Yes, we like to make fun of the Kaiser but his couture runway show at the Grand Palais in Paris was nothing short of genius. OK, so no bags were shown, but we give props when props are in order. The spiral staircase is what you would expect from Karl, over the top (indeed!). He made Coco proud by modernizing her asthetics, like showing the collection in go-go boots similar to the ones she wore in the 50's (yes, 50's not 60's). His collection was black and white and had all the classics you would expect from the House of Chanel. What we love are all the camellias and organdy and satin details he does so well to give that girly flair without looking like a birthday cake. What I wouldn't do to lay down $500K to update my wardrobe. Ahhh, there is nothing so fabulous as haute couture!!lv handbag

The ever brilliant Karl Lagerfeld struck gold with Spring's youthfully exuberant collection at Chanel, literally and figuratively, upping the bling factor with stacks of gold bracelets and chunky gold chains(borderline tacky but it is Chanel so we'll forgive). There were also ultra mini skirts, skin tight jeans, and baby doll dresses shown with platform shoes. All looks that young trophy wives of gazillionaires will embrace. Chanel loyalist need not worry though, there were plenty of classic tweed jackets and little black dresses, just shrunken to mini-me proportions. We also loved the few bags that were shown on the runway (Chanel is fiercely protective of bag designs, do you blame them with knock offs everywhere?) 2.55 bags were downsized, trimmed in chains, and embellished with Coco's signature charms. All in all, a cheeky and fun collection that won't go down in fashion history but will satisfy the young socialite pret-a-porter clientele that the House of Chanel loves courting.replica lv bags 

This was shown to me yesterday at the Chanel boutique and I almost passed out from excitement. It is one of the coolest crocodile bags I have ever seen! It's a perfect shade of gray that will go with everything, the skin is absolutely flawless with not a single pinhole size mark (this was obviously a friendly crocodile that did not get in to many skirmishes with other reptiles), and the unstructured shape is totally casual and chic. I also love the chunky silver chain, which gives the bag a younger appeal. Excuse the blurry camera phone photo as I did not have my camera. I must start carrying my camera with me at all times like the paparazzi, but since I am casing bags not celebs does that make me a bagarazzi?

There are only 4 left in the US and at $13,800 it probably won't sell out anytime soon but with Paris and Nicole back shopping together as BFF and buying everything in sight, you better move quickly. Call Alexis at the Chanel Boutique in Highland Park should you be interested and have lots of money to blow. 214-520-1055replica bags 

I find Karl Lagerfeld utterly fascinating, the man is a creative genius as seen by his latest art inspiration for the House of Chanel. I mean who else would think of commissioning a 7,500 sq. ft traveling pavilion to showcase Chanel's classic quilted handbag around the world? Designed by 15 contemporary artists from around the globe who were given carte blanche to create this work inspired by the 2.55 quilted handbag famous for its quilted leather, chain handles and rectangular shape (which makes up 30% of Chanel's business). This amazing blend of fashion and architecture will be open to the public while on exhibit in locations such as Hong Kong, where it makes its debut next January. The pavilion, which will accommodates up to 2,000 people a day, will then travel to Tokyo, New York, Los Angeles, London, Moscow and Paris — a journey that will take until 2010 to complete. Boasting exhibition space of more than 6,000 square feet, the 7,500-square-foot pavilion also will house a cloakroom, reception area and rest rooms.

You must go see this when it comes to a city near you! It will be an exhibit experience of a lifetime.
