Chanel will present its Cruise 2013/14 collection on May 9th, 2013 at the Loewen Cluster in Singapore. Chanel has just released an image of the Chanel Cruise 2013/14 invitation featuring a sketch by Karl Lagerfeld. I’m excited to see this collection!
Here’s the video for Chanel’s The Little Black Jacket opening night in Dubai featuring interviews with Rita Ora, Zeina Abdallah, Caroline de Maigret, Abdulla al Kaabi, Haya & Sama Abu Khadra and Gaspard Ulliel. The exhibition will be on view from April 27th to May 11th at The Venue, Downtown Dubai.

The internet has been abuzz with the news that Karl Lagerfeld chose Keira Knightley to play Coco Chanel in an upcoming short fashion film and the trailer is now here! Entitled “Once Upon A Time” the short film features Keira Knightley as Coco Chanel as a young designer at her first boutique in Deauville, France. French film actress Clotilde Hesme is also in “Once Upon A Time” and I’m guessing she plays Coco Chanel’s aunt Adrienne.
The full film will be posted on http://www.chanel-news.com on May 8th at the same time as its premiere in Singapore, the destination chosen by Karl Lagerfeld for his upcoming Cruise fashion show.

Melissa x Karl Lagerfeld launches today!
Karl Lagerfeld shot Cara Delevingne for the 9th edition of Plastic Dreams, Melissa’s magazine, featuring the MelissaxKarl Lagerfeld collection. All the pictures will be exhibited at the Galeria Melissa on Green Street in New York but you can see some behind-the-scenes action of the shoot below…
Last November I mentioned that the upcoming Chanel Resort 2014 collection will take place in Deauville to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the opening of Coco Chanel’s first boutique. While it appears that he is now showing the Cruise collection in Singapore, Karl Lagerfeld is directing a Chanel film featuring Keira Knightly as Coco Chanel. Though shooting in Paris, he plans on recreating the seaside town with “detailed retro sets.” Chanel’s aunt Adrienne (pictured above on the right with Coco Chanel) will be played by French actress Clotilde Hemse. The film will also feature Stella Tennant, Tallulah Harlech, Caroline De Maigret and Brad Kroenig and his son Hudson. The film will debut in May along with the collection.
Melissa shoes has its own in-house magazine called Plastic Dreams and for Issue 9, Karl Lagerfeld photographed It Girl Cara Delevingne in his exclusive collection for Melissa. The first of four collections, this is the first we’re seeing of the actual shoes! I can’t wait to see the rest!
Laura Brown of Bazaar sat down with Karl Lagerfeld to chat about when he gets his best ideas, being free of temptation and what he would do if he were invisible for a day. As always, the interview is full of Karlisms – check it out below…
As is his custom, Karl Lagerfeld shot the Chanel Fall-Winter 2013 Ready-to-Wear press kit at Studio 7L in Paris. Here is a sneak peek of the behind the scenes action of the photo shoot.

Chanel has released Episode 4 of Inside Chanel and this video takes us inside Chanel’s infamous jacket. This film illustrates the rich heritage surrounding the house’s iconic jacket, which is as relevant today as it was the day Mademoiselle Chanel created it in 1954. Along with the film, Chanel has released some sketches by Karl Lagerfeld featuring Coco Chanel and her signature jacket. The full version of the film releases on Wednesday, March 13th. Stay tuned for more!
