(NEW YORK) The Fashion Institute of Technology will honor Lagerfeld on September 10, adding yet another massive event to the flood of activities. Lagerfeld will receive the Fashion Visionary Award at the Couture Council Luncheon that Friday afternoon. Guests will congregate at Avery Fisher Hall in the Lincoln Center Plaza, as Simon Doonan plays the role of master of ceremonies and Chanel muse Diane Kruger presents the distinguished award. The chairwomen include Daphne Guinness, Amanda Brooks, Poppy Delevinge, Lauren Santo Domingo, among others.

Proceeds from the event will benefit The Museum at FIT, New York’s only museum devoted solely to the art of fashion. Profits from the luncheon will enable the museum to feature exhibitions, such as the upcoming Japan Fashion Now (September 2010-January 2011) and Daphne Guinness (September 2011-January 2012). We just hope Lagerfeld saves room for lunch! The award ceremony is hot on the heels of the buzzed-about Chanel dinner, which will take place the night before on September 9 at the Soho boutique.
