A few days after the CHANEL 2016-17 Autumn/Winter Ready-to-Wear collection was held at the Grand Palais in Paris, artist Pharrell Williams, a close friend of designer Karl Lagerfeld, visited the Métiers d’Art atelier to observe the collection's creation process.

Pharrell Williams is no stranger to the brand, having co-starred with Cara Delevingne in Karl Lagerfeld's short film "Reincarnation" and appeared in the front row of shows.
