It seems the truth that when someone is overly fond of something such as music, he/she would become picky on instruments. Don’t refute me now, just think of it. If you are a famous skilled pianoist, would you like to perform your wonderful music with an ordinary or even lame piano? I bet your answer is no. So it’s not surprising that every company is trying their best to make the top instruments with top look and quality.

And what I’m going to say is that Chanel dwell upon customer psychology already to “seizes every opportunity” the situation. Yep, Karl has been up to his tricks again…Inspired by the famous work of Picasso—The Man Playing Guitar, he designed the black and white versions of Chanel acoustic guitar and made it stand out in the Spring Summer 2009 collection. This luxurious guitar, which made from the spruce wood with a wide guitar strap in brown, black and white stripe embellished by the CC logo on the sound hole and leather detail, also comes with a quilted calfskin guitar case also available in black and white especially created by Karl. Right, totally amazing and fabulous charm of Chanel classic monochrome.

Can you guess out the price? Aha, please visualize it… Let me tell you—the guitar retails for $5450 and the guitar case for $11500. So I am wondering who will be the lucky dog( or unlucky fellow) using that guitar, and the price is possibly beyond the fee for showing up. And Karl Lagerfeld explains it: “Coco Chanel had an affair with Stravinsky, mine was with a guitar!” LOL…I could just see the Kaiser playing this guitar to wee Kaiser and singing him a German lullaby. I am waiting for the Chanel Harmonica.

Sweet cars and a beautiful wife are men’s biggest objective to struggle. So that’s why the Automobile Shows always employ many hot car models to attract more people, esp. men’s attention. And for women, the biggest dream is to jump on the pumpkin carriage and get married to the Prince Charming. And now, Chanel, smartly seizing the psychology of men and women, released a new Chanel Concept Car. Will you dare buy it or jump onto it?

Jinyoung Jo, a talented car designer at Hong-ik University in South Korea, is responsible to this Chanel Fiole concept car, branded with the name of the famed French luxury goods firm. As the former Chanel style, this design, also in classic monochrome charm, is “centered on simplicity of lines”. The coupe features a small interior with only three seats. The real icing on the cake, though, is the CC Chanel logo adorning the front grilleon and on the rims of the wheels. It is such a luxurious way to travel with this Chanel branded car and a space age appearance. There are no plans to manufacture just yet, otherwise I bet no matter how much does it cost, men and women will race to buy it. Because this Chanel Concept Car has satisfied all the desires and dreams of men and women. Just imagine going for a drive with this beauty, and it could make my blood tingle with no sweat…

Can you still remember the Coco Cocoon series by Lily Allen? I’m not playing the same old tune. For last time I just just scratched the surface, and as the vacation is approaching, it’s necessary to introduce some luxurious but functional at the same time bag to my dear friends, then this Chanel travelling bag came into my mind and was proposed again.

Continuing the Gabrielle Chanel’s design principle of “true luxury is when something is as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside”, this cocoon bag is crafted by nylon and lambskin, like the intimate touch of a cotton-padded overcoat, which offers you the best convenience. Revealing the signature quilting that Chanel is recognised for, it’s in concert with the classic Chanel 2.55 bag.

Needless to say, this puffy travelling bag can prove itself a functional Chanel by the appearance and the material. Suddenly I thought of Chen Qizhen Oshin and the chorus of “elopement to the moon”. As the lyrics saying”I want to leave the surface of earth, elope to the moon”, but don’t forget to take this Chanel Trolley to keep yourselves warm. Aha..

Recently I am so busy,even could not go to sport. Then I really miss the days in my campus life when I could do any kinds of sports in my spare time. But I bet most people often ignore one kind of sport–fishing. Actually, going wild fishing to feel the natural beauty is a wonderful way to relax. Coco Chanel was also a keen angler who honed her skills while dating the Duke of Westminster in the 20s.

Chanel, who lived at the Paris Ritz for more than 35 years, once struck up a conversation with the owner, Charles Ritz, about her inaugural fly fishing trip to the river Alta in Norway with the Duke. “Never having fished before, I was most anxious,” she admitted. “She need not have worried,” wrote Charles Ritz in his autobiography. “One of the Duke’s friends, who always joined him on the Alta, was a famous fly fisher. Coco explained her problems to him and received the soundest possible advice suggesting that she should draw inspiration from the sky. ‘When it’s clear and bright, tie on a Silver Doctor. When dark and overcast, use a Black Doctor’ … As a result, on several occasions she landed more salmon than His Grace.”

So with this background and the cash cow Karl Lagerfeld, there is not great surprise to the advent of this Chanel fly-fishing rod for $20,000. The Chanel rod is scrupulously tied with monochrome Chanel flies and renowned CC logo on its gossamer wings. The flying rod comes packed in a quilted black leather box. I really adore the CC logo hook, so cute and stylish. Karl, as expected, deserves to be called the commercial racketeer. To him, we all have a mix of love and hate. If you still ample cash flow, then you are fully capable of participation in some luxury goods consumption. At last, advance to wish all of you happy National Day and just go fishing with this stylish fly-fishing rod if you can.

In recent days, Karl Lagerfeld, who is regarded as the fashion guru by all the people, has become the hot-seating. I know he is always hot no matter when and no matter where, but this time his considerable fame doesn’t go to his documentaries or some new interview, instead, it owes to a simple plain white canvas bag carried by him very often.

