The „Paris Cosmopolite“ 2016/17 Métiers d’art collection takes the newly-renovated Ritz Paris hotel for its decor, a setting cherished by both the House of Chanel and its founder Gabrielle Chanel. For this occasion Karl Lagerfeld affirms his attachment to Paris by choosing the Ritz Paris which he considers to be „the cosmopolitan spot par excellence“.The designer wrangled some of his muses and famous friends to walk the show — including Pharrell Williams, Alice Dellal and Lily-Rose Depp — who negotiated tables that had just been cleared of a three-course lunch. Subsequent shows, each with about 300 guests seated at round tables dotting the main-floor bar, restaurant, library and winter garden, came with afternoon tea or dinner service.
