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 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!!!

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…

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?

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!

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…

Tattoo used to be considered as the taboo counter culture act in the past. Although it is no longer that disdainful it once was, it still resembles something grisly or uncomfortable. So I never thought tattoo could be elegant or chic until I watched the Chanel Spring/Summer 2010 show in Paris Week.

Have you noticed that in that show there is something different on some of the models? Yep, many small fake Chanel bracelets or stocking suspenders appeared on their wrists and legs. It’s said in fact, those fake Chanel accessories are tattoos(not permanent).

Those little chic chains are designed quite smartly, applied on the elegant models, which are really great useful in adding some dramatic finishing touch. All shaped in exquisite Chanel ornaments, they have changed our former views toward tattoo.

And—even better, for all the Chanel fanciers, this time you have no need to worry about the unbelievable price tagged on Chanel goods. Only with some temporary inks, you can catch up with the most trendy thing of Chanel Fashion House.

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.

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.

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…
