There were lots of rumors about Lily Allen and the fact she was going to become the face of new Chanel bag collection. And now we know for sure that this is absolutely true and the British songbird will represent the world famous brand.

The new Chanel ad campaign is set to be released in October 2009 with Miss Allen looking like a princess.

Lily has been chosen by Karl Lagerfeld because “She’s fun.”

Chanel has always picked only the best and thus Lily might be feeling very privileged as her name is included into the list that already has big names like Nicole Kidman, Audrey Tatou, Kiera Knightley, and Kate Moss.

To tell you the truth, I’m getting tired of writing that actors and singers turn designers. I have nothing against them personally but do they really believe everyone can be a designer? Well, I don’t…

Now Emma Watson announced she wants to launch her own fashion line.

It’s not much surprising since the girl felt the taste of fashion fame being a model for Burberry and Chanel.

Of course now acting cannot satisfy her multiple interests and she wants more. Well, let’s see what will come out.

The clothing line will be designed especially for teenagers and what’s good and noble is that Emma won’t keep the money to herself. All the proceeds will go to the children’s charity UNICEF.

The line is promised to be interesting because Emma has been “getting advice from her fashion designer pals like Karl Lagerfeld.”

Great news for those who don’t like seeing zero-size models on the covers of glossy magazines and catwalks! It is now Alexandra Shulman, Vogue editor, who has joined the fight against size zero.

The woman has confessed she is often forced to retouch photos of skinny models before they go the print. According to the editor designers are sending out samples of clothes which are too small for most healthy models. So, she considers it’s high time size zero trend ended.

She wrote a letter to the top designer houses informing them that Vogue readers don’t like seeing photos in the magazine or girls “with jutting bones and no breasts or hips”. Besides, she asked fashion houses to take action.

During the time I have been at Vogue, the sample sizes that models are required to war have become substantially smaller,” Shulman wrote.

We have now reached a point where many of the sample sizes don’t comfortably fit even the established star models.”

I am often having to run headshots on the cover, rather than images where you can see clothes, because my readers are uncomfortable with the size of the models when seen full length.”

The letter was sent to Prada, Versace, Yves Saint Laurent and Chanel.

If Vogue have spoken out against the use of size zero models we can hope other fashion magazines will follow the example and this ridiculous, and dangerous, trend will be put to an end finally.

Karl Lagerfeld has literally surpassed himself with the Resort collection 2010. Lots of wonderful and absolutely chic designs, extravagant styles and extreme shapes – all this is about the line you see at the pics below.

A cruise show was held in Venice, Italy, symbolizing the return to Coco Chanel times when she used to visit this city ten years in succession.

The show started when the sun was about to set, gentle waves were rolling in, and a whisper of a breeze made the guests relax. 350 people had been invited to the show and were reclining on sun beds in the famous white tented cabanas feeling obviously privileged to be watching the extreme glamour of the designer’s idea to remind the viewers about an important part of Coco Chanel’s biography.

Karl Lagerfeld is a ballet lover as I can judge from the fact he has created an exclusive Chanel tutu for ballet sensation Elena Glurdjidze.

The designer said:

As a child I was already impressed by old images of Anna Pavlova dancing the ballet, the Ballet Russes were an influence for me.”

Over 2,500 feathers were used to make the beautiful one-off piece for Elena’s performance in the The Dying Swan’ as part of the National English Ballet’s season of Ballets Russes later this month.

As Glurdjidze, who is a principle dancer with the English National Ballet, said a costume is “50 percent of how you are going to dance”

It is very important to have a beautiful costume.”

The tutu was made at Chanel’s Lemarié atelier by three seamstresses who spent more than 100 hours to complete.

Elena was absolutely delighted with the finished piece and thanked the fashion designer with an impromptu performance in the middle of the Chanel store in Paris.

Watch the video to see how it all happened.

The Chanel couturier Karl Lagerfeld, who currently wrote the epitaph for “bling” and noticeable using, has shown a million of ideas for “recession luxury” in his Paris Haute Couture Fashion week collection.

The show was splendid in more ways than one.

The catwalk models wore white paper head-dresses made in origami-style by the Tokyo milliner, Kamo, and their nails were painted in white color.

The idea was a white page,” Lagerfeld said days before his show.

The outfits, gracefully-cut as if with a knife for butter, were in parchment-cream and virgin white. The white color was one of Coco Chanel’s favorite colours from the start of her career in the 1920s.

An casual blaze of black PVC or smoky-grey rose-print appeared through white colors.

The show was placed in a former bank. It’s columns and ceiling garlanded with elaborative white paper flowers and doilies.

Ex-wife of Mick Jagger Jerry Hall, who started working in modeling business in the Seventies, has seen career resurgence recently as Karl Lagerfeld has chosen her for Chanel’s handbag campaign.

Inspired by Colette’s Chéri, the images will be based around the novel’s tale of a young handsome man and his relationship with a woman twice his age, whose part the fashion icon of the past is going to play.

Model Baptiste Giabiconi will star as Jerry’s toyboy. He has already played in Lagerfeld’s silent mini-film, which was screened during Chanel’s Paris-Moscow show.

Karl Lagerfeld has chosen many famous modes as well as celebrities for his campaigns. Among those were: Claudia Schiffer, Nicole Kidman, Keira Knightley and now it is Jerry Hall who will be the face of Chanel.

He is so wonderful,” Jerry Hall tells the Daily Telegraph. “It was the best experience I’ve had with a photographer for many years. I actually enjoyed myself. Well, I am past my prime, so it was a treat.”

And not only the face – the body, too. This bed sheet story will certainly be a success as modern love life has lost the time notion and short adventures prime.

I wonder if the audience will like Lagerfeld’s idea.

Karl Lagerfeld has surprised us again with his terrific collection named Paris-Moscou.

The line - as you could expect - was innovative, modern, and timeless, obviously inspired by the Russian motives.

Thus, it is no wonder that the show was opened by Russian model Sasha Pivovarova, and closed by her fellow Russian model Natasha Poly. It was highly appropriate, despite the fact the show has not actually been shown in Russia.

The collection strikes us with its variety, luxurious fabrics and rich embroidery. Presented were black and red leather pants, gold Cossack boots, gold shinny leggings, the classic white and black Chanel suit, accessorized with black leather gloves and long boots, military fur hats and egg-shape and straight coats.

Lots of embellished pieces of sequins, feathers and pearls made the garments look more feminine and cute. But what made me admire this collection were head-pieces which the models were wearing at the catwalk.
