Chanel as You've Never Seen It!

images via models.com and V Magazine

Karl Lagerfeld is notorious for his unkind remarks toward curvy women, and in direct response to his widely criticized attitude, he and V Magazine teamed up to create this photo shoot. We have to admit that it is eye-catching and a lot of fun!
The model, Miss Dirty Martini, poses with a Coco Chanel look-alike in the famed 31 rue Cambon atelier.
The lingerie-themed shoot includes pieces personally owned by Miss Martini (such as that fabulous fringe bra) and items by Chantal Thomass, Rigby & Peller, Dolce & Gabbana and Comme des Garçons. Of course all of the accessories are Chanel, including the new Chanel temporary tattoos and brooches which were used as pasties! Ahh, Chanel pasties...who would have thought!
All images were shot by Karl Lagerfeld, and you can see more from V Magazine's size issue here.

Lace & Coco Chanel

Coco Chanel by Horst

Chanel black lace, via Conde Nast store

"I consider lace to be one of the prettiest imitations ever made of the fantasy of nature; lace always evokes for me those incomparable designs which the branches and leaves of trees embroider across the sky, and I do not think that any invention of the human spirit could have a more graceful or precise origin."
Coco Chanel, April 29, 1939

We found this lovely quote from Coco Chanel, and wanted to share it with you. We figure that if you love luxury lingerie, odds are you appreciate the beauty of fine lace. Also, we simply love Coco Chanel and her influence in fashion as we know it!
