Post #36: Something to Note - Blake Lively For Chanel

After meeting Karl Lagerfeld, Blake Lively was named the face of the new Mademoiselle handbag line by Chanel. The bags come in a range of materials, including: Iguana, Matte Alligator, Galuchat, Jersey, Perforated Patent Calfskin, Aged Calfskin, Satin, Karung, Iridescent Calfskin, and Patent Calfskin, as well as a range of sizes (mini bowling, small bowling, bowling, large bowling, and maxi bowling). And based on the ad campaign that just hit magazines this month, The Mannequin has deemed the Mademoiselle handbag the IT handbag of the upcoming months.

Post #35: Fashion on Film - Coco Mademoiselle

Once again, Chanel has created a gem of a video for one of its signature perfumes. The latest Coco Mademoiselle mini-film, starring Keira Knightley and Alberto Ammann, was released March 21st. Directed by Pride & Prejudice director Joe Wright, the video features Knightley seducing a photographer wearing first a nude catsuit and matching boots and then nothing but the fragrance itself.
