Chanel fur suit

Karl Lagerfeld must have been watching re-runs of Star Wars when designing his fur suit.  Who knew Chanel would ever consider Chewbacca tres chic?

Joe Zee, Elle Magazine’s creative director and reality show star from The City recently climbed into one of these designer fur suits and pranced around Manhattan on a hot summer day.  I guess when you’re creative director of a fashion magazine having Karl lend you his most outrageous look is simply a perk of the job.  Joe must really be starving for attention.  Here he is heading to the zoo explaining to a bewildered passerby who wonders out loud how he can wear fur “When you’re wearing Chanel you’re always hot.”

Even more hilarious is when he spontaneously starts freaking Elmo

Joe, don’t you have better things to do like kiss Olivia Palermo’s ass while running a magazine perhaps?

Inspiration Board: Chanel

As you know from a previous blog post, I was thrilled with Chanel’s Spring/Summer 2010 line of purses.  So I was fascinated to see the inspiration board that started the collection.

Everything from landscapes to paintings to roses and soft portraits seemed to inspire.  I asked Vogue blogger Emily Zak where she sourced these photos and I’ll let you know once confirmed.  Could they be from the desk of Karl?

I love the creativity behind inspiration boards, have several of them in my own home and have written a blog entry about some of my favorite collages that I’ve found online.   Here are a few others that are Chanel-inspired that caught my eye.

I just adore the idea of a Chanel – inspired wedding and dream about having this gorgeous quilted Chanel cake at my future reception.  The black and white motif is classic and elegant, anemones are the perfect flower to incorporate a black & white theme and don’t you love the unique #5 table number?

Again, another Chanel-inspired wedding inspiration board, this time including some pretty blush tones.  What do you think?  It’s from Parisianevents.

This pretty set came from Princess Foo Foo who confesses to becoming a Chanel addict at the tender 5th grader period in her life when she first received her very own Chanel purse as a birthday gift.  (wow! can someone say generous parent?)  I want those cage shoes and that bracelet watch!

The above collage came from BlackPatentStilettos.  I love how she incorporates my favorite Coco quote. and the sparkly bracelet is catching my eye.

Any Chanel fans out there?  What do you think about the above roundup?  Do tell!
