Last night, Karl Lagerfeld hosted his 2018/2019 Chanel Métiers d’Art runway show in New York City. (The show is traditionally held outside of the fashion week schedule as a way to showcase the craftsmanship and work of Chanel's specialized ateliers.) The theme for this year's collection was inspired by ancient Egypt and appropriately held at the Temple of Dendur room in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Models walked the runway in gilded skirt suits, cocktail dresses, and gold footwear that blended in with their gold-spray painted legs. Here, 11 things to know about Lagerfeld's latest extravaganza.
