Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Editorials, Fashion Designers, Models, News,

Anja Rubik is back for a second consecutive time modeling for Fendi’s ad campaign for Fall/Winter 2010, photographed by Karl Lagerfeld himself!

In the same stylish vein as Miu Miu’s campaign, the photos’ mood (catch more after the jump!) has a vintage feel, reinforcing the current fascination with television’s Mad Men. Surprise, surprise—Karl’s

favorite model Baptiste Giabiconi makes an appearance.

What do you think of the photos—too plain or fashionably sophisticated?

Russia Inspired Chanel Couture

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Models, News,

Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld took his inspiration from Russia for the Chanel Couture show in Paris yesterday.

Models walked down a specially created runway at the Grand Palais in the French capital - walking out of a lion holding a giant pearl - in shades of maroon, brown, white and pink.

Although not a huge departure from what Chanel is known for - classical, flattering cuts in various tweeds - it was a solid collection, with fur-trimmed collars and cuffs teamed with mid-calf boots and seeming inspiration taken from Faberge eggs. Waistlines were kept high and shoulders boxy, with arms billowing, and as the show progressed, sequins and ornate detailing came in abundance.

The final model to walk down the runway was Karl Lagerfeld’s male model of the moment Baptiste Giabiconi, who donned a lion’s head mask while wearing the style of suit favored by the German-born designer - a black trouser and blazer combination worn with a high-necked white shirt.

Others to put on shows yesterday include Givenchy, who provided a decadent and glamorous collection and Giorgio Armani Prive, who worked a serious and sexy business-like chic.

Coca-Cola Hires Karl Lagerfeld

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, News, Sales,

In what seems to be his continued attempt to promote thin people, Karl Lagerfeld has designed a range of Coca-Cola Light bottles.

The Chanel designer has created a limited edition bottle for release in France, made in aluminium and featuring his own silhouette (would it really have been anything else?). As well as designing the bottles, he also shot the advertising campaign starring models Coco Rocha and Baptiste Giacobini.
