This Photo Friday, we at JG Black Book are excited to announce the next best thing to wash onto the shores of Monte-Carlo after, well...Grace Kelly!

A marriage of the crème de la crème of travel, fashion, and art, of ancient and contemporary, visionary Karl Lagerfeld plans to unveil his latest masterpiece this March: the makeover of Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo's exterior. Creative director for Chanel, acclaimed fashion designer, and Paris-based photographer, Lagerfeld will use his images of haute-couture models sporting his designs in a series reenacting 'Ulysees Journey Around the Mediteranean Sea.' Etched onto backlit panels encompassing the hotel's pool, gardens, terrace, and new Joel Robuchon restauraunt, the installation is anticipatedto add to the hotel a level of luxury unimaginable to even Monaco's royalty. 

Until the real deal, voila a sneak peek at what Lagerfeld has prepared to surround Monaco's hottest travel destination:

Oo la la, to say the least!

Cheers to a stunning spring at Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo,
