The Power Issue 2014: Chanel Army Takes Texas

Metiers d’Art is an annual travelling fashion show that designer Karl Lagerfeld puts on for Chanel.  Famous for wearing fingerless gloves (just as Coco Chanel herself did) to protect his hands from sun damage, Lagerfeld has been an essential part of the fashion world for many years, whether he is designing, organizing, or leading. This year, Lagerfeld decided to take Chanel to Dallas, Texas for a fashionable ode to a southern belle take on modern day couture.  

Many people feared the show would be too much of a "parody of a 'kitschy cowboy town,' with cheerleaders," but they were pleasantly surprised by a sophisticated yet fun show displaying a vintage Texan theme.  Here are some photos from the success:
