Here is in Exclusivity ( should be released tomorrow: here ) the New commercial called ” Train de Nuit” ( night train ) featuring the New Coco Chanel French actress Audrey Tautou. Directed by Jean Pierre Jeunet (Amelie, Alien 4), the commercial was shot in the famous Orient Express. I love the mix of old movie feeling and new technology with the beautiful Leica M8. Chanel N5 commercial are always wonderful… like the 3 min movie or the infamous one with Estella Warren ( see below little interview and making of )

Jinyoung Jo is a car designer at Hong-ik University in South Korea, and this is her creation: the Chanel Fiole concept.

Chanel Mobile Art installation
In 1955 Madame Coco Chanel launched the iconic, quilted ‘it’ bag 2.55. Now, fifty-three years later, Chanel have decided to make the bag the center of attention once again, namely the center of a traveling exhibition entitled Chanel Mobile Art. Twenty international contemporary artists have reinterpreted the classic Chanel hand bag and designed everything from a gold quilted guitar-shaped shoulder bag to a giant 2.55 lying thrown on the floor. The exhibition opened in Hong Kong in a futuristic, curved glass pavillion designed by Zaha Hadid, which was the first stop of a two-year world tour, where the artists have smoothened the fine lines between fashion design and art. “We don’t need art, but we cannot live without it,” said Karl Lagerfeld at the opening of Chanel’s Mobile Art pavilion in New York City’s Central Park. The exhibition will move on to cities like London, Moscow and Paris.

Vintage Chanel Quilted Backpack
As much as we want ( some may say need) those shoes or purses, the reality is that for some of us we can’t always have every fashion accessory we may think we need. The clever people at Bag Borrow or Steal found a way to give people the opportunity to own/borrow these items!

Right now is the time to indulge in the extra-small purse. Realistically, nothing will really fit inside except an ID, a credit card, and chapstick. However, they are too cute to pass up. The teeny purse is perfect to accent any outfit, or to wear alongside your over-sized purse.
