. This year the Metiers D'Art show will take place in Dallas, Texas... maybe a little strange but past venues have included a Scottish castle and a London auction house. Just in time for Christmas this show promises a sense of magic and high end fashion, mixed with Karl Lagerfeld's stamp on this iconic fashion house.
Personally, I love the annual Metiers D'Art show, with my favourite year being the 2011 Paris/Byzance collection held in Paris. Lagerfeld is a genius, we all know that. However, this year he did something extraordinary, by mixing Middle Eastern cultures with the Chanel staples such as the suit, tweed jackets and the iconic pearl necklaces. The outcome? A beautiful show, full of wonder, extravagance and an array of models dressed head to toe in sparkling, white creations with jewels and precious stones encrusted into dresses and coats. Lagerfeld also used Indian models throughout the show, as well as a catwalk based on the British Raj in India. Guests sat at gold tables which had miniature trains running along them, delivering food and drink to the likes of Anna Wintour and Diane Kruger. You'll have to watch this show to believe me! It was gorgeous and I would love to see Lagerfeld looking more at different cultures to influence his collections because when he does... they are amazing! So, what to look forward to today? Who knows, what Lagerfeld will conjure up but it will be sure to be extravagant, divine, Parisian chic! Let the show begin...
