I am utterly offended boomer! I've posted this interview here at least four times!!! Don't you read my posts!?

(you see, I do it every few months but because karl always says the same in interviews, nobody notices!)

 

[Boomer]

Ah...I thought one or two things sounded familiar...So much for the Guardian reviewing magazine pieces from months before- they are Demode, they bore me...But I still made wall plaques of some of the quotes...B)

That pic of him with Bar, do you think he mistook her for Blake? I mean, she's all boobs and leg and head tilt poses, easy mistake to make Actually I'm pleased to see the surgery went well and he has now had Blake properly removed from his hip. Also no Baptise at the Amfar gala? What's going on! I have to say though, that as badly acted as much of the new film is I do want to be in that world, though I think Jake Davies has something to do with that, not just the clothes!

the guardian is such a mainstream paper... of course they're behind.

Somehow I managed to answer your post in another thread Kknardi

Any word on date/location for the HC Show in July??
The latest: Get ya Paws (and your credit cards) UP!!B)

Chanel's brand new line of handbags has violent origins – hunting for sport.

The house's creative director Karl Lagerfeld has announced the new collection will draw inspiration from an androgynous style based on a hunter's cartridge that founder Coco Chanel used to wear.

The brand's logo is stamped in relief into the bottom of the bags.

"Chanel used men's underwear to make dresses," Lagerfeld explained. "She had this boyish attitude, in fact it is the very spirit of Chanel. She got it from Boy Capel, the great love of her life.”

The new line will consequently be called Boy.

Chanel HC in July, yes?? Any info yet??

 

[KKnardi]

^I hope it's something spectacular this time around, last collection bored me...

 

[Dkammern]

As long as it takes place at the Grand Palais, I am satisfied.
But you just never know... I think there's a big Anish Kapoor thing inside the Grand Palais, so it may be the Capucines Pavilion again


(anyway, I'm calling le Ritz tomorrow to make sure we've gout "our" suite reserved. I guess it will be all of "us" one more year, right? RSVP ASAP )

 

[KKnardi]

no, nothing else than garnd palais will do, I want a big fat lion or some other creature in the middle and everything...

 

[Boomer]

^ I don't know- but Blake Lively and I may stay at Karl's apartment instead- we hate the constant prying into our personal lives (and Anna Mouglalis can be so jealous, poor girl)...B)
They should have word out soon for the date...

The Kapoor thing ends at the end of June, and it's an annual thing so I bet Chanel has the next slot every year?

And please GOD don't let him show at the Pavilion Cambon Capucines again.

 

[Dkammern]

Thank you! I will sleep much better knowing that it's over in June!!
You know, they could use the sculpture as the set for the show. It's MASSIVE!
But of course it is absolutely required that they remove it in june, and build it again for the show in July. Spending money in venues is what Karl does best, isnt it?

 

[ilaughead]

^Naturally! In fact I can see Karl supervising a copy done in white and made to look a little more like a string of pearls!

 

[ilaughead]

Chanel's at the Grand Palais at 10PM on the 28th. This sounds lovely.

 

[Boomer]

^ At night in three weeks!!? Beyond!! B)

 

[Dkammern]

This reminds me of the couture that was staged at sunset and everyone started saying it was Karl's goodbye!
Karl, retiring? that's probably the only word in the dictionary he doesn't know the meaning of!
