It was surely one the most glamourous things Berlin has seen for a while when, on November 20, Karl Lagerfeld, Carine Roitfeld and a team of fashion figures from the extended Chanel family arrived in Berlin to celebrate the installation of the Little Black Jacket exhibition of 113 photographs made by the ultra-chic Parisian duo for the book of the same name. No event hosted by Chanel would ever be less than 100 per cent chic, and this wasn’t an exception: the renovated former U-Bahnhof space beneath Potsdamer Platz had been turned into a gallery, where the exhibition will show until December 14, and guests were taken by surprise some time into the night as a curtain was swept back to reveal an entire adjoining nightclub. Around 10pm, Mr Lagerfeld himself swept into the room in a firestorm of flashbulbs, took a seat overlooking the dancefloor and enigmatically watched the party turn into a riot of fabulous fashion fun. Guests included the like of Alice Dellal, Laetitia Casta, Elisa Sednaoui, Ana Girardot and many others.
See for yourself what the excitement is all about by visiting the exhibition.
