New Chanel face
Chanel and Karl Lagerfeld just chose the new face for the brand and I couldn't be happier. Blake Lively, the star of Gossip Girl, was in Paris shooting the new advertising campaign that will be launch next year.
Besides her success as Serena in Gossip Girl, she's now a fashion icon, front row girl in most of the fashion shows, has an amazing body (specially her boobs and legs) and also she's been on the cover of Vogue twice and a third time in the cover of the "best dressed" issue. She's one of Anna Wintour's friend, they both attended to the Chanel couture show in Paris and this might be one of the reason why she's gonna be on the new ad campaign.
She's like my number one crush right one and I think she fits perfectly for Chanel, I guess she's gonna look like a blonde version of Daria Werbowy. Sometimes I hate watching some celebrities on fashion ad campaigns (like Angelina Jolie or Lily Allen), but Blake is Blake and no one will be like her. So I can't wait to see this ads! Anxiety attack 'til I see the first photo of her wearing Chanel from head to toes.

Chanel Pre-Fall 2010
Menswear fashion weeks are starting now, plus the Resort collections, plus pre-fall. And I found this ad campaign from Chanel Pre-Fall 2010 and I thoight I should share it. It's not beyond anything we've seen, but Lagerfeld makes an amazing job as a designer and also his photography skills are great.
Simple, yet beautiful. A classic collection from Karl, presented in Shangai, where the city played a leading role. Presented in Huanpu River, with an amazing skyline on the back, that was the "set". Inspired by the city, the clothes has the Chanel signature all over, giving this time a twist with the accesories and also with the details on the clothes, bringing this country legacy and culture into fashion. This collection and ad campaign was inspired by "Paris-Shangai: A fantasy", a movie directed by Lagerfeld telling stories about Gabrielle Chanel and her visits to Shangai, where she experienced with different people and situations, of course Baptiste Giabiconi acts.
Other than being a special presentation, this Paris-Shangai thing is an answer to the giant power that China has over the world and of course if you want to be someone, you gotta go where the money is and this country has helped Chanel to grow as a brand. A sample of the success of the house is the majority of the audience dressed in Chanel from top to toe, the opening of a new store and this one been packed with people since they opened.

Chanel Haute Couture Spring 2010
So it's time for a little couture update. All of the shows were last week in Paris and as far as I have seen, there were good, as most of the times, but unfortunately we miss one of the star from couture: Christian Lacroix. It was always thrilling to see what he would do for his next show and it's quite a shame that he's not around anymore. Hopefully he'll get things straight and get a buyer and start showing his amazing creations sometime...
Chanel presented on January 26th a collection different from what we are used to see. There were no black, no navy, no gold buttons. As Sarah Mower said "it was a mix of romanticism, space age, and incredible eye-tricking handwork—as hard to fix in one place as the mercury that seemed to be running through the seams. The clothes ranged from shorts suits to shifts, from frothy, cocooning bubbles to liquid to gas. In some places, the embroideries looked like smashed glass or molten metal (...)"
Karl Lagerfeld has given Chanel (in the past six seasons) a new look, experimenting with new color, leaving gold behind and admitting that silver's the new gold. Many people critized this, because they expect from Chanel something that "screams" CHANEL from everywhere you see it, the regular tweed suit and the classic 2.55.

But for me, this collection has a Chanel trademark, not the one that we're used to see, but it has it. It has the materials, the accesories, the rococo heels, the classic/modern look and of course the craftsmanship.
Lagerfeld was acclaimed by the fashion press because "with all the beads, bows and jewels in Paris at your disposal it takes a disciplined designer to use them judiciously".

Clasic Chanel suit but now paired with short and with metallic fabric.
Amazing draping and also the molten metal effect.
Chiffon cut so thin and in so many layers that looks like fur.
An amazing made out 13.000 flowers ♥
La marieé! The cape she's wearing was made with 200 meters of tulle and silk and took 1300 to be made.
Shoes ♥
