Attention Dallas: (This is Huge) Karl Lagerfeld is Hosting the Chanel Runway Show in Dallas!

SWAGG MAGAZINE has spoke with CHANEL in New York City and confirmed that the next Metiers d’ Art show will be in Dallas, according to Karl Lagerfeld. The most recent pre-collection spectacular was staged in the ruins of Lithlinglow Palace in Edinburgh, Scotland.

“To do the opposite, next time, in a year, I will go to Dallas,” said Lagerfeld. “You know why? First of all, I love Texas. I love Texans. There’s another reason. When Chanel reopened, the French press was beyond nasty. The only press that understood it immediately was the American press – so I think it’s a nice thing to go there.”

The designer went on to explain what exactly it is that he looks for when deciding on his ever-spectacular show backdrops – establishing what the Chanel woman wants at that particular moment in time.

“Normally I try to find a vague connection. For Scotland, it was easy because her lover was hunting with her in Scotland and it is how she discovered tweeds,” he said.  “She went to Venice a lot, that’s why I did a show in Venice. She had a Russian lover, and loved Russian art, and so I did it in Russia. I try to find a connection, but the connection is often very vague. With Texas, it’s a detail, but with little detail, you can make a whole story. I am a storyteller for that.”

An exact date and location has not been released yet but SWAGG will be the first to know and we will keep you posted so you can purchase your  VIP tickets ASAP!

FOX Sports Southwest has partnered with the Texas Rangers to host a Fan Sleepover at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington and a special screening of the iconic baseball film The Sandlot on Saturday, May 11.

 

Gates to the event open at 5:30 p.m. The sleepover kicks off at 6:00 p.m. with the Rangers road game vs. the Houston Astros shown on a large display screen in the outfield followed by the screening of Twentieth Century Fox’s all-time baseball classic in celebration of the beloved film’s 20th anniversary.

 

Fans can camp out under the stars in the outfield with their sleeping bags, sleeping mats and pillows to enjoy the special ballpark experience that runs until 7:00 a.m. on Sunday, May 12.

 

Filmmaker David Mickey Evans and members of The Sandlot cast, including Chauncey Leopardi (Michael ‘Squint’ Palledorous) and Patrick Renna (Hamilton ‘Ham’ Porter) will be at the sleepover to meet and greet fans.

Ranked in the Top 40 as one of the best sports movies ever, The Sandlot originally was released in 1993 and still captures the hearts of baseball fans young and old.

The nostalgic coming-of-age movie set in the early 1960s is about a clumsy kid that moves to a new neighborhood with his mom and stepdad. Through trials, tribulations and adventures, he learns the game of baseball from the neighborhood kids in their local sandlot. The film’s classic line, “You’re killing me Smalls!” still resonates with baseball and movie enthusiasts.

Alexander McQueen Opening in Dallas May 1st!

Lee Alexander McQueen, (17 March 1969 – 11 February 2010) was a British fashion designer known for his unconventional designs and shock tactics. McQueen worked as the head designer at Givenchy for five years before founding the Alexander McQueen and McQ labels. McQueen’s dramatic designs, worn by celebrities including Björk, Lady Gaga and Rihanna, met with critical acclaim and earned him the British Designer of the Year award four times.

Alexander McQueen will be opening in Highland Park Village in Dallas, Texas in early May 2013. Showcasing the new store concept conceived by Sarah Burton, Creative Director of Alexander McQueen and realised together with David Collins Studio, the store will offer a complete range of Alexander McQueen women’s and menswear collections including catwalk pieces, ready-to-wear, and accessories from footwear to bags as well as the iconic McQueen scarves.

“It’s about McQueen as a point of view, the idea of making a dress out of razor clam shells or sheaves of corn, the manipulation of nature to make ornament. We were thinking about eroticism and sexuality. Everything is exaggerated and very slightly distorted.” – DAVID COLLINS

“It’s very McQueen to see something from a distance and think it’s one thing and then to look up close and discover something else. It’s important to us that everything in the stores feels very precious.” – SARAH BURTON

 

THE STORE

The 170 square metre space is spread over a single floor and houses men’s and womenswear plus accessories.

The floor is smashed and re-assembled marble. A “pinched-waist” raft is suspended from the vaulted ceiling.

Walls are covered in lacquered linen and white rubbed Gesso. A sense of rough luxury is established. Moulded plaster panels feature a cornucopia of wings, shells, cactus flowers, mushroom gills, seahorse tails, tangled leaves and more. Tiny skulls and grimacing gargoyles nestle in their folds. An apparent symmetry is subtly disrupted.

Blush-pink glass lighting echoes the organic lines of the coral reef. Mirrors are gilded silver and gold. Velvet soft furnishings feature solid bronze animal feet: gazelle hooves and monster claws. Hanging rails are crafted in black lacquer and aged brass. Stained grey wood shelving is suspended from polished brass “monkey” chains.
