There are so many terrible, terrible things happening in the world, there isn't very much we can all do about it. Should we all just be unhappy about everything? Cause there's war in the world?

I'm afraid to say that she's not being sarcastic

Creative can you confirm?

[carmen_kass]

^Creative already said he was speculating lol. It shoudln't be too long now, some February magazines have already started to come out.

I think it would be brilliant if all ads were like this! That would definitely make Chanel stand out among all other campaigns, and it looks very beautiful.

I wasn't going to reply and kind of just leave it at that because I wanted it to end there (not derail the thread) and, even taking language barriers into consideration, I figured that the fact that I asked kevinn to PM me if the other countries were having "sample sales wars" was pretty much a neon-flashing signal that I wasn't being serious. (Or the fact that anyone would jump off a cliff over some darn model casting ad. OR the implication that the entire Chanel empire would collapse if Sasha wasn't its face. OR the fact that in the first suicide post I typed "Ha Ha! Joke". OR the fact that I described the post as being "stupidly melodramatic and over-the-top".)

But since you took it upon yourself to become my spokesperson without contacting me first -- you're fired btw without compensation or paid leave -- yes...I was being sarcastic . We're still allowed to do that during war time, right?

Back to waiting for Chanel!

Edit: My bad for not getting the ANTM reference. The "war" reply did sound very beauty pageant .

I think the model will be someone very unexpected, not sasha or heidi etc. there's just this sense of tease and curiosity in this whole thing, and it's even more weird that they published this first image very early and right after the campaign was shot. overall it's just like they would want people to speculate about the campaign.

oh man, i REALLY hope it isn't going to be some actress...

jerry hall

[Bengt]

^ really?!

[maffam]

^jerry hall will be in an upcoming chanel campaign with a younger male model, but it is not the ss09 campaign. here is the story from wwd:

HALL MARK: Karl Lagerfeld is weaving a literary tale for a forthcoming Chanel handbag campaign, inspired by Colette’s “Chéri,” the novel about a young man and his relationship with a woman almost twice his age. And he cast none other than Jerry Hall in the latter role, with model Baptiste Giabiconi, fresh from his appearance in Lagerfeld’s mini film for Chanel’s Paris-Moscow show, seeking her affections on a bed strewn with a quilt — and a quilted bag.

hahaha.. interesting ad..

[masquerade]

I hope we never know who the model is

[vogue28]

^ I was thinking that too..
on chanel.com there is a set of pictures and the model is hidden. The models are also hidden in the Cruise 2009 catalogue..
