The first pics of Lily Allen’s Chanel campaign have finally hit the web – As for the Chanel ads, the black and white shots show Lily looking distinctly Lagerfeld-like, wearing the designer’s signature monochrome hues, fingerless gloves and neat tailoring. Her hair is styled into a neat chignon, and in two shots is adorned with towering tiaras. It was shot by Karl for a new Chanel handbag line, Chanel Coco Cocoon which is slated to launch in October 2009 – See also the Latest fashion editorial of Lily Allen for ID Magazine on Paper Mode

For the 5th day of our WAD Marathon I would like to feature an editorial praising the style and character of Karl Lagerfeld, entitled K as in Karl. Lagerfeld’s style has become an iconic style reference. So much that even his peer, designer Roberto Cavalli came dressed as Lagerfeld for last years Halloween Ball in New York. They did a great job on the casting and styling of this shoot, each character looks like a reincarnation of Lagerfeld. Lovely!
Stay tuned for more of the WAD Marathon as we make our way to Day 6.

Laetitia Crahay, Chanel’s brilliant accessories designer really outdid all expectations with this roundup.

For the occasion of the 125th anniversary of Coco Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld designed a special 5 Euro coin. The coin features both a portrait of Coco Chanel and lots of other trademark graphics of the brand. The 5 Euro coin was chosen, as it is a good match with the Chanel No. 5 fragrance.

The first and only still shot released from the filming of the Coco Chanel movie : Coco Avant Chanel starring Audrey Tautou was released last week.

Catherine Leterrier is designing the costumes with Karl Lagerfeld’s oversight.
