Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld is a busy man these days with his design work for Chanel, multiple collaborations and time spent behind the lens. But for the July issue of Vogue Japan, Lagerfeld took some time out to strike a pose for Eric Guillemain (2b Management) in his signature glasses and fingerless gloves. The German designer poses alongside images featured in The Little Black Jacket, an exhibit starring 113 celebrities and models in the iconic Chanel staple photographed by Lagerfeld with styling by Carine Roitfeld.

Karl Lagerfeld’s interview at the Grand Palais, Chanel Fall-Winter 2012/13 Ready-to-Wear show.
“This show was first-class. The audience were welcomed aboard at the entrance of the Grand Palais and led through a fake airport terminal of articulated metal corridors into the interior of a jumbo jet, complete with airline seating, low-level lighting and blue skies visible through the small windows. Instead of gilt chairs with calligraphed labels, there were slender airline style seats with electronic numbering, either side of a wide aisle. Champagne was served from a trolley wheeled along a carpet dotted with a discreet double-C logo.
The extravagant attention to detail on the set is not just a gimmick, but serves a commercial purpose of sorts – reminding the audience that the core value of Chanel haute couture is the pursuit of perfection with no heed to the cost.
The first dress of the show was an idealised vision of a chic, early 1960s flight attendant. An immaculate boucle sheath dress, with a wide boat-shaped neckline and dropped waist, it came in a shade of baby blue that would look saccharine if the outline were not so simple. But Lagerfeld is never particularly interested in fashion nostalgia, so this was never likely to be a tribute to Pan Am styling. And true to form, the second outfit to emerge was a dress in royal blue wool, simply cut but for a subtle padding of the cap sleeves, which lent a hint of Star Trek.
Lagerfeld’s flight of fancy took the legend of a golden age of travel as a starting point for a journey that then headed into the future. The rolling white clouds screened through the windows morphed into a dark, starry sky – and before long, into an image of the earth as seen from outer space.
As the show went on, the models’ mohicans became ever more extravagantly gravity-defying; the texture of the clothes shifted from classic boucle tweed into glitter-threaded denim to suggest a starry sky, and then into layers of opalescent pebbles that resembled a moonscape. Throughout, the silhouette was lean and curveless, with straight up-and-down dresses whose wide necklines almost matched the width at the hips.”
“Meet Karl Lagerfeld’s New (Adorable) Kitten, Choupette.
Looks like Karl Lagerfeld could have a new muse! The designer shared this photo of his new cat with V Magazine’s Stephen Gan, who tweeted it, adding “Hello Kitties @LadyGaga @formichetti! Karl’s Lagerfeld‘s sunday night photo: meet Choupette, his new kitten. -SG.” Aw. Don’t you just want to snuggle her?
Cross your fingers that this means we can expect some cat-themed clothing to walk the runway at Chanel!”
