Karl Lagerfeld’s latest Metier D’Arts collection for Chanel will be unveiled on Dec. 3 in Shanghai, where the French house has just opened a new boutique in the Peninsula Hotel.
This is the eighth Metier D’Arts collection to follow previous events in Paris, Tokyo, New York, Monaco, London and Moscow – all locations that have a link with Chanel. Although Coco Chanel never visited China, she developed a strong interest in Asian arts and antiques, so Lagerfeld decided to bring to life the collection she never had a chance to create.

The German luxury fashion house Escada has been sold to Megha Mittal (daughter-in-law of steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal) for an undisclosed price, the company said on Thursday.
“Today the insolvency administrator of ESCADA AG signed a sale and transfer agreement with one of the Mittal Family Trusts,” the company said in a statement late on Thursday after the preliminary creditors’ committee approved the deal.
The statement also said: “The board of management and the new investor have agreed to cooperate on the basis of the business strategy launched in mid-2008 securing continuity of the operative business.”
All assets, shares and subsidiaries of the Escada business will be transferred to Mittal, excluding those that serve as guarantor for the Escada bond.
