The Australian director had worked with Lagerfeld on a Chanel No. The exhibit was indeed more crowded than usual during the gala, and one of the first to visit was Baz Luhrmann. This year, museum officials really wanted them to see the sumptuous show on Lagerfeld - so they helped things along by routing the crowd from the receiving line to the exhibit, with cocktails and dinner down one floor.

Met officials estimated the number at 100,000, obtained from a recycling plant - and headed back to a recycling plant.
