Meet Karl Lagerfeld's three-year-old Muse

Hudson Kroenig, the godson of Chanel's creative director Karl Lagerfeld, stole the show at fashion house's Métier d'Arts 2013 show last night.

The clothes may have been beautiful and the setting breathtaking, but it was a diminutive little guy that stole the show at last night's Chanel Métiers d'Art show.

Meet Hudson Kroenig, the three-year-old son of 32-year-old male model Brad Kroenig, and godson of Karl Lagerfeld, Chanel's creative director. Dad Brad, who joined him on the catwalk (and who was overheard by WWD telling him to do his best 'Blue Steel' before last night's show) is a long time muse of Lagerfeld's - the designer has even dedicated a whole exhibition and book to photographs of him.

Chanel coat that took 3,000 hours to Make

Ever wondered why couture fashion is so expensive? Let Karl Lagerfeld explain...

Paris Haute Couture week is a world of pure fantasy, where the super-rich congregate to have their wildest fantasies indulged by the world's leading fashion designers. 

As the event draws to a close for another season then, leave it to Chanel creative director, Karl Lagerfeld, to explain why couture customers routinely spend upwards of 170,500 AED for an outfit.

"Couture has to be something nobody can do. You know the tweed is not tweed - it's embroidery, all done by hand. There's a coat with no sleeves that took 3,000 hours to make."

That's right, 3,000 man-hours by the world's most skilled couturiers - known in Paris as Petites Mains - embroiderers, button makers and weavers.

If we imagine for a moment that these craftspeople are working a regular eight hour day, that's a total of 375 days - to make one coat.

Here it is in all its glory and we have to admit, if we had the money, we so would...
