Lily Allen to be the new face of Chanel handbags

Lily Allen has been keeping relatively quiet recently. Her sophomore album was a critical success, and it has been at least a month and a half since she’s attacked a papparazo . She also recently went on The View and partially blamed sexism for her party-girl image, but at least she was honest about her partying. Now she has something else to keep her name in the papers: as the face of Chanel’s handbag line. Karl Lagerfeld has little to say about the pick other than that “she’s fun... Read Full Story

Watch a Chanel Haute Couture Garment Being Made

There is nothing more exhilarating in fashion than laying your eyes on an exquisite, artisan crafted haute couture garment of spectacular beauty. I'm endlessly fascinated by the techniques employed by the plumassiers at Lemarie and the embroiderers at Lesage and when I find footage of them at work I nearly explode with glee. Chanel gave The Cut exclusive video of its seamstresses turning a  Karl Lagerfeld sketch into a finished dress and jacket. "Each pattern is made and cut by hand. Each... Read Full Story

Lagerfeld Returns Coco To Venice (in spirit anyway)

Venice was one of Coco's most beloved cities, as Karl Lagerfeld reminded us in his usual didactive manner, "...Let’s not forget that Coco Chanel came back to Venice for 10 years," referring to her decade of annual visits for inspiration as well as holiday. And so the historic Italian city was chosen as the starting point for the Chanel Cruise 2010 collection as well as host and backdrop for the show. I must add that according to WWD , Karl made his comments while wearing A ROYAL BLUE JACKET... Read Full Story

Karl Lagerfeld Silently Honours Coco in Film

Karl Lagerfeld's directorial debut in silent filmmaking screens Wednesday night in Paris, an homage to Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel's early years. Who knows more about the legendary designer than Karl? He became somewhat of an Andy Warhol, casting those close to him in the 10-minute film (but I think it's safe to assume the similarities end there. Warhol's movies were beyond creepy). Lagerfeld entourage fixtures model Brad Koenig and bodyguard/private secretary Sébastien Jondeau feature as... Read Full Story
