Chanel Short Film: Vol de Jour

February 1st, 2010

Lagerfeld venturing his talent into short films, I found this one pretty clever, and yet a bit amusing and cute. Karl Lagerfeld created a short film for the Chanel website that features model Lara Stone and his muse Baptiste, running in and out of several Chanel boutiques, with bags filled with unpaid Chanel items in Paris. Check it out below…its really cool!

Vol de Jour

Chanel Spring 2010 Couture Introduce Us to a Space Age

January 30th, 2010

Oh for the love of Walt Disney, Chanel’s Spring 2010 Couture collection was Lagerfeld’s way of expressing his true love for our dearest, Mini Mouse. Model’s hair were shift high, shaping the form of the characters huge ears, and then topped off in the center, with cute, someembroided , frilly bows. The collection was a mix up of several brilliant inspirations, Karl kept in mind from futurism, and romanticism. I found the collection of being minimal, but not minimal in the aspect of his use of an all white collection, which here and there included silver pastels, and splashes of exuberant jade, yellows, baby blues, and pinks. The silver booties, styled with each jacket, mini, and or gown alike, maintained the collections edge, symbolizing through every tweeded jacket and skirt ( in which some may call, old or granny clothing) lies that youth, delivering the message that the luxurious fashion house will always remain timeless, and made for women of every age. Lagerfeld, I don’t know what goes on in that magnificent brain of yours, but your brilliant. A remarkable, remarkable collection he displayed for Spring 2010 couture.

Brazilian super model Raquel Zimmermann goes behind the lens of French Vogue, as she dons haute couture pieces in front of neon colored, and graffiti printed walls.  The now ice blonde beauty is major, and these are by far my favorite shots of the the model that I wanted to share with yuh.

ICON by Caila: VOGUE Nippon’s Anna dello Russo…

October 15th, 2009

For being so bold, Anna Dello Russo doesn’t get enough attention (or at least, we think so… she deserves SO MUCH MORE!). She’s the undeniably elegant Creative Director at VOGUE Nippon, and steps out of her door every morning clad head-to-toe in innovative ensembles of luxurious designer pieces, plucked straight from the runway. She is completely distinct from “our own” Anna, and frankly, unlike the most haute “who’s who” in the industry. By reading the multiple interviews with her, one can perceive that Russo is much more than a daring fashionista with a yoga-lattes body…her genuine;y experimental spirit-cum-attitude inspires confidence in designers. Her staunch authenticity is rare in the industry, which is how she got to where she is today. She makes the important distinction that she is “first a consumer and then a collector”; she buys the clothes she wears, and has a staple pair of heels.

Hands in glove.

Hands in glove.

Backdoor exit.

Backdoor exit.

Anna Dello Russo uses her own taste to showcase choice pieces by wearing them while jaunting from top designer show to top designer show. The ferocious force, yet comfort she possesses in wearing what ever she wants, whenever she wants, is what makes her so uniquely iconic; she will rock the latest creations from top houses in a manor that defies all usual conformity. For example she sported a blood orange Lanvin dress at an early morning Marc by Marc Jacobs show. The confidence with which she carries herself fuses with her positive perspectives and justifies her unique style.

We're obsessed.
