Even in the midst of uncertainty, Chanel still plans to showcase its next Métiers d'Art collection on December 3 in Hangzhou, China. The announcement comes less than a month after industry powerhouse Virginie Viard left the brand as creative director, who largely contributed to its success as the second largest luxury house in the world by sales.
Created in 2002, the Métiers d'Art collections are timed around pre-fall and celebrate the work of highly-skilled ateliers, including embroiderers, feather workers, goldsmiths and shoemakers. They've been presented all over the globe, from New York City and Dallas to Senegal and Scotland.