What on earth does make this white canvas bag so different and popular? I think most of you have seen the Anya Hindmarch’s “I’m Not A Plastic Bag” or Longchamp’s ironic “It Bag”, then following in the footsteps of them, this simple white bag with painted print of “Karl Who?”, successfully has translated a whimsical sense of humor that is only so funny because it is so rhetorical.

By that token, questioning one’s own identity might just become the next trend! Karl Lagerfeld calls this next bag-hot-track: the psy bag. Like having a quiet, honest dialogue with yourself or a monologue, it’s part of emotional healing but it’s more than that. “I find it flattering,” Lagerfeld told WWD from the front row at Dior Homme yesterday. “Somebody offered one to me and now Colette has picked it up.”

The bag, designed by Naco-Paris, is not yet available online from the French boutique – but all eyes will be trained on the website for its Lagerfeld-approved release. The good news is that so far the “Karl Who?” t-shirt and tote are available as well, pretty fresh and funny.

The big fans of bigshot brands may be blessed. Those big fashion houses such as Chanel, Louis Vuitton have not been resigned to the fashion circle, then their feelers are touching upon the other fields. Check out these sweet “big brands”, what’s better than having to be able to both wear your favorite brand and eat it at the same time?

You may have seen those Chanel, LV, YSL, and Gucci lollipops by artist Massimo Gammacurta, now inspired by Massimo, the Swedish photographer Therese Aldgard and stylist Lisa Edsalv, the two created a fantastic line-up of cupcake sets. This series of hot dishes also include our familiar brands like Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Christian Louboutin. This degree of realism has never been seen before in a persistent world. They are really delightful and look yummy even something stylish.

Look at this chocolate cupcake embellished with white “pearls”. You can easily guess out it’s inspired by classical Chanel monochrome feature. While Louis Vuitton is designed to a chocolate frosting cupcake with red roses on top and Christian Louboutin is shaped an cupcake adorned with golden balls and cherries. Only this feast to the eye is enough for me, not to mention to purchase them. Nevertheless, I could not even bear eating anyone of them.

OK, if you regard me as the patriotic personage, I won’t oppose. Actually I just feel excited when thinking of the vacation of National Day. Therefore, anything related with flag, stars, or medals would stimulate my hidden fizz. This Chanel Russian History Jewel Symbols Boiled Clutch Bag then obviously came into my sight.

Available in two classical colors—black&white, thess adorned with jewels and symbols are the representatives of Russian history. This sophisticated classic handbag features the Chanel signature jewely symbols on the front flap. Crafted in smooth nappa leather, you can carry it with a long chain link strap. There are also a zip closure on top with a zip pocket for holding your mobile phone and a interior patch pocket as well to extend the space.

Jokingly speaking, maybe next time our Chinese bag manufactures can follow suit—that is to say—attach some metals with Chinese characteristics such as Chairman Mao’s portrait on the front to show the unique style and features of China. Ahahahahaha…

Clear-cut details and fit clipping crafted to a perfect degree, the modern trend blowing on the face, and unfolding the distinguished glamour but performing the style at the same time—this is the essence of the pragmatic fashion in current days. On the Fall/Winter 2009-2010 RTW runway, a multi-functional transparent bag by Chanel, which can hold the perfume, cosmetics, sunglasses, etc, is more and more dazzlingly brilliant and also has gained the reputation of the stylists.

There is no doubt that this chic is designed by the “bad boy” Karl Lagerfeld. I can’t help sucpecting that if without Karl or Chanel’s brand effect, this only printed one CC logo on the acrylic front transparent bag would still that popular? Aha, anyway, I really appreciate Karl’s creative inspiration not only in fashion but also in making more money…

Under the financial crisis, Karl smartly tooke the advantage of Chanel 2.55. Due to its timeless classic, this transparent bag, just by adding a 2.55 chain bag in the center and other Chanel designed daily needs surrounded, has became totally gorgeous and unique. Moreover, there is another characteristics contributing to the incomparable beauty is the Ipod. The ipod is a kind of walkman printed with a Chanel Logo. It’s said that just because Karl Lagerfeld has always been a preference Ipod, he was a person who alone has 300 units. What a big shot!!!

If you happen to be desirous to a transparent handbag, this transparent “package” of Chanel 2.55 is exactly your best choice. Although Coach has released a kind of transparent bag as well, I bet more people would apt to Chanel. Do you agree with me?

This Fall/Winter 2009 of Chanel collection has continued the Dandy Look childe style, but Dandy Look is honored for experienced collar and cuff. So it’s not easy to find the perfect bracelet to match with, thus 0n the design of the bracelet, Karl Lagerfeld continues his favourite magnificent Byzantine style.

Featuring the Maltese cross on the front of the bracelet, which is based on the relinquish adapted to in Crusades, which is a metaphorical of knightly virtues, such as patriotism, honesty, heroism, honor. Containing with so many meanings, it’s natural that it’s regarded as the symbol of nobleness.

The Maltese cross is differentiated from other cross designs in that the four arms of the cross are equal in length and they widen as they extend from the middle of the cross. The origin of this cross design was that shown on the back of the robes worn by the Knights Hospitallers – a religious and political order headquatered in Malta in the 11th century.

The original Chanel cross was designed by Verdura and was made of hand-poured glass. Mlle. Chanel’s later designs were inspired by early Persian and Egyptian jewelry. As an aside – Fulco di Verdura, designer of the Maltese Cross collection for Chanel, went on to open his own design house which is still thriving today.

Perhaps the designers don’t know the exact religious meaning behind this symbol, however, this simple figure with several pearls or crystals could turn to have a gorgeous and kingly glamour. It is undoubtedly a thousands years of classic.
