Last year, we have seen Coca Cola Light's Tribute to fashion. This 2010, Coca-Cola Light summoned Chanel's Karl Lagerfeld to create a limited-edition bottle. This fashionable bottle is made from aluminum and features a pink cap with Karl Lagerfeld's silhouette in the background. The bottle is now sold at Parisian boutique, Collete for 3.50 Euros ($4.70). I want to grab one of these Karl Lagerfeld-designed Coca Cola bottles but they are only available in Paris!
Before I give the recap for the Fall 2010 Paris Fashion Week, I wanted to feature unique fashion show by Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel. The fashion designer successfully created an arctic ambiance by importing a 265-ton iceberg from Scandinavia to the Grand Palais. With the iceberg's 28 feet height,it definitely made the audience shiver. Meanwhile, the models enjoy the runway as they present cozy knits, furry apparel and thick tweeds. View the rest of the collection!
According to Karl Lagerfeld, he had never done a collection without black or navy except for his Spring 2010 Collection for Chanel. For his Spring 2010 Haute Couture Show, Lagerfeld chose a silver and pastel theme. The models sported heart-shaped cartoonish hair, shorts suits, bubble skirts, flowing togas and rococo-heeled silver booties. Checkout the majestic pieces shown in Chanel Spring 2010 Haute Couture Show!
Trivia: According to Instyle.com, Karl Lagerfeld used the heart-shaped hairdo of Lady Gaga for the show.
Lady Gaga spilled the beans about stress, sexuality, and her romantic future in Elle's January 2009 Issue. Check out some of Lady Gaga's cover shoot for the said issue:
Leather sandal jacket from the Artisanal collection. Panty from Agent Provocateur Iridescent plastic dress by Jil Sander. Tights by Falke. Suede elevated platform shoes from Vivienne Westwood.
Transparent plastic veil top by Karl Lagerfeld. Brief from Frederick’s of Hollywood. Sunglasses by Linda Farrow Projects.
I'm not a morning person in any way shape or form, whatsoever. Ever-ever ever. So not even 18 alarm clocks, my cat walking across my face and a pack of wild horses could rouse me at the ungodly hour of whatever time I'd have had to have gotten up to make it to the 8AM press call for the launch of Roberto Cavalli for H&M at the chain's 5th Avenue flagship location here in New York.
Seriously, not even if they'd have given me a key to the store and the green light to clear the place out on their dime, I still doubt I'd have made it. And from the looks of this video footage of the mayhem of the line's launch in Amsterdam, I'm quite glad:
Doesn't this remind you of waaaay back in the day when people got trampled to death at Toys R Us trying to get their consumption-happy hot little hands on new Cabbage Patch Kid Dolls to give their bratty kids for Christmas? (My mom gave us a fake, ghetto-fab off-brand Cabbage Patch Kid, for which I thank her -- this was just the beginning of me learning the value of a good knock-off!)
Check out the rather horrifying fashionista-on-a-budget bloodbath at Style Crunch, while Catwalk Queen details the mayhem in the UK. Oy. See, I had braces for many years and value the money my parents spent on my orthodontia too much to risk getting my teeth out over a $20 serpentine bracelet:
The H&M blog (what?) has lots more footage of INSANE people who got there at 7p.m. THE.FUCKING.NIGHT.BEFORE, plus pix of Cavalli himself and model Jessica Stam, who also showed up (again, exciting, but not exciting enough to merit waking up at like 5).
I think the best part of this story is the part that has nothing to do with the story -- Roberto (we're on a FNB -- first-name basis -- you know), dressed up as Karl Lagerfeld for Halloween. Ha!
