Chanel and Fendi have come together to
stage a memorial for Karl
Lagerfeld in collaboration with the late designer’s eponymous brand. “Karl
For Ever” will be staged at the Grand Palais – the iconic Paris venue that was
transformed into the fantastical settings of his Chanel shows since 2005 – on
the evening of June 20 during Paris Men’s Fashion Week.
Orchestrated by theatre and opera director Robert Carsen, the
commemoration will comprise video footage of Lagerfeld and his collaborators on
three screens, in addition to interpretative dance, music and theatre performances
based on work admired by the former creative director.
“I wanted something full of life and unexpected,” Carsen told WWD
of the invitation-only event,
which should see some 2,500 guests in attendance.
“He once famously said, ‘A funeral? I’d rather die.’”
“It will be a very powerful moment, a collective celebration of
his persona,” said Bruno Pavlovsky, Chanel’s president of fashion. “The
memorial will be about Karl only: who he was, what he loved, what gave him his
exceptional energy. I am glad we could join forces with Fendi and Karl
Lagerfeld to create together an exceptional event that measures up to him, a
tribute that truly celebrates the things he loved and that inspired him.”
