Karl Lagerfeld showed Chanel’s Métiers d’Art Pre Fall 2011/2012 collection – inspired by India’s people - last Tuesday in the Grand Palais, Paris. As Karl himself said during an interview with Wall Street Journal: ““Even the poor have dignity, and even poor women own three gold bracelets.” On the runway: lots of jewels, bold colors and precious fabrics surrounded by tables full of fresh food, macaroons and other delicious knickknacks. Wish we could take a bite!
Today’s inspiration for La Petite Digi W is Franco-Italian model and actress Elisa Sednaoui. The 23-year old beauty can count the best magazines on her resume, and she has appeared in campaigns from H&M, DvF and Chanel. She was also the main character in Karl Lagerfeld’s short movie ‘Remember Now’. Hot news: she is the face of Roberto Cavalli’s new women’s fragrance to be launched in February 2012.
Vanessa Paradis is Vogue UK’s next covergirl for the July issue – wearing a sequinned Chanel jacket we can only dream about – photographed by Mario Testino. Vanessa is part of the Ageless Style Issue which shows us lots of looks for all ages. We like.
How much we love the new campaign with Blake Lively for Chanel? A lot! Not that we’re jealous at all about the pretty Gossip Girl star. We’ve found a backstage video about this amazing shoot. Check it out in here.
It's a hard knocked life: Blake Lively wants to go to Chanel, but she just can't!
“Because we’re shooting Gossip Girl, our season finale. It’s our final five days. Every single one of the characters is in every scene. There’s no room for them to change the schedule. That’s why I’m going to Paris this weekend for the dinner. I’m thrilled. And hopefully Karl will give me a sneak peek of the show beforehand. I love seeing the pieces in person.”
Karl Lagerfeld launched together with Italian shoe tycon Diego Della Valle – fashion land calls them the Dynamic Duo – their latest collaboration for Hogan. Next to that amazing fashion line (think futuristic outerwear with hand-finished details) Karl exposed a series of black and white portraits of 13 celebs like Lou Doillon, Elisa Sednaoui, Leigh Lezark and our number one favorite male model – and singer.. – Baptiste Giabiconi.
“I’m furious that it could happen. Because the question is no longer even whether he really said it. The image has gone around the world. It’s a horrible image for fashion, because they think that every designer and everything in fashion is like this. This is what makes me crazy in that story. The thing is, we are a business world where, especially today, with the internet, one has to be more careful than ever, especially if you are a publicly known person. You cannot go in the street and be drunk – there are things you cannot do.”
Karl Lagerfeld is furious about John Galliano’s anti semetic remark to a Jewish woman and her friend in Paris.
