Vanessa Paradis keeps it strong with Chanel handbags ad campaign.

An as usual scathing Karl Lagerfeld replies to Interview Vanity of May 2010 issue of French Elle.
Below some pearls. Bitting and funny as only Karl knows how to do it.

I had the privilege to visit Mademoiselle Chanel’s apartment at Rue Cambon, Paris above the principal luxury store. I was glad to make it. Though the store and fitting room are known, the apartment itself is hardly opened to mass.

I guess this Chanel Couture dress is my favorite. The champagne body & silver flowers mixmatch is amazing on Parker’s skin tone.

For the fourth time, Vanessa Paradis teams up with Chanel as the face of one collection. This time, it’s about the upcoming Chanel lipstick line due to release by March 2010.

The first time was in 1992 as the face of the perfume Coco.

Chanel has chosen Vanessa Paradis as the face of its upcoming long lasting moisturizing lipstick line. Rouge Coco Hydrating Creme Lip Color collection will launch in March 2010.

I never saw the new Chanel n°5 new ad while I was living on March in the past 5 months. Audrey Tautou is the new face of the famous perfume. She follows Nicole Kidman 5-year-as-égérie. Audrey Tautou is a French actress famed since her breakthrough role as Amélie in Le fabuleux destion d’Amélie Poulain or Amélie (international title). Her appointment as Chanel n°5 spokesmodel comes with her role as Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel in Coco Avant Chanel or Coco before Chanel (international title).

I know I just wept about my dying Mac and how I would be unable to write over its resuscitation week. I am hijacking a 24” iMac, which is a dream compared to my 15” MBP.

It seems that fashion tsar Karl Lagerfeld is no kinder than Anna Wintour with fat people. It’s not a surprise, but it’s funny to point it out.
