Oh Karl...you little tinker!

New Chanel ad, oh how true! I went to step aerobics this morning, next step, shoving this on the fridge

Chanel flashmob

I went along, couldn't find it for ages and then when I did, found that it was pretty small. Hardly T-Mobile proportions...nice idea, I like the partnership with Queens of Vintage but a shame it didnt really happen. Surely this signifies the death of the flashmob?

Lily Allen models for Chanel

Here is Lily Allen modeling Chanel's new Coco Cocooon handbag range - she looks very much like Audrey Hepburn here. The campaign was shot by the big KL, piccies from Grazia. The bags will be hitting Chanel in October

Coco Before Chanel - some stills!!

Having written about this week's Chanel flashmob, I am really excited to have got my hands on some stills for the film Coco Before Chanel, so take a look at the lovely Audrey Tatou who plays Mademoiselle Chanel...'a rebel who finds the conventions of her time oppressive, and instead dresses in her lovers' clothes…'

This is the story of Gabrielle Chanel, who begins her life as a headstrong orphan, and through an extraordinary journey becomes the legendary couturier who embodied the modern woman and became a timeless symbol of success, freedom and style.

Coco Before Chanel is released in UK cinemas 31st July 2009.

I.cannot.wait.

Brings a whole new meaning to fashion forward

After blogging about the flashmob for the brand new Chanel film yesterday I was immediately followed by Chanel on Twitter - not actually the House of Chanel you understand but some web bot style twitterer which aggregates every Chanel item for sale on the internet. If you're are interested in checking it out you can find it here: twitter.com/chanel_world

My stream of conscious then reminded me that I hadn't blogged about the brand new Net-A-Porter iPhone App, once downloaded you can buy things from your iPhone - which is pretty obvious but pretty freaking dangerous when you are fed up on the bus. If, like me, your budget does not stretch to NAP style prices then you can have a good old window shop - should that be new fangled screen shop? You can also check out their magazine, email people who have more money than you pictures of things you like (a slightly more subtle way of saying BUY ME THIS)and create your own wish list for when you become mega rich.

They'll be adding new items and content every Monday and Wednesday, so even more reason to check it out frequently. You can get it from the iTunes App shop.

Other good fashion iPhone Apps include Style.com's App which includes pictures from fashion shows, Style File blogs, couture shows, fashion reviews, and even video feeds. Also, Chanel have a great one - I found a great description of it on TotallyHer so i thought I'd paste it below:

You can get news, photos, videos, and product information from one of the biggest names in fashion. You can watch fashion shows, see the latest offerings from the Chanel line, access an RSS feed of Chanel’s news, and check a store locator if you just have to have whatever item you just saw. So far Chanel is the only fashion company to release an app like this, and there’s no news yet if others will follow. The Chanel iPhone App is free from the App Store.

So fashion has gone totally tech...you heard it here first
