Karl Lagerfeld, Designing For Winemakers?
Karl Lagerfeld, Chanel's leading man, has had quite the busy week. In addition to showing his collection in a mock airplane during Spring 2012 Couture Fashion Week in Paris, getting a cat (Choupette!), launching a new line for Net-a-Porter, and interviewing himself (wait, what?), he also found time to announce a wine label.
The wine, a 2009 Gran Cru Classé, is a mix of grapes, including cabernet sauvignon, merlot, petit verdot, and cabarnet franc. The bottles are being released in honor of the 350th anniversary of Château Rauzan-Ségla, the winery Chanel has owned since 1994.
Lagerfeld is designing the exclusive bottle label, making this edition sure to be as sought-after as a 2.55. It's up for pre-sale here.
Watch Karl interview himself, face to face, something you definitely don't want to miss.
