As you know, us Digitalistas are all into stripes lately…No wonder that we would be thrilled to find this striped cashmere Chanel scarf under the Christmas tree!
So please Dear Santa, we’ve been good girls all year. And we have made clear that we are big Chanel fans, so what about a little recompensation for these sweet Digitalistas? You won’t be sorry!
Why do Baptiste Giabiconi and Lara Stone get to rob Chanel stores and stay unpunished? It ain’t fair! But fun to look at.
Karl Lagerfeld directed this short film named ‘Vol de Jour’ (Theft of the day, TD). It’s like a modern version of Bonnie & Clyde, but robbing Chanel stores instead of banks.
Start collecting all your change, bring back all the unnecessary clothes you purchased lately, or even better, go stand in front of your local supermarket with a cardboard strapped around your neck with the text: ‘Help me buy a real Chanel‘.
On February 25th and 26th 2010 auction house Million Cornette de StCyr (assisted by the Chonbert and Sternbach cabinet) will auction about 600 Chanel pieces, consisting of Haute Couture, pret-a-porter, accessories, jewelry and leather goods. From vintage to recent.
We wrote about it a while ago: The Gospel According to Coco Chanel: Life Lessons from the World’s Most Elegant Woman. Digitalista E. ordered it a few months ago. And what did she find in her mailbox last week? Yes, this cute little book about Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel.
If Chanel is also one of your favorite brands, you are gonna be happy with this news: The Chanel Magazine. Actually it is called 31 Rue Cambon, named after Coco Chanel’s iconic Parisian appartment . It was Art Directed and designed by Olivier Zahn (the editor of Purple), and will be distributed in Chanel stores worldwide.
Digitalista E. had a dream. A very funny one. Starring: Karl Lagerfeld, a Chanel suit and her dead grandma…
Ever wondered why the split between the teeth of Lara Stone suddenly became a charming beauty-flaw? She wasn’t the first designer-muse with that special mark. A long time ago some girl just popped out of nothing singing a song called ‘Joe le Taxi’. Her name was Vanessa Paradis. Not a striking beauty, but a particular little bird with a good bonestructure and a split between her teeth. Then the bird got caged by Jean Paul Goude to promote the Coco Chanel fragrance. In 2003 she promoted the collection of Chanel Cambon bags, and now this succesful singer, mother, actress and wife of Johnny Depp will show off her typical smile to promote ‘les rouges’ Chanel: the gorgeous red lipsticks of the brand.
I honestly believe that I’m the reincarnation of Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel. She really is my ultimate style icon. After I watched the movie ‘Coco before Chanel‘ it was for sure: the independent and self-made girl who stayed true to her own style really made me love her. And after some searching at the world wide web I found a new book about her: ‘The Gospel According to Coco Chanel: Life Lessons from the World’s Most Elegant Woman‘.
Maybe I’m a boring girl, sitting her whole weekend behind her tv, watching some dvd’s while Digitalista M. and K. are present on some kind of fashion party. But I can’t help it. My back hurts! So what to do when you can’t walk in high heels or put on some nice little black dress (because I honestly can’t stretch my back). Well, watch some fashion documentaries. And I have a lot!
Hatsjooooehhh! No, it’s not a case of hayfever. It’s just Chanel taking us to the farm. The decor of this season’s show was a barn filled with hay bales in which Karl’s new male muse, Baptiste Giabiconi, fooled around with models like Lara Stone and Freja Beja Erichsen… Even some celebrities made their appareance à la ferme Chanel: Rihanna, Prince and Claudia Schiffer.
