Chanel No. 5

Full of beautiful, rich and vibrant colors the director of Amelie and dear Karl have collaborated to produce a short film advertisement for Chanel No. 5 Perfume. Starring my favorite French actress, Audrey Tautou, the film expresses the fragility of any love but with the bold spirit of the French. Admittedly, I enjoy the first one with Nicole Kidman more but nevertheless, this short film can speak volumes for itself.

Lily Does It Again

According to Elle UK, Karl has set his sights on my loveliest Lily to be the new face of Chanel handbags. Supposedly a muse to the great K (getting her front row seats to all of his shows, lucky lady) he will photograph Lily himself at the campaign shoot next week. To quote Zoolander, yes, I'm doing it, my favorite Lily looks now to becoming one of my favorite slashies. Oh, what a wonderful world.
