Chanel does Dallas

Models walk the runway during Chanel's Metiers d'Art fashion show at Fair Park, in Dallas, Texas, Dec. 10, 2013.

For more than a decade, designer Karl Lagerfeld has picked a city linked to the house for the theme of the show staged each December to highlight the work of its artisans. Fashion house founder Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel visited Dallas in 1957 at the invitation of Stanley Marcus, who led Neiman Marcus, the Dallas-based luxury retailer founded by his family.
