Chanel Heaven aka A Second Chance Resale

La Chanelphile — Thu, 24 May 2012 12:44:25 +0000

I’ve been busy running around NYC so I haven’t had time to finish all the drafts I have started about the rest of the Cruise Collection (celebrity arrivals, etc) and the St. Tropez ephemeral boutique but I assure you, I will get to it. I HAVE had time to go to Chanel Heaven aka A Second Chance Resale in NYC – both locations. I will have a store review and interview of the owners coming soon but I wanted to leave you with a sneak peek – you KNOW I didn’t leave empty handed!

Chanel Cruise 2012-13 Final Walk and Decor

La Chanelphile — Tue, 22 May 2012 11:49:02 +0000

I always love the final walk of a Chanel runway show because I feel like it’s Chanel flexing for the rest of the world the kind of power it carries. It always starts with Karl Lagerfeld choosing his muse du jour and walking the course of the runway with all of the models (or mannequins as they like to call them) strutting behind him like a peacock tail opening to show off it’s lovely colors.

The final walk of the Chanel Cruise 2012-13 was no different except this time, there were 66 models walking and the course of the runway were the grounds of Château de Versailles in the Bosquet des 3 Fontaines, which was restored (from original paintings from the period),thanks to the support of Madame Catharine Hamilton, President of the American Friends of Versailles (A.F.V.) and the Château de Versailles. The decor set up for the Chanel Cruise 2012-13 show included 16 tents, 22 lamps, 480 seats (really? 480 seats and one of those couldn’t be mine?! with three gorgeous fountains spouting all the while. Though the decor was simple and chic it took one week to set up. Check out more pics of the view below…

Chanel Introduces Le Vernis Nail Colour In Beige

La Chanelphile — Mon, 21 May 2012 11:50:08 +0000

I love neutral nail colors – especially because I need to keep my nail short (so I won’t scratch my tiny dancer) and because I don’t have the time to get manicures as often as I would like. I especially like neutrals set against lightly-tanned summer skin. Chanel has introduced the perfect new summer shade – Beige. If the color looks familiar, it may be because I mentioned it in an earlier post as being worn by Kristen Stewart, January Jones and Greta Gerwig at the 2012 Costume Institute Gala. The color is available exclusively on Chanel.com. I know some of you live in countries that don’t have Chanel e-commerce set up, I’m waiting to hear back about what international distribution will be like.

I Love Dust Agency for KARL by Karl Lagerfeld

La Chanelphile — Mon, 21 May 2012 03:48:14 +0000

The I Love Dust Design Agency (not to be confused with a cleaning service) has been commissioned to create graphics for the KARL by Karl Lagerfeld line. One of the designs is an image of Karl Lagerfeld make up of words and phrases – a clever use of typography. “The dark shades say ‘Sunglasses are like eye shadow: They make everything look younger and pretty,’ while his signature collar reads, ‘Black, like white, is the best color.’”

The design will be featured on four limited edition shirts for men and women and will be available for sale on May 31st at the KARL pop-up shop in NYC as well as Colette in Paris retailing for $95. Among the other graphics created by I Love Dust that were selected was a sketch of Karl’s signature fingerless driving gloves.

I think these will be a nice addition to the collection. I’m missing the launch of these shirts by literally one day! I’m leaving NY on the 30th If you’re lucky enough to be in NY and Paris I wish you luck getting one!

First Look: Chanel Pre-Fall 2012 Ad Campaign

La Chanelphile — Thu, 17 May 2012 06:13:00 +0000

Back in December Karl Lagerfeld took us on the Bombay-Paris express to see the Chanel Métiers D’Art Pre-Fall 2012 Paris-Bombay collection. Earlier this week images surfaced online of the upcoming ad campaign featuring Daria Strokous, styled by Carine Roitfeld and photographed by Karl Lagerfeld.

The styling, hair and makeup seems similar to what we saw on the runway. The photos are set in front of a bar that looks luxurious but is not glitzy. The photos are shot in black and white and I like the way the grayscale makes the photos look a bit aged and the poses are reminiscent of dancing Shiva statues. Stay tuned as you’ll be seeing these ads in magazines in a few months.

Chanel Cruise 2012/13 Show Beauté

La Chanelphile — Wed, 16 May 2012 23:54:46 +0000

Peter Philips created a lovely pink look that was “between girly and rebel” – very editorial and runway but not sure how it will translate as an everyday look. I will say that it was very pretty on the models and was the perfect compliment to the pastel rainbow of tweeds and chiffons that Karl Lagerfeld sent down the runway. The icing on the let-them-eat-cake look were the velvet double-C Chanel logo stickers that were placed high on the cheekbones and under the eyes of the models to mimic beauty marks made famous by Marie Antoinette.

As striking as the makeup was, I couldn’t take my eyes off of the hair by Sam McKnight. From the initial images, I thought that the models all were just wearing Dutch Boy bob wigs in pastel colors. When I saw close up images I saw that the hairstyles were actually much more complex. In a way, it was like an 18th century interpretation of a mullet – business in the front and party in the back. And by party, I mean long ponytails with big bows at the nape of the models’ necks.

Peter Philips, Creative Director of CHANEL Makeup used the following CHANEL products to create the runway beauty looks:

JOUES CONTRASTE Powder Blush in Rose Pétale

Little black velvet CHANEL logo specially created for the show**

The Lips
