Chanel to Stage Métiers d’Art Show in Salzburg

The hills are about to be alive again in Salzburg, this time with the squeaking of designer running shoes on the catwalk. The location for Chanel‘s much-anticipated Métiers d’Art show has been revealed, and Karl Lagerfeld is taking a trip to Austria to show his next collection. 

According to Vogue UK, the big event will go down at Leopoldskron Castle, a stunning locale commissioned for the Prince Archbishop of Salzburg’s family in 1736The location sounds a little random, but Salzburg actually has a strong connection to the Chanel heritage. The house’s famous little black jacket, designed by its founder Coco Chanel, was inspired by a jacket worn by an elevator attendant in Salzburg. 

The show promises to be quite a spectacle — Leopoldskron Castle is known for its opulent Rococo decor, so we have a feeling Chanel’s next collection will match the show’s surroundings. Either way, it will definitely be a production…probably with a lot of little black jackets.
