In this sensitively-scored video from Paris Fashion Week, designer Karl Lagerfeld discusses Chanel’s new “global cooling” inspired collection and the “triumph of fake fur” as models splish-splash down the runway. Although PETA still refers to him as the “notorious fur pimp,” they did acknowledged his endorsement and quoted him: “You cannot fake chic, but you can be chic in fake fur.”
Demonstrating that streetwear isn’t the only fashion subset with a predilection for cartoons, couture designer Karl Lagerfeld made over SpongeBob SquarePants in his own image, raising $1500 to save some animals. |WWD|
To commemorate the 125th anniversary marking the birth of French Haute couture pioneer Coco Chanel, head designer honcho Karl Lagerfeld created these limited edition five Euro coins—when the economy sucks print your own money! They feature an image of Coco on the front with Karl’s signature underneath and the high fashion brand’s “quilted leather pattern on the back.” Only 99 of the gold versions were struck by the French mint and will be exclusively available in Chanel stores—the rest of you coin collecting fashionistas will have to settle on the silver ones. |Sybarites|
