FENDI, CHANEL and the Karl Lagerfeld brand are teaming up for a Karl Lagerfeld Memorial at the Grand Palais — the venue where Lagerfeld has presented his CHANEL collections since 2005.
So on June 20, the vast nave of the Grand Palais in Paris will be wallpapered with 56 towering portraits of Lagerfeld and decked out with three giant LED screens, vast custom carpets, two Steinway pianos, two large bars and a main stage that will welcome a rotating cast of top film and music stars, all with ties to the late designer, who died Feb. 19 after an unprecedented fashion career.
The tribute, named “Karl For Ever,”has been organized by the houses of Chanel, Fendi and Karl Lagerfeld and conceived by theater and opera director Robert Carsen.
The invite-only event is expected to be attended by almost 2,500 guests on the evening of June 20 during Paris Men’s Fashion Week.
