Linlithgow to host Chanel show

Dec 4 2012

 

A host of A-list guests are expected to appear on the red carpet for a fashion show being held by luxury fashion brand Chanel.

Linlithgow Palace in West Lothian has been chosen as the location for the Metiers d'Art collection by the French brand's creative director Karl Lagerfeld.

The collection will be presented within the walls of the 15th century palace, the birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots.

Since 2002, Karl Lagerfeld has dedicated an annual ready-to-wear collection to showcase specialist craftsmanship.

It is held in a different country each year and this year his selection is thought to have been inspired by the heritage of Chanel in Scotland.

The fashion brand recently bought a cashmere mill in the Scottish Borders after its owner went into administration.

Chanel took over Barrie Knitwear in Hawick, securing the jobs of its 176 staff, last month. The company has worked with Chanel for more than 25 years producing cashmere knitwear, including its famous two-tone cardigans.

Hollywood actor Brad Pitt is the current face of a campaign for the women's fragrance Chanel No 5, while actress Keira Knightley fronts an advert for the label's Coco Mademoiselle perfume.
