Chanel Appears to Enjoy the Bumpkin Style…
So called Chanel Spring/Summer Cosmetics Collection 2010. Screw the angeblich sweet chocolate and tawny gold dreamlike make up!!! Do you know there is a big race in the world named yellow race. I can’t imagine what we would look like when our wampee skins are covered by these nude cosmetics. Well, if this collection aims to match their bumpkin style in 2010 of Chanel, that’s OK with me, however, the only requirement is to tag a note on them writes: only and perfect for the white. Thank you very much…
Karl Lagerfeld Caricatured by Alexsandro Palombo
Whew!!! This is the most creative and funny image of our fashion daddy Karl Lagerfeld. But I just don’t know whether Karl himself would be glad to see those pictures or not. Cuz the behind illustrator is Alexsandro Palombo,who is famous for spoofing the hot stuff in fashion world or the other fields. In his past works, you can find “Calvin Klein swinging through the air like Tarzan, the Queen of England in harlequin leggings and fashion critic Suzy Menkes posed with both a cat and a chicken. Above, David Letterman gets frisky with Anna Wintour”. Well, he is indeed the Kuso Guru.
This time Alexsandro has brought us Karl's Journey in his second book of illustrations. It’s a story about the journey of Paris by Karl before he steps up to UFO. Feasuring our familiar impression of Karl---significant pony tail, sunglasses, and upright form, this series of pictures not only reflect Karl’s preciseness, but also show his irresistible charm. It seems that our bitter tongue is not that scandalized at this similar cheeky designer. "If you are feeling disappointed in the world and can no longer find the will to dream or unleash your imagination, don't be sad, just turn your attention to the delightful Karl Lagerfeld and he will be able to show you more than one way to do so”, Palombo says in his blog. Aha, words end and pictures start…
Dress Your Fingers up with Chanel Finger Gloves
Perhaps having known the cold weather is standing in the way of making money from the fingerless gloves, Chanel came up with a new subtle plan to make the customer dig down. Yup, the looking like net veil things on the model's fingers are exactly its new secret weapons. What should I say? To thank Chanel for its consideration for our naked fingers, or just faint? However, not to talk about whether they are necessary or not, I must admit this unique design by Chanel is really a nice even awesome try, adding something fresh to women's jewellery box. Nude fingers with those colorful and sexy finger gloves on look quite lovely and chic. Anyway, they are good choices for you to wear them for some casual parties, which definitely enrich your whole attire a lot.
Chanel Fingerless Gloves
Fingerless Gloves are the favourite accessory of Goth and Punk rockers to show their rebellious and independent attitudes toward life. And this tough and cool trend has been blowing more and more fiercely. You can find many versions of fingerless gloves at the runways of Dolce & Gabbana, Versus and Fendi in Milan. To reveal the different fashionable grade, Chanel hasn't followed the suit of studs or zippers patterns, which on the contrary continued its own fashion direction for the next season---lace. Well, this black and white version of Chanel fingerless gloves look so elegant with the small CC logo at the bottom, bringing us a brand new romantic feel. Sexy but low key, alluring yet gentle. The only two thing that you should take into account are your pocket and the question to keep style or keep warm...
Daisy Lowe in Chanel…
Daisy Lowe has mounted the magzine headline repeatedly of late. Having gained so many opportunities for the top fashion houses, she has succeeded in dazzling the public in her own way. Moreover, her a-little-bit punky style stimulates many young people to catch the rebelled trend. And this time in the amazing cooperation between Chanel and her, she donned the garb of Chanel suit, taking off the husk of a deviant and rebellious sloven. Like a polished stainless pearl, she showed the most elegant glamour to the audience. So stunning!!!
Sparks Inspired by Karl & Zaha…
It's said that all the origins lay with the Mercer Hotel in New York.
On a rainy morning two years ago, Karl Lagerfeld met his heroine of architecture in his heart---Zaha Hadid at the hotel. And none of us could have suspected that this chance meeting produced an unprecedented result that never seen before---a movable musuem.
This masterpiece proposed by Karl and designed by Zaha is called Mobile Art. Peculiar shape and lump-joining structure---the musuem itself is a piece of chic art. And its eco-friendly concept of being detachable ensure that it can travel to anywhere in the world. Just like the Nomads have no fixed homes but move from region to region to secure their food supply, Mobile Art also would sail with its owner from pole to pole, showing its top mixed crossover and top artistic value.
Their journey of Art & Architecture will last two years. Starting from Hong Kong, this stylish "UFO" will drop in on Los Angeles, New York, Paris, Tokyo, Moscow and London. Wow, lucky dogs in those countries are going to enjoy a visual feast...really envy them...
