Chanel // The Metiers d'Art Show // 2012 Pre-Fall Collection

At the Galerie Courbe in the Grand Palais in Paris, Karl Lagerfeld prsented the Chanel extravaganza, Indian-inspired fashion show as guests dined on opulent 'runway' feast fit for royalty.



The Metiers d'Art show, launched in 2003 as a homage to the label's workshop.

But the event was tinged with a touch of sadness as couturier Francois Lesage, head of the renowned embroidery atelier acquired by Chanel in 2002, died last week, aged 83. But as usual, the show must go on - and go on it did.
They dined using gold-plated cutlery and were served by waiters throughout the show - a far cry from the champagne and canapes usually served.
Models, adorned with accessories including head-jewellery and turbans - also for men - walked the epic runway sporting the 2012 pre-fall collection. 



Creative director Lagerfeld often looks abroad for inspiration & I love that ! as I strongly believe in Cultural Diffusion through fashion...you know that:)
