Karl Lagerfeld, Riccardo Tisci and ….. Kim Kardashian? Ugh. Yes, you read correctly. An eight-month pregnant Kim Kardashian had the honor of being photographed by Karl Lagerfeld for the upcoming issue of CR Fashion Book. Take a look at the video below for a sneak peek — epic music, and all…
“Inside Chanel”, the video series that gives us “inside” information about Chanel myths such as Chanel Nº5, Marilyn Monroe and Chanel Nº5, Coco and the brand, Chanel and the Diamond and the Chanel Jacket — now are bringing us a five part series on the ultimate Chanel myth — the myth of Coco Chanel. Inside Chanel will take us from Gabrielle Chanel’s days as a young orphan, to the present with Karl Lagerfeld executing her vision. As each video is uploaded, I will share with you. For now, here’s a teaser…
Today is Karl Lagerfeld’s birthday and we wish him a wonderful day, with many more birthdays to come!
The new Chanel ad campaign for the Fall-Winter 2013/14 ad campaign, shot by Karl Lagerfeld, features Ashleigh Good, Chiharu Okunugi & Soo Joo Park. The trio of women follow lady-like pursuits such as sipping tee, embroidering and listening to music — in what seems to be outer space, considering the lack of gravity. I’m liking the images and I’m glad that Karl has added some diversity to his choice of models.
Victoria Beckham had some Photoshop fun and gave her son Romeo a little makeover — can you guess as who??
In Woody Allen’s latest film, Blue Jasmine, Cate Blanchett is in the title role. Lucky Magazine reports that the costume designer, Suzy Benzinger, stated: “I called up Karl Lagerfeld and, I have to tell you, I was astounded…I sent a note and in two days he shipped out two custom made jackets for Cate Blanchett with the most beautiful note. And I just thought, ‘Oh my god,’ and he just said ‘For Cate, I’d do anything’”.
I wish Karl would say, “For Gabriella, I do anything.” Sigh. I’m still looking forward to seeing Blue Jasmine though – I love Woody’s leading ladies.
WWD asked a group of designers to sketch a hypothetical gift fit for a little king — here’s Karl Lagerfeld’s sketch of a crown-themed pacifier.

In a video for the release of Karl Lagerfeld’s new line of sunglasses Karl Lagerfeld states one of the selling points of his glasses is that they “balance ugly faces.” Oh, Karl you have such a way with words but I still love you.
Karl recently shot a spread for Vogue Germany featuring some lovely Chanel goodies as modeled by Saskia De Brauw and Ashleigh Good. Unfortunately for me, the video is in German so it’s your lucky day if you are a German spearker…
