Chanel in Paris

hilarious..

 

[justinleaddict]

how odd.. I wonder what regular Chanel customers think of this..

 

[Couture_Tribe]

I don't know how to laugh at this one....

I agree with Lena, he is getting old, just an old designer who's trying to make things to suit young people's taste, but in fact, he is retired by the society already.

That is so not even cute. A bunch of them marching would make for a bad dream.

At least it was tweed.....

Interestingly enough, I was walking by the Chanel in Soho one morning and they were being put out, so they were all lined up on the floor, like a little army. I was like "what are those?" but just kept walking past b/c I was going to Balthazar.

OMG, I can see these lined up in the streets. So many possibilities. They look like a cross between Minnie Mouse and that pig Kermit dates...whats her name

Miss Piggy!

He can't redesign a BearBrick- that is the style of the toy. Anyway I wonder if they are for sale.

this is creepy! reminds me of karl when fat + mice ears

Oh this is perfect! For those of you that don't know he's using an existing mold made by a toy company called Bearbrick. They make a lot of limited edition "designer" toys and often invite various artists, illustrators, and designers to do their own. They don't usually tap into the fashion world for this though.

Miss Piggy!

Damn, it's soo simple too!

Anyways, I wouldn't mind owning one of these as long as they're not exorbantly expensive.

Isn't he mocking the rich plump socialites who are his most loyal customers in Asia?

that's what I am thinking about...

 

[JuiceMajor]

I wouldn't want it if it was given to me. Looks like a Mrs. Potatoes Head. No actually it looks just like Karl! Perhaps a caricature.

[stilettogirl84]

those are a bit creepy looking.

That's the weakest design I've ever seen on a be@rbrick. But Karl's not the only one who can't come up with something cool for a toy.

[drusilla]

They make for a quirky display, but I'd never pay for one.

 

[fouroclock]

Saw them in Toronto!
