Karl Lagerfeld Loved Keira Knightley’s Unpretentious Wedding
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,
Keira Knightley had the "least pretentious wedding ever," according to Karl Lagerfeld.
The British actress married rocker James Righton in an intimate ceremony in the South of France last month, and Chanel's creative director felt the low-key nuptials were very tasteful. The 79-year-old designer spoke fondly of Keira - who is the face of Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle scent - saying she looked chic in a short Chanel dress with flat ballet pumps for her big day.
"She had the least pretentious wedding ever. The whole thing was relaxed. I think it's perfect. After all, they lived together for quite a time. It's not as if she is a young girl of 18 who sees the husband for the first time. She is not a country girl," he said.
He also discussed working with Keira, revealing she was easy to get along with on set in her recent role as Coco Chanel in a film focusing on the opening of the designer's first store in the French seaside town of Deauville: "Keira was genius, no? I work well with her. Very easy. Keira has zero problem in her way of behaving and she knows everybody."

Keira Knightley’s Jeans and T-shirt Wedding?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,
The Anna Karenina actress - who is engaged to Klaxons musician James Righton - thinks it would be "pretty generous" if Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld offered to create a gown for her, but is not sure if it would be the right choice yet.
"Well, that would be pretty generous of him. He's an incredible designer. Would I say yes? To be honest, I'm working on another film straight after Anna Karenina, which finishes after Christmas. Then, maybe I'll start thinking about the dress and the guests and the venue. It really depends on what sort of wedding I decide to have - if I go with jeans and t-shirt options, then maybe it wouldn't be quite right. I haven't decided on anything yet."
Despite a fearsome reputation, Keira claims Karl is a "nice man" and enjoys likes the work she has done with Chanel as she is allowed to pout: "He really is such a nice man, when you're shooting with him, he just sits there holding your hand. Working on Chanel campaign is so different to working on a huge film with Chanel I'm told to pout all I want!"
Manolo Blahnik Wants to Design Keira’s Shoes

Manolo Blahnik would love to design a pair of shoes for Keira Knightley.
The iconic footwear designer is a huge fan of the stunning actress and says it would be a dream come true to create a bespoke pair of shoes for her: "I saw her first in Bend It Like Beckham and I just loved her. I knew she'd be huge after that film. I went to see her last year in The Children's Hour and she was ravishing, just divine. She's the new Vivien Leigh. I liked her in The Edge of Love too, but she always kills everyone when she's on stage, she's so good. I love Rachel Weisz too - she's very beautiful."
Manolo also revealed he has no plans to collaborate with a high street store on a more affordable footwear range: "I have been approached so many times to do one, but I don't want to work for a big company where I'll have to have lots of meetings where I'm told what I can and can't do. My niece, Kristina, handles that sort of thing for me - it's just not for me. I was recently contacted by J Crew to do something with them, so I sent them over 45 pairs of shoes, and they announced we were doing a collaboration. I had no idea about it!"

Keira Knightley was among the many stars who turned out for Chanel’s Paris Fashion Week show today.
The British actress, who has been a muse for the iconic French fashion house’s creative director Karl Lagerfeld, joined a whole host of high-profile names for the event at the city’s Grand Palais. Keira’s fellow muse Lily Allen - who was handpicked by Lagerfeld to front the label’s Fall/Winter 2009 handbag collection - was also in attendance at the star-studded event, with actress Rachel Bilson and supermodel Claudia Schiffer also taking to the front row.
The Palace of Versailles was recreated inside the Grand Palais especially for the fashion showcase, with more than 80 models parading Chanel’s new creations up and down the runway. Despite a new modern take, the classic Chanel suit made a re-emergence on the Parisian catwalk, while pretty pastels, feathers and dramatic gothic-inspired pieces played a key role in the Spring/Summer 2011 collection.
Meanwhile, Ines de la Fressange - the fashion house’s original muse - marked her first return to the Chanel catwalk in 21 years by taking to the runway in a black floor-length chiffon gown and gold costume jewelery, while being greeted by a rapturous applause by the audience.

The origins of Rachel Zoe vintage boho style
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, News,
Rachel Zoe created her iconic vintage boho style as a poor teenager.
The Hollywood stylist - who has helped stars such as Mischa Barton, Nicole Richie and Keira Knightley develop their chic wardrobes - was forced to come up with affordable fashion ideas while she was broke. She said: “As soon as I was old enough to shop I fell in love with vintage. When I was younger, as a teenager, I used to ask myself how I could get this glamour for, like, not thousands and thousands of dollars. Ultimately, that answer kept coming back up as vintage. How could I get those vintage fur coats, that peasant dress or kaftan. That’s when I fell in love with vintage. For me, it became the way that I could get that unique piece that no one else could have.”