Snoopy in Chanel and Others…
Do you know 2010 is Snoopy's sixtieth birthaday? So Japan's Fashion Week, ahead of celebration for his birthday, held exhibition at Tokyo Midtown, which is also the meeting place of Fashion Week. The contents of the exhibition was so much fun, and it seemed that the international brands still preserve traces of childishness. Why do I say so? Well, Belles, check those pictures out...
Yup, Hermes, Chloe, Chanel, and Balenciaga all have designed series of mini clothes for this cutie boy as well as his girl friend. Even the hip-hop brand G.V.G.V. Who held the fashion show this week also designed a suit of children's clothes full of rock moves, which embellished by tiny size guitar and microphone. Wowwwwww, it's so adorable, I can hardly wait to gather them into my arms...
Serena VS Helen for Chanel…
"Gossip Girl Serena" Blake Lively is on every page at any corner. Recently she attended the Fête d’Hiver Benefit at New York City’s Four Seasons Restaurant. And the "Helen of Troy" Diane Kruger was also turned up to co-host the event. The two hottest girls lately appearing together dressed in marvelous attire really stirred up the media and all the audience.both of them were wearing Chanel dresses and accessories: Blake looks classically beautiful with a black full-length Chanel skirt showing her nice feature, as well as a huge floral Chanel necklace to complete the perfect combination. While Diane dressed a dark blue fluffy Chanel short skirt attached with paillettes, which continued her usual princess style. So, my dear friends, it's time to dish. Serena or Helen, who do you think is the Best Dresser of Chanel in that night?
Claudia Schiffer is Back…
November and December mark the end of this year, and it's also the time of the fashion world forecasting the new faces of various brands in their Spring/Summer 2010. And some of the brands are too patient to wait to raise the curtain over. Earlier this month, the super model Claudia Schiffer has become the advertising spokesperson of Chanel for its new season collection.
Actually, Claudia had been selected by Karl Lagerfeld as the face of Chanel as soon as she was famous at the beginning. During the following twenty years, she has also kept a close relationship with Chanel, speaking for Chanel several times. Now she is back again as the usual career served foe Chanel, but appearing with more femininity. And from last week they started a long list of photography projects in Buenos Aires of Agentina, which were taken by Karl by himself.
The pictures show the gaucho round hat in Chanel's new season collection, as well as the tight dress made by ribbons which is the most anticipated clothes in Spring/Summer Collection.Let's keep our eyes open for the coming surprises!
Chanel Caesar Speaks…
Yes, Chanel always comes into views with the monochrome look, which we are indeed so familiar with. But, in such black and white, oh, that's really holy crap...
This full page is not something like legal papers, actually, is an open letter formed as an ad printed on the back oover of Women's Wear Daily. The content is as follows:
A Note of Information and Entreaty to Fashion Editors, Advertisers, Copywriters and Other Well-Intentioned Mis-Users of our Chanel Name:
Chanel was a designer, an extraordinary woman who made a timeless contribution to fashion.
Chanel is a perfume.
Chanel is modern elegance in couture, ready-to-wear, accessories, watches and fine jewelry.
Chanel is our registered trademark for fragrance, cosmetics, clothing, accessories and other lovely things.
Although our style is justly famous, a jacket is not “a Chanel jacket” unless it is ours, and somebody else’s cardigans are now “Chanel for now.”
And even if we’re flattered by such tributes to our fame as “Chanel-issime, Chanel-ed, Chanels and Chanl-ized,” PLEASE DONT. Our lawyers positively detest them.
We take our trademark seriously.
Merci,
Chanel, Inc.
Well, compared with what Louis Vuitton have done(accuse Google), the actions Chanel took seemed more gentle, but also less effecient. Haven't you known that "Villains can always outsmart"? Not to mention this is just an open letter, not the laws with force adeffect. And such a kind of situation is mostly due to Chanel's sky-high prices. Who would not like to have the real piece of Chanel, however, the cost closes the door on them. So the faithful customer have no choice but to ask the counterfeiters for help.
And for the copywriters, I think it's no need to treat them in so pretty harsh a way. “Chanel-issime, Chanel-ed, Chanels and Chanl-ized”, instead, can serve as a magic way to
do free propaganda for Chanel. According to the psychological perspectives, people would become more curious about the original version in that case. So I can not understand it why Chanel blamed them.
Finally, war on fakery of international brands is continuing, and much still remains to be done. Chanel only can pray...the Fashion Editors, Advertisers, Copywriters and Other Well-Intentioned Mis-Users could happenly spare some attention on this white paper as a warning...
