Chanel - Cruise Collection 2013 - Full Fashion Show

Uncle Karl and his house of Chanel presented a badass mash-up of eighteenth century French aristocracy and modern punk rock n' roll style for the cruise collection at Versailles this week. We love the idea of taking couture and mixing them with contemporary urban elements. The classic Chanel suit mixed with trainers and a baroque wig? Yes plz. We'll have that for cocktails soon. We can't wait to see what this will look like in the shops and on the buyers. NICE usage of the music too - our fave Swede rapper Gnucci Banana and also Crookers to name but a few. Sweet! Watch the full show below + an interview with the man with a plan - Karl Lagerfeld.

Chanel - The Tale of a Fairy by Karl Lagerfeld (Chanel Cruise 2012)

For Chanel's cruise collection 2011/2012 Uncle Karl has created The Tale of a Fairy - a short film featuring acting performances by the A-list of models. Kristen McMenamy, Freja Beha Erichsen and Baptiste Giabiconi to mention but a few. Set in the south of France it tells the story of violence and luxury. Models who act? Believe it! Now, we're thinking this film is supposed to sell the idea of Chanel's cruise collection + the idea of luxury. We're not quite sure it hits the target, quite the opposite we'd say. Have a look! It had it's premiere this week at the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc at the Cap d’Antibes, France.

Check out Chanel's exquisite haute couture show courtesy of Uncle Karl. We cannot get enough of that lion! Baptiste Giabiconi was working it as per usual. Loves it when he removes the lion head and flicks his hair back. Sex!

Chanel - Fall/Winter 2010/2011 - Full Show

Chanel goes yeti chic for Fall 2010 during Paris Fashion Week. Paris-Siberia is the name of the new collection from Uncle Karl and displays what you would wear in a cold remote place, while still maintaining your chicness. The fur is supposedly fake which we thank the heavens for. Watch the show below and check out all the furry moon boots, fur trousers and fur skirts. On a side note: the ice berg in the back is a 256 ton one imported from the northern part of Sweden all the way to Grand Palais.
