Chanel has released its summer promotion for its lip collection Le Rouge. Beautiful reds, pinks and corals in lipstick and lipgloss form perfect for wearing alone, or layering. You can create a look as personal to you as your own signature. Enjoy the video below – I love how the opening shot of the video (and photo above) is essentially the same as a shot from the Chanel No5 ad from the 80s below…
You can purchase Le Rouge Chanel on Chanel.com.
Film maker Trevor Undi has released a film he made of the Chanel Paris-Édimbourg Métiers d’Art 2012/13 runway presentation. You get to see some lovely details from the collection in the video and the way it’s filmed really complements the darker theme of the collection.

Back in February I posted about the N° 5 CULTURE CHANEL exhibition coming to Paris from May 5 – June 5, 2013. Chanel has just released a video of a short excerpt of an interview with Jean-Louis Froment, the curator of the exhibit. Watch it below…
The Little Black Jacket photo exhibition will open in Dubai on April 27th. More information on http://thelittleblackjacket.chanel.com

Sarah Beeby’s created a short film about Chanel Les Beiges exclusively for AnOtherMag.com, with music by Peter Duffy. Since Chanel was known to love walking the beaches of Deauville, Cannes and Biarritz – homes to some of her first boutiques – Peter Philps worked tirelessly in the Chanel labs to create a product that would give skin a natural glow without the use of bronzer or sparkles.
The result is Les Beiges a line of lightweight, antioxidant powder in five shades that blends flawlessly with your skin. The packaging is a departure from the usual black lacquer cases and is inset with a beige panel while the curved brush ensures easy application.
The film below has a very retro feel to it incorporating elements from older movies – enjoy!
The House of Chanel lies on the foundations that Gabrielle Chanel set and one of the pillars of her house is the influence of numbers. Her lucky number 5 shows up in the world-renowned perfume, as well as the dates of her fashion shows, releases and the 2.55 bag.
In Hong Kong at the Museum of Medical Sciences, Chanel hosted Numéros Privés an exhibit highlighting the importance of numbers in the world of Chanel. Attendees were taken into different worlds as they entered different rooms of the exhibit – one devoted to Chanel N°5, one a replica of Karl Lagerfeld’s studio. As they passed they interacted with other well-known Chanel icons such as pearls and camellias. I wish I could have seen this exhibit for myself! And what I would do for one of the Chanel dolls!!

With her natural elegance and beauty, Diane Kruger is one of the freshest, most recognizable faces in film. Her close relationship with Karl Lagerfeld makes her a staple at Chanel runway shows, exhibitions and cultural events.
Attracted by her sophistication and artistic spirit, the House of CHANEL chose her for its ALLURE fragrance advertising campaign in 1996, then again for the Paris-Biarritz handbag advertising campaign, shot by Karl Lagerfeld in 2007. You can see some of her former ad campaigns below…
Now an ambassadress for CHANEL once again, Diane Kruger will be the face of a new skincare advertising campaign, due to be unveiled later in 2013.
In January of this year Chanel opened a new boutique in Hong Kong – it’s largest boutique on the island – at Hysan Place, the new luxury temple located at the center of the island. I was able to locate some images of the new Chanel Boutique in Hong Kong as Hysan Place and I hope to visit it myself one day!
You may remember a while back I posted about the Hong Kong de Chanel Collection. Chanel was nice enough to send me the collection and it’s truly a lovely collection that works in any season. The Ombres Matelassées are a gorgeous set of neutrals that will work on anyone while the nail colors make bold statements.

Yesterday I posted the behind-the-scenes video of the making of the Chanel Spring-Summer 2013 Eyewear Ad Campaign with Laetitia Casta shot by Karl Lagerfeld. Here are all the images from the campaign. Shot in black and white, Laetitia Casta’s statuesque beauty is the perfect canvas to highlight the new Chanel Spring-Summer 2013 eyewear collection – as well as get a good look at some of the accessories. The giant clear-brimmed hat, the camellia necklaces and bracelets – just gorgeous! Check out the rest of the images below…
