Editors, bloggers, models and Chanel fans are going to have quite the time jet-setting around the world this year. Karl Lagerfeld has just announced his plans to take the French brand on the road again in 2015 with not one, not two, but three international fashion shows. It seems there’s no slowing down for the Kaiser—last year, shows took place in Dallas, Dubai and Salzburg in addition to two ready-to-wear collections and two couture collections in Paris.
The first international show will take place in New York on March 31, and will be a reprise of the Métiers d’arts collection shown in Austria last month. This means those who had to choose between attending the Chanel presentation or the Victoria’s Secret Runway Show and opted for ladies in bikinis now have the opportunity to see the collection. And just in time—the pre-fall line will be hitting Chanel boutiques in May.
On May 4, Lagerfeld will show Chanel Cruise in The Dongdaemun Design Plaza in Seoul, Korea. Designed by architect Zaha Hadid and Samoo, the DDP was also the location of last year’s Culture Chanel exhibition, The Sense of Places. For the next Métiers d’arts collection at the end of the year, he’s chosen to showcase in the city of Rome. It will be held on December 1, and while there’s no indication as of yet as to its exact location or how it will tie in to the history of Mademoiselle Chanel (as all his pre-fall collections tend to do), we’re sure it will be just as beautiful (and supermodel-filled) as his previous shows.
