| Iselin Steiro Stylist Ingela Klemetz-Farago and her husband photographer Peter Farago have just completed their book Northern Women in Chanel which had them travel all over the Arctic plains for over a year shooting the beautiful women of Scandinavian and Baltic descent. With unlimited access to Chanel couture and its archives, the couple shot over 300 looks and pay homage to Nordic stars such as Carmen Kass, Helena Christensen, and Freja Beha Erichsen. At 384 pages with the preface written by Karl Lagerfeld and a portion of the proceeds going to Save the Children, this book is sure to be a best seller - put me down for one! |

THE TALE OF A FAIRY
I have no idea what's going on here but I'm freaking out. This is the trailer for Karl Lagerfeld's new short film that will accompany the Chanel Cruise show next week in Cap d'Antibes. Apparently it's a full 30 minutes and will debut Tuesday May 10th, 12 noon PST at Chanel.com - holy shit! I'm excited, intrigued, kinda scared, completely fascinated and wondering is there anything this man CAN'T do?!?! OK let's discuss the cast: Kristen McMenamy - who's been everywhere lately, Amanda Harlech - Karl's right hand woman, Baptiste Giabiconi - Karl's muse (aka boy toy), Mark Vanderloo - hot much??? and Anna Mouglalis kissing a topless Freja Beha Erichson who's the fairy! "I'm nobody....I can change it all" OMG what does it mean???? Love it.

One of the most anticipated shows this season in Paris was of course Chanel. And once again, Karl did not disappoint. Oooooh let's discuss! Today's presentation was in stark contrast to the last Spring-Summer show which was set in a beautiful manicured garden. Models walked a dark, gothic like landscape complete with steaming asphalt and edgy backdrop. The collection itself showcased lots of boucle (Chanel staple), leather and lace, silk crepe, chunky cardigans, and boxy jackets all in relaxed silhouettes with layering in full effect. The genius that is Karl Lagerfeld can't be denied. I CAPITAL L-O-V-E love Chanel and so do you. Right?? Now that that's been established you may carry on.

FLASHBACK / CHANEL FALL 1993
The chains, the tweed, the quilted leather! Chanel is THE BEST - always was, always will be. Here's a flashback to 1993 and as you can see the show was a-mazing. All the supers were there and it was the Paris debut of Kate Moss! I can't help noticing how different shows were back then. First off they were waaaay longer and second the girls looked healthy, happy, and genuinely into it. LOVE.

WTF? ARE YOU INSANE?!

OK hold on. I can't comprehend right now where Blake Lively is coming when it's been reported that she will NOT be attending the upcoming A/W 2011 Chanel show because she thinks it would be "tacky" to do so?????????? Surely this is just a rumour. I mean c'mon, recently she had been named the new face for the Mademoiselle line of handbags so that pretty much guarantees her a front row ticket along with the fact that Karl loves her. So what gives? Apparently she's opting to host a press dinner in Paris to discuss her new role. Booorrrriiiiiiing. She was front and center with Anna Wintour at the last Chanel couture show for God's sake! So confused right now....
