Chanel to stage its first NY Fashion Show in over a decade. Last year, Karl Lagerfeld took Chanel’s ambassadors, including Kristen Stewart, Lily-Rose Depp and Tilda Swinton, and some obliging fashion press to his birthplace, Hamburg, to stage his Métiers d’Art show. Before Hamburg, there was Paris, Dallas, Edinburgh and Mumbai.

Well now there’s some good news for all you Chanel fans in New York as the French fashion house is bringing its spectacular runway show to Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Taking place on December 4^th, Chanel’s Pre-Fall 2019 collection will mark the first New York show since 2006. And in the brand’s over 100-year history, they have only ever shown in New York twice – the first being in 2005 at its Fifth Avenue store (coinciding with its retrospective exhibition at the Met) and the second being a year later at Grand Central Station for its Resort 2007 collection.

The show will be inspired by both founder Gabrielle Chanel and current creative director Karl Lagerfeld’s connections to the city of New York.

According to the release from the brand: “”In 1931, Gabrielle Chanel first visited New York – a place where her revolutionary style had long been celebrated, as demonstrated by the support she received from the US department stores that carried her earliest hat creations starting in 1912. Karl Lagerfeld is also very attached to the American megacity whose energy and light he has always loved to capture.”

We’ll expect nothing short of a blockbuster return come December.
