Chanel's secret Scottish fashion show location revealed.
The birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots and King James V will play host to
fashion's finest next month as fashion editors, buyers and muses roll
into Linlithgow Palace for Chanel's annual Métiers d'Arts show on
December 4.
The castle, situated in West Lothian, does not have a roof and so guests
will be protected from the elements by a huge glass cube, according to
the
Daily Record
.
Previously held in Paris, Tokyo, London, New York and Shanghai, the
catwalk event will showcase the luxury house's pre-fall 2013 collection,
and the work of the artisan manufacturers housed under its Paraffection
umbrella, including glove maker Causse, feather house Lemarié and hat
maker Maison Michel.
The luxury house, which is helmed by German designer Karl Lagerfeld,
also recently saved 176 jobs in Scotland by purchasing cashmere business
Barrie Knitwear. Based in Hawick, Barrie was formerly part of a
once-mighty, 140 year old textiles conglomerate named Dawson's that went
into administration earlier this year before Chanel stepped in to
secure its future.
