As if there aren’t enough reasons to be jealous of Alexa Chung, she throws another into the mix by revealing that she is in possession of a bag shaped like a huge bottle of Chanel No5.
The model and TV presenter attended the GQ Awards last night and appeared on the red carpet cradling the bag, a giant replica of Chanel’s most famous perfume (and arguably the most famous perfume in the world) with a clear glass body and stopper, a white leather and gold chain handle, and a gold plate on the front.
Sadly we couldn’t make out what was actually in the bag (I really wish there’d been another smaller bottle of No 5 in there), but I think I might have spotted some keys which is nice. Somehow you don’t imagine celebrities to have keys.
I find a site sale that bags just $448 http://ebbaaggs.com/chanel-perfume-bottle-chain-bag.htm
Specially created to celebrate the life and loves of Gabrielle Chanel is a series of 5 new short films, which in 5 different chapters explore her early days growing up in an orphanage to losing the love of her life, Boy Capel.
What will go down as the single biggest international event as far as Singapore’s fashion scene is concerned, the?Cruise 2014 Womens?Chanel runway collection was presented last night at Loewen Cluster within Dempsey Village, a group of disused colonial buildings that were revitalised by Chanel.
After the fashion, the next biggest draw would have to be the celebrity attendees, which included everyone from Chinese actress Zhou Xun to Super Junior’s Siwon Choi who drew sighs and flashbulbs wherever he went. Actresses?Dakota Fanning and?Ryeo-Wong Jung were in attendance, along with Singapore’s Zoe Tay and Fann Wong.
Having already made its way around the world, Chanel’s The Little Black Jacket photography exhibition is finally making an appearance on our little red dot from 9 November.
Celebrating a revered icon from the house of Chanel and one that Coco Chanel created herself, the exhibition sees Karl Lagerfeld taking to the lens and shooting the timeless little black jacket on celebrities like Keira Knightley, Vanessa Paradis and Sarah Jessica Parker, just to name a few.
If you thought that Chanel’s S/S13 collection only had oddities like the ‘Lego’ Clutch and the Classic Flap Hoops, well, you thought wrong. There’s actually a 3rd one that got me all intrigued after V Magazine put it up on Twitter last November. After much research and countless nights thinking how it would look sitting pretty on my shelf, may I present the?Chanel S/S13 Classic Flap Cage,?a wired metal work of art that is part-avant-garde, part-goth and all lust.
Best described as Star Trek meets Little House On A Prairie, Karl Lagerfeld has models defying gravity in the latest ad campaign for Chanel, where they are dressed in futuristic garb and doing what ladies living on the prairie did best, knitting, cross-stitching and of course, having tea together.
Because there’s nothing most Singaporeans would rather do than queue outside Chanel at Ngee Ann City?on a Sunday afternoon, I thought this selection of S/S13 bags would be apt, giving you something to drool over while you wait, and of course, telling your SA what exactly you’ll be wanting this season.
For boys who have been praying hard for a large Boy, your wishes have been granted. Almost 30 cm across by 21 cm, this one is especially stunning in quilted lambskin. You’ll also find smaller versions of the Boy in?stunning blue and yellow, along with some in more exotic shagreen.
Another one of my personal favourites, the ridiculously shaped Chanel Classic Flap Hoops, which will start from SGD3310 and up apiece. Given its rather ‘affordable’ price and high?collectibility factor, it probably has a waiting list as long as the aforementioned?queue and will sell out in no time.
Last but not least, another interesting S/S13 bag, a clutch that has Chanel’s signature interlaced chains woven into the body. Not as flamboyant (the Classic Flap Hoops wins hands down) or as practical (it would be heavy, no?), but still beautiful in its own edgy, biker-chic sort of way. Which do you have your eye on?
