And WWD has some more information on it, including that one of the locations will be Marie Antoinette's theater at Versailles. Could it get any better!?

 

[Dkammern]

^^yes it could! as boomer here was pointing out: make sure lara is there too and it'll be a lot better!!

 

[NakedIfIWantTo]

ahah 3 options, I guess I'll go with number 3 too.

^for a more contemporary Karl: visit this site for the signe chanel series (much better quality than youtube). part 1, 2. every wednesday a new one.

 

[Boomer]

Well I should never doubt him...When they said he was going to do ads with Lily Allen I thought- Yuk!! But...as usual, he knows best..They just did another shoot for a campaign, and look at her!! I wouldn't even recognize her, she looks so great!! Forgive me Master, for I have doubted thee... And of course Baptiste makes his usual appearance as well...B)

[NakedIfIWantTo]

wow, magical. Which campaign is this?

 

[Boomer]

^ I don't know- but there are cool clothes and I don't see any jewlery, watches, bags, sunglasses or shoes, so...

 

[KKnardi]

I think it's for an editorial or something.

 

[NakedIfIWantTo]

just wondering, has Karl ever modeled for any Chanel campaigns? by himself?

 

[b9409]

I don't think so.

He has modeled for his signature fragrance line lately. But other than the occasional 'promotional' PR photos etc., I never remember him posing particularly for a seasonal campaign.

So for those of you that haven't seen, there's a thread on that Loic Prigent series "The Day Before" and the first episode was Fendi. I just started watching it, but here's an awesome quote from Karl about his entourage.

"Battalions of beauty! I stole it from Catherine de Medicis. She had a bevy of young girls behind her. I take young men."

 

[KKnardi]

^yeah I saw that! battalions of beauty!!! lady amanda h is really funny also. loves it!

what a wonderful little documentary!

It made me appreciate karl even more, the documentary shows a humble and slightly different karl. maybe because it's milan/italy that he let loose a bit?

 

[NakedIfIWantTo]

I take young men.

 

[Ievut]

Who exactly are his batallion of beauty? I recognised Baptiste, but who is the other one?!

 

[Boomer]

^ Well the usual crew- Sebastien, Brad Davis, occasionally Brad Koenig...And of course my crew- Virginie and Lady Amanda- he can hang with the boys, I'll be happy to have lunch with the girls!... B)

NOTE: sorry for the karl-atheism... i don't know what's wrong with me... just a weird day, i promise... i think i'm just mad because he only does like 10 shows a year...

OMG OMG!!! Karma!

 

[Boomer]

sorry for the karl-atheism...

Yes, young Skywalker- you have no idea the power of the Force!! B)

Four more weeks until Ready to Wear? At least we have the Karl/Fendi documentery on Friday to look forward to...
