Karl Lagerfeld (July 2006 - March 2010)

[Boomer]

^ It's Lacroix...I just know it!!
The new movie is really something- surreal almost! But so nice to see everyone in it!! Steven Gan and Lady Amanda- Beyond! And Edita is ridiculously beautiful!! No more VS, Edita, it is below you- it has been decreed...

 

[ilaughead]

^I'm halfway through it now. It's so awful that I love it. A review coming when it's over.

Why was Chanel Prefall post deleted?

Edit: It's there again... (?)

Paris - Shanghai
a fantasy liveblog

-Didot? Really? Of all fonts to use...
SCENE
-Is this all going to be in French?
-AMANDA?! WHAT?!
-Amanda can't act.
-Did Amanda drop the magazine? Was she on the cover?
-Thank god Karl isn't going the Tom Ford route...
-Germaine's pretty. I wish I knew model names.
-Also thank god Amanda isn't a full-time actress. Stutnted Dialogue.
-Haha. Amanda doing her little lean to the left at 3:00.
-I hope Karl's just making fun of Coco, because some of this acting is rather overdone...
-Creepy stare at Amanda at 4:05.
-WHAT IS AMANDA'S TEABAG SECRET!? (Is it what I think it is?)
-I'll blame Amanda's lines at the end of this scene on Karl... People don't talk like that.
-Jane Schmitt has great legs.
SCENE
-Baptiste!? Freja!?
-Oh god. Which is worse, the acting or the script?
-Did Baptiste just say, "It's a ghost"?
-Again, Baptiste. "Do you design for men?" A little too excited.
-I love that there's an obligatory perfume ad thrown in.
-Are they speaking Mandarin? Seriously?
-Love the fourth-wall breakage at the end.
SCENE
-Heidi's acting skills are pretty adorable.
-Brad? You're back! Congratulations!
-Edita is pretty. I have no idea who she is other than this video and Paris-Moscou, but she's beautiful.
-Old Coco is back. What?
SCENE
-Stephan Gan. What?
-Edita is still pretty.
-Gardenia? Faux-pas, Heidi. Faux-pas.
-I wish I had some sense of Chinese history. No idea what happened. I'll just pretend that the train stopped and all of them needed off.
SCENE
-Jake Davies!
-Amanda's much better in this scene. Boomer, you have no chance unless you're Asian, apparently. WHAT TRICKS!? TELL ME, MS. HARLECH.
-1923? Really? Let's tell, not show, shall we?
-Freja's back. Still pretty. Ah! She's a prostitute now! "I want it."
-I love the guy in the wall peep hole.
-BAPTISTE! Emperor of China? Awesome.
-AMANDA! How did I know you'd be in this scene. Good job hamming up the lines as much as possible.
-Wait, so Baptiste isn't the Emperor? Confused.
-COLOR! Not cliché at all...

quite a lot of negativity at the collections thread, so I've come back here.
I like it Karl! anything you do!
repetitive maybe but that just means it's great as usual, no?

 

[Boomer]

^ Yes- as I said over there- you can never judge his collections until the good videos (it said Chanel.com will have them on the 4th or 5th, BTW...) and the UHQs are out...I didn't like London or Moscow until I could study them and see the accessories and so on...And it may be a bit repetitious; it's his fourth collection in a little over five months...could be... (I mean even Lindsay Lohan couldn't do better than that!!)

-Amanda's much better in this scene. Boomer, you have no chance unless you're Asian, apparently. WHAT TRICKS!? TELL ME, MS. HARLECH.

No, I'm very WASPy...I'll bring the Jag- she's British, we will get along... B)

^^is that Baptiste really standing on the black-carpet runway?
-why does he look scarily like he's been photoshopped into the place when in fact he did walk on the runway...

 

[Boomer]

^ Several of the shots look like processed studio pictures overlaid onto the runway and skyline...I think the lighting was way off and dark- I wouldn't be surprised if the offical Chanel pictures may be a lot of studio pictures... B)

 

[sethii]

Is this news? Karl says the next Paris-(insert city) collection may be Paris-Istanbul.

 

[NakedIfIWantTo]

Karl says maybe? what a teaser he is.

 

[Boomer]

^ Sounds good...Trump is working on a huge project there, lots happening in Istanbul!! Announcement of huge new Chanel store to follow, I imagine... B)

[Boomer]

^ Thanks! I am so glad to see Vanessa Paradis back!
The third picture- who is the guy with the open white shirt walking behind Karl? He is always around, and I have no idea who he is...

 

[sethii]

He would be the brains of Karl's 'Battalions of Beauty' no? Basically...I have no idea who he is

Is Karl an Elvis fan? Or did their hair stylist not see to Baptiste?

 

[Boomer]

^ He's just a Hunk-a-Hunka Burnin' Love...

Do I see Sebastien in a three piece suit with a tie!!?? Why weren't any of the other guys in the show??

Chanel Paris-Shanghai Press Conference.
(I try to translate his little grunts too )

Journalist: Which Chinese designers have you heard of?

Karl: Honestly I don't know, ah. I know Alexander Wang but he doesn't count right, he is in New York. Chinese designers should come to us more and publicise themselves - you see how I come to China, uh.

Journalist: After Paris-Shanghai collection, the next collection will be Paris-what?

Karl: Possibly Paris-Istanbul

Journalist: Do you like Chinese food, and Chinese tea?

Karl: There is too much meat in Chinese food, I rarely eat it. But French food too, I don't particularly eat it, I don't particularly eat anything....only healthy vegetables. In order to maintain my figure I must strictly control what I eat and drink!
