No time listed? I don't want to be late....How considerate of Karl to hold the show right across the street from our usual TFS Suite at the Ritz... B)

 

[Boomer]

^ Now we can't access the Pre Fall Thread??
No spy photos yet? Leaks, details, short films, tales from the fittings???

 

[sethii]

Oh yes I forgot that collections threads shouldn't be started without a clear photo of the show. Although personally I believe Karl's collections should be exempt from this rule, we need to appreciate everything - models, set, art, sketches, celebs, baptiste's hair - not only the fashion!

 

[purplethistle]

I agree, all those other things allow the fashion to be appreciated to its fullest extent

Hear Karl talking about the inspiration behind Chanel Byzantine collection. How embarrassing for the journalist not to have read the book!

^ And these people call themselves journalists!! I mean, who hasn't read up on Byzantine culture- they should never be let out of school, these incompetents!!

 

[Dkammern]

someone please give me the journalist's address and I'll send her a copy of this parchment and gold leaf book. I suppose you all got yours, no?

I have so many of them, I decided to make a coffee table with them. You know... a coffee table made out of coffee table books, hmmm? it's beyoooooooond!

 

[Boomer]

Of course she will have to go with a British designer, but...

Suggestions for Kate Middleton's Wedding Dress
Karl Lagerfeld suggests a Chanel take on “the Victorian wedding dress, with a twist — high boots and open in the front.”

Karl Lagerfeld Shills Volkswagens!

Karl Lagerfeld television network? Chic can dream. For now,we’ll settle for today's news that the Kaiser has indulged his thespian side...and shot a Volkswagen commercial. We couldn't make this stuff up! The playful spots directed by Johan Renck (the genius behind music videos for Madonna and Robbie Williams) will arrive on December 22 in Germany, and Karl reportedly plays himself.

A hideous dress.

The Royal Family would love it!

 

[ilaughead]

I suddenly want a Volkswagen...

 

[Boomer]

^ Well now that the Hummer is out of production and they are refusing to market the Chanel Cafe Racer motorcycle- it's the only choice! Although Karl did have a black Porsche SUV at one time...

 

[Dkammern]

Rolls Royce or NOTHING!!! i thought we were clear on that one!

 

[KKnardi]

yeah, the wedding dress is horrible... looks demode actually

 

[Boomer]

Well, a wedding dress by a German fashion designer for a French fashion house will never be seen on a British Princess anyway!!

 

[KKnardi]

^yeah that's true -

Range Rover for Karl !!!
