I got a question today, what does Chanel mean to me personally?

It’s a hard question to answer for me, in the sense that Chanel is so many things. Undeniably, being one of the largest brands in the history of fashion – Chanel has a lot of bunnies you can pull out the hat. To me, the brand is the epitome of french sophisticated sexyness. Classy, and clean. Bossy, but soft. Stern, yet moody. From hats and tweed to little black dresses and no. 5’s… there’s many great things worth mentioning when talking about Chanel.

The thing that I think pulls me in the most about Chanel though (aside from listening to Karl Lagerfeld talking french) is the haute couture.  The anticipation, the stress, the doubts, the collection. Seeing the seamstresses that work at Chanel, how intricate their detailing and sowing is, and how much they all work to get the pieces ready for the shows. And the shows, oh the shows! Chanel’s couture runways are never short of astonishing. The makeup, the hair, the models, the finished pieces.

Lilogi is an online fashion gallery, which is set to launch 12.12.11, but up until then you can get little previews of anything Chanel-related. You see, Lilogi is featuring exclusive Chanel content for the launch of their website – which is something that hardly ever happens. That means you have to have a look at their site, especially if you’re a big fan of the brand! I’m not going to let you in on any secrets – but I just unlocked ”Monday” myself. Definitely a website that will expand quick.

Here are some pictures inspired by Chanel which me and Eleanor took,
I have already posted them in my blog a while ago but thought you might want to see them again.

Old photo of me that I never posted.

Outkast – Dracula’s Wedding.

1. That dressing up as a fashion victim can sometimes be… just right.
2. Bleach London combined with innocent faces.
3. Madonna for Mert & Marcus because Mert & Marcus are geniuses and Madonna’s eyebrows are to die for.

and there would actually be 4, because I really love that Outkast song.

I want grey streaks in my hair too, á Chanel’s Couture show 2010.

Such a character.

Signé Chanel – en dokumentärserie i fem delar (anticipation, doubts, rituals, sleepless nights, the collection)  om modehuset Chanel och Karl Lagerfeld. Fem år senare, men ändå kul att få en inblick i Chanel som företag och estetisk verksamhet. Även om man kanske inte avgudar Chanel så är det intressant att se hur det går till när ett så stort märke som dem skapar en kollektion. Om inte: kolla ändå, bara för att lyssna på franskan som talas. ♥ Se avsnitten på youtube, de finns med subtitles också. (Score!)

Translation: Signé Chanel – a documentary in five episodes (anticipation, doubts, rituals, sleepless nights, the collection) about the house of Chanel and Karl Lagerfeld. Five years later, but still fun to take a rare look in Chanel as a company and aesthetic activity. Even if you might not adore Chanel it’s interesting to see how it’s done when such a huge brand creates a collection. If not: Go have a look anyway, just to listen to the spoken french. ♥ See the episodes on youtube, they’re subtitled too. (Score!)

De ikoniska Coco Chanel dubbelC’na slår igen. 78 dollar för en temporär tatuering. Det är 622 kronor. Värt? Jag tycker ju inte direkt det, jag föredrar äkta vara när det gäller tatueringar… men ja. Smaken är som baken!

The iconic Coco Chanel double C’s strikes again. 78 dollars for a temporary tattoo. That’s 622 swedish crowns. Worth it? I don’t really think so, and I prefer the real stuff when it comes to tattoos… but yeah. To each his own!

Skulle varit pretty fancy, aye?
