Two heads are better than one.

Karl Lagerfeld is teaming up with one of the world's top architects to give us a new art installation which will be unveiled in New York next month.
The Chanel Mobile Art Pavilion was designed by architect Zaha Hadid and will be installed at Central Park as a temporary structure from Oct 20th to Nov 9th.


The traveling collaboration between the fashion genius that is Karl Lagerfeld and the Pritzker Prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid has already been installed in Hong Kong and Tokyo and will travel from New York to London, Moscow, and Paris.

Spotlight: Karl Lagerfeld

Karl Lagerfeld is one of the most recognizable fashion designers in the world. Twice a year, he presents four new collections: Chanel couture; a month later, ready-to-wear for Fendi; Chanel; and his own Karl Lagerfeld label. Each collection has its own, distinct look that shows us that Mr. Lagerfeld is someone with an endless source of ideas. In the few days before a show, Lagerfeld manages to oversee the goings-on of his presentations while meeting the demands of the fashion press and his celebrity followers.

Please enjoy these photos taken by Photographer Christopher Anderson. They will give you a glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes for one of Mr Lagerfeld's many shows.




Amanda Harlech, Lagerfeld’s muse at Chanel, goes through the Polaroid marked-up notes for each of the show’s looks.

Lagerfeld’s quickly sketched notes on an inspiration board. Here, on a photo of the founder, he writes, “I’d like to copy these necklaces.”



After the show, a quick hug and kiss from the Olsens, who were in the front row.
