Chanel had just covered the whole trip including the flights, hotels, clothes, and the event tickets. The fashion designer of the show was the renowned Karl Lagerfeld, who passed away at the age of 84 this past month. The show was holding was being held/ show was held in the Louvre museum. The 2019 Summer collection was on display. During the event, the main purpose was to display their products. We purchased a luxury items from Chanel and did fine dining at some Michellin-star restaurants.
