Each day more and more images surface online of the Chanel ads styled by Carine Roitfeld featuring Freja Beha Erichsen and photographed by Karl Lagerfeld. Here are the latest shots – some are very racy. I especially love the one of the Boy Bag – let the bag and the legs do the talking!
Earlier this month some images of the Fall-Winter 2011/12 ad campaign were leaked onto the net and Karl Lagerfeld claimed that they were stolen. The big to-do about the images was because of the dream team that created them – styled by Carine Roitfeld, shot by Karl Lagerfeld and starring Karl’s muse Freja Beha. The official images have just begun to surface online thanks to some scans from Northern Star on The Fashion Spot.
In the first image we see Freja as feline with Chanel camellias as ears – so adorable! In the second image we see Freja with disheveled hair and very plain makeup. She’s staring squarely into the camera and has French writing on her face: “Il n’y a pas de mode si elle ne descend pas dans la rue!” The famous line is one of Coco Chanel’s most quoted sayings, which in English is: “Fashion does not exist unless it goes down into the streets.” I love the simplicity of this photo and how it highlights a Chanel truism in a unique way. Carine Roitfeld and Karl Lagerfeld make a great team and I hope that this is not the last we see of this dynamic duo.
Back in April I mentioned that former French Vogue EIC Carine Roitfeld would be styling the Chanel Fall-Winter 2010/11 ad campaign featuring Freja Beha Erichson. Images from the campaign have begun to surface online and they definitely look a bit different from the ones that Karl art directs. Instead of shooting outside, on white seamless or in 31 Rue Cambon, the ads show Freja in a photobooth, presumable taking photos of herself. It’s kind of like a dream, within a dream I suppose. Perhaps inspired by Inception? I can’t wait to see these in the glossies in the next few weeks. What do you think of them?
P.S. – I love the Chanel mask! Freja looks like a Chanel superhero!
Back in March the internet was abuzz with the news that Karl Lagerfeld was in the Lower East Side of NYC shooting the Chanel Fall-Winter 2010/2011 RTW campaign. Chanel released official behind the scenes images of Uncle Karl and Peter Philips in action. The campaign features Freja Beha Erichsen, Abbey Lee Kershaw and to-die-for faux fur accessories. You should be seeing these images in magazines soon. View more images below…

Last week the fashion community was atwitter on twitter. Why? Karl Lagerfeld and Chanel crew were spotted in the streets of the Lower East Side of New York shooting the Chanel Autumn/Winter 2010 Ready to Wear campaign. The models on set included Karl’s girl of the moment Freja Beha Erichsen, as well as Abbey Lee Kershaw. It’s not everyday that you get to see Karl Lagerfeld on the streets of New York – I wish I was there to see it with my own eyes!
