Apr 19, 2013 | Contributor: Nicolle MonicoSure, describing Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld as a “godfather” figure is something most of us can only do while playing out our fashion fantasies. Diane Kruger, however, has been fortunate to have met Lagerfeld at the age of 16 and has continued a close friendship with him; appearing in ads for Chanel handbags and fragrance lines....

Mar 21, 2013 | Contributor: Annalisa SolariOne would think that with its intricate details, flamboyant hues and avant-garde designs, haute couture is pretty hard to upstage.

Mar 12, 2013 | Contributor: Annalisa SolariWhen it comes to fashion, luxury designer Karl Lagerfeld certainly doesn't disappoint. Sure, there are plenty of times when we simply wish he would take an extra second to think before he constructs one of his all-too-famous snarky remarks; however, when it comes to constructing a truly exquisite ensemble, Mr. Lagerfeld has an innate ability that should never be doubted.

Jan 29, 2013 | Contributor: Nicolle KeoghIf ever there were an enchanted forest in real life, it was the one seen at last week’s Chanel show held at the Grand Palais in Paris, at which designer Karl Lagerfeld presented his Couture collection for the luxury brand. Actual trees and shrubbery were shipped in one-by-one to the venue at which Lagerfeld has presented in the past. “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” was apparently the inspiration for the show, and the actual collection is just as fascinating as the set itself....

Jan 22, 2013 | Contributor: Nicolle KeoghLuxury designer Karl Lagerfeld made quite the statement today on the tails of a recent march in Paris that protested French president Francois Hollande's plan to legalize gay marriage. Such a statement was made at Lagerfeld's haute couture show for Chanel, during which the fashion maven sent two models hand-in-hand down the runway wearing couture bridal gowns. The pair of models, who walked with one of the designer's young nephews, closed out the long-awaited show that occurred as a part of Paris Fashion Week. To make himself clear, when asked by the Associated Press if the act was made in support of gay marriage in France, Lagerfeld replied, "Of course it was."... Read More | 
Jan 15, 2013 | Contributor: Nicolle KeoghA new exhibit that celebrates the work of luxury fashion maven Gabrielle Chanel at China's Guangzhou Opera House is unlike the label's Beijing and Shanghai exhibits in the same country. While the latter two take a biographical approach to commemorate the iconic designer, the new exhibit, which will run today through March 3, is thematically based on a ballet called Le Train Bleu,for which Chanel designed the costumes. The display is meant to showcase the designer's modern lifestyle and involvement in the arts by featuring 400 pieces, including Chanel jewelry and apparel— both new and old— as well as sketches, books, and manuscripts from other artists and writers and accompanying photos and videos of Chanel and her friends....

Oct 10, 2012 | Contributor: Nicolle Keogh | 1 CommentArguably some of the most intriguing aspects of luxury fashion house Chanel is the history behind the brand, which those of us born in the post-CoCo era did not get to experience first-hand. The LBD, the string of pearls, and the classic combination of black and white were already iconic staples in the high fashion world— thanks to the fashion icon— long before many of us stepped into our first pair of kitten heels....

Oct 10, 2012 | Contributor: Sally Farris | 2 CommentsWhen a woman buys a luxury perfume, more than likely, she is doing so in order to get noticed. Chanel No. 5 is a fragrance that has turned heads for over 90 years, using the most beautiful celebrity women in campaigns to demonstrate the bottle's attracting abilities. Now Andrea d’Avack, president of Chanel Fragrance & Beauty, is changing it up. What better way to show the aphrodisiac-like qualities of the scent than to show People Magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive" in 1995 and 2000, Brad Pitt, going weak at the knees when he gets a whiff?...

Oct 4, 2012 | Contributor: Nicolle KeoghParis Fashion Week went out with a bang by with the debut of Chanel’s ready-to-wear collection for Spring/Summer 2013. The luxury brand, whose last several clothing lines have been designed by Karl Lagerfeld, presented a refined collection that referenced the 1960s.
