Does Chanel even do a mens line?

Not really but Karl L. developped it... he started in 2005, I think... and now he tries to make catwalking 5-6 men... wearing 2.55 big bags...
I love 2.55, but honestly if I see a man wearing it for real and not joking (I love women bags, but i joke with them...) I'm dying...

And what do you think of Hedi preparing for Chanel future???

Coco never did mensline but got inspired a lot by men (actually that's Karl excuses for doing menswear...), but you know Vuitton was first a luggage label... so... why not...
Hedi must s*** very well... or have a big d*** and a good f*** action...
(sorry about this joke i'm tired...)

Chanel doesn't even sound to be a mens name in the first place and the whole Chanel Homme sounds really really weird.

'Hey this looks nice. What is it?'
'It's Chanel omm..'
'WHAT! CHANEL? U ARE WEARING CHANEL?'

Here is what Chanel menswear look like...
it doesn't really need some help, but some styling help for sure...



FW 08

(one question : why can't I find pictures of Chanel before 2006... everything is deleted before...on style.com)

Karl's just slowly but surely moving this guy into place...if this isn't all just one big rumor. The mens side of things certainly needs help but then again Chanel shouldn't have menswear, there is no equality there, Chanel is woman, feminine. I would be much more excited to see what Slimane would do with the tweeds, bows, camelias, chains...

[BerlinRocks]

I hope that if he works on a mensline... il won't use the Chanel womenswear codes... I cannot imagine myself wearing camelias... NO WAY!!!
and for a reminder (again) : Coco used a lot of menswear to make her creations... so, why not... but no tweed jacket like the one I posted, and no 2.55... unless he makes them look less queer-intelligenzia... Karl made such a queer menswear...

Chanel has has perfume for men, next on the agenda will be a mens line for sure.

The only person that could boost the mens division is Hedi. It seems like a good fit.

i would love to see chanel homme by slimane..

[marsmars]

I thought the menswear for Chanel was just pretty much the "womens" in larger sizes?

Bringing Hedi in might be part of an effort to really establish Chanel's menswear. This is really exciting-- I think my bank accounts are going to take a beating in a few months.

[bryanboy]

omg.

hedi will TOTALLY kill chanel's legacy

[BerlinRocks]

and what if Hedi just be a consultant @ Chanel??? I think he always thought doing womenswear would be natural... so why not?!?!...

[monsieur_a]

i think this news is true.. karl really like hedi's designs...

[BerlinRocks]

well the problem is not really if it's true or not... the problem is to know what he will do overthere... I wanna call Chanel press offices since I learnt about this story...
