Chanel Black Flap Bag with Paris Venise Lions CC Signature is one of the Chanel Spring Summer 2010 Handbag Pre Collection.This bag is attractive in its Paris Venise Lions CC signature and the shining light of its patent leather.

Each Chanel bag has a special story behind it, and this Chanel black flap bag is no exception. That is what I have been looking for-a bag that is elegant, beautiful, functional and decent. I think this bag’s story must be related with its Paris Venise Lions CC signature, which makes it unique from other Chanel bags.

Its Paris Venise Lions CC signature may have something to do with the maritime city of Venice, the capital of Veneto, Italy, for the Venice flag has a red lion on it , and that is a winged lion which is the apostle’s traditional symbol, later became the logo of Venice. There is a long story for the city of Venice, and thus I don’t mention it here.

Chanel fashion house has released its Chanel Spring/Summer Handbag 2010 Pre-collection for a long time, and it is possible that you have seen some of them carried by others or displayed on shop. And here I just want to introduce a simple but classica Chanel rubber effect python signature tote.

Classic Chanel Rubbber Effect Python Signature Tote is one of the Chanel Spring/Summer Handbag 2010 Pre-collection. Though it is black, it looks simple but actually classic.and its color has a edgy, modern quality that the brand’s bags have lacked over the past season.

Chanel use the exotic black to greater effect than the other major designers. and the python could give one feel luxurious. Its texture is rubberized and has a matte effect, which is a great change from the python that I always see.

However, personally, I do not like those bags which are made up from exotic materials, and even though the bags have exotic designs and not exotic makes, I still do not like it. I just want the glossy structure of the bags which make me feel comfortable, not those scaly ones. And thus I do not favor those bags made by real croc skin and snake skin leather or faux.

In Shanghai on December 3rd, Karl Lagerfeld launched his 8th edition of this collection, called “Paris Shanghai”. He has never been to Shanghai, but only by his thinking and hearing from others, he designed this collection.

The film “PARIS SHANGHAI, A FANTASY”, as a prelude to the show, tells the story of Coco Chanel’s dreaming travel to China. It was written and directed by Karl Lagerfeld. This handbag collection shows us the great skill of Partisans and the Chanel ateliers to make a true French luxury.

I like the Chinese doll clutch in enamel, which is so Chinese that rekindle the memories of my previous visits to Shanghai. And the authentic Chinese pieces are the flap bags which are a real classic one on its sparking sequins and colors. The shiny and anything red sequined classic flap bags are especially made in honor of Chinese New Year and perfect for this celebration.

Shanghai is a big prosperous city in China like other cities, but it seems to be a little different in the heart of the world people, its magic place lies in the combination of the modern elements with traditional ones. And thus Chanel has recently inaugurated its 3rd point of sale in continental China.

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…

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!!!

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…

“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?

Chanel Caesar Speaks…

   Posted by: stefaniewhite Tags: , , ,

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…

Lily Allen Mannequin for Chanel

   Posted by: stefaniewhite Tags: , ,

lily-allen-chanel-mannequin-coco-cocoon

I know Karl Lagerfeld is really into Lily Allen recently, who has been the new face of Chanel Coccon Bags Collection. But I never thought Karl had been that addicted to the glamour of Lily Allen so that offer some place for her to appear in Chanel Boutique on East 57th Street in New York.

 4026416759_b5a4fd0351_o

Wow, Lily Allen is over the moon, so awesome!!! As one of the Karl Ladies, Lily has been raised up like God. I used to think that if Chanel Boutique needs a mannequin for its shopwindow, the original person would be Coco Chanel herself or Karl Lagerfeld, even someone who has made the great contribution to its fashion career. However, the final option took everyone by surprise, now the mannequin standing elegantly and proudly in the shopwindow is nobody but Lily Allen.

Well, whether you are convinced it or not, Lily Allen has proved herself by action to tell those people who has criticized her since she had the ads compaign for Chanel Cocoon Bags Collection: she is the Deep-Fried Chicken of Chanel at the moment. You love her or hate her, that is nothing related with her coming to the top.

4027170312_165b876dcc_o

 

Additionally, the other things along with the Lily Allen Mannequin in Chanel’s shopwindow are the series of cocoon bags. Tsktsk…I do envy her so much…
