, Dallas, … Where Karl Lagerfeld takes Chanel's famous travelling Métiers d'Art show is always a hotly contested location. And next, the spotlight falls on Austria.

Known for weaving a city's history and traditions into his sartorial celebration of the house's artisans, Karl will host the upcoming show at Salzburg's 18th-century Schloss Leopoldskron – one of the most notable palaces in Austria.

'This castle, banked on the shores of Lake Leopoldskroner Weiher, has been inextricably linked to the rich artistic and intellectual life of Salzburg's society throughout its history, and will provide a spectacular stage for the collection,' runs the missive from Chanel HQ.

Watch this space: the collection will be unveiled on Tuesday, 2 December.
