With interview by Karl LagerfeldAfter Dallas and Edinburgh, Karl Lagerfeld chose Austria to unveil Chanel’s 13th Métiers d’art collection. A presentation designed to showcase the expertise of the exceptional houses and workshops acquired by Chanel, from embroiderers to plumbers, hatters, folders and bootmakers. Between haute-couture and ready-to-wear, this collection, presented every December, always makes reference to a city correlated with the history of the House of Chanel. This season’s show took place at Leopoldskron Castle, an 18th-century rococo palace. Karl Lagerfeld revisited dirndl, Lederhose and other elements of traditional Austrian and Tyrolean dressing.
