Karl Lagerfeld must have a list of countries he wants to visits, then strategically plans it so that he can show a fashion collection there as a tax write off. So I like to think anway.

The latest reports are that Lagerfeld is planning to show next year’s Chanel métiers d’art collection in Russia in December 2008. No doubt rumors are starting now because it would probably take a year to work out what visas and approvals are needed.

Lagerfeld showed his first Chanel collection (this years métiers d’art collection) in London last week, and visited China with Fendi a few months ago, I wonder when he will come to Australia… perhaps he could show on the Sydney Harbour Bridge ;)
