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 )

Chanel Fiole – Concept Car Design

Tags: , , , , , , , ,

chanel fiole concept 600x423 Chanel Fiole   Concept Car Design

Jinyoung Jo is a car designer at Hong-ik University in South Korea, and this is her creation: the Chanel Fiole concept. As with classic Coco Chanel work, the design of the car was centered on simplicity of lines and “the best of black and white.” As with most concepts, there was also an emphasis on airflow. The car seats three, two abreast and one staggered in between — but it’s probably best considered a sleek two-seater for runway types.

Chanel Mobile Art installation

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.

I cant say I had some deep connection to the Chanel Winter 2008/2009 Haute Couture Collection. Nothing quite hit the spot for me. But as always Karl Lagerfeld was able to deliver a beautiful rotating presentation at the Grand Palais in Paris.

Pre-Fall runway collections are becoming more and more the norm. Chanel showcased their Pre-Fall 2008 Collection this past Friday. The show was inspired by “English chic,” and the looks were something modern-day Victorian punk, mixed with Beatnik style hair and makeup.

Zac Posen also had his Pre-Fall 2008 collection as well, with a “poodle ballet” theme. His styles focused on comfort and ease. More known for his evening wear, his dresses are feminine and sweet

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.
