What else must be said???

Fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld has directed a high-budget 10-minute short film to pay homage to French fashion pioneer Coco Chanel. This glamorous silent film has premiered last week in Paris at the Le Ranelagh theater. Edita Vilkeviciute will portray the young Coco from 1913, when the legendary designer first set up shop. Along with Vilkeviciute, the film will feature model Brad Koenig, Lady Amanda Harlech and the actual workers from the Chanel atelier used as actors to keep the authenticity to the visuals. The mini-film was shot in two days outside of a Paris movie studio.

Karl Lagerfeld x Le Petit Larousse 2009 Edition

Having already showcased the likes of Moebius and Christian Lacroix, Karl Lagerfeld was the natural choice to be featured in the 2009 edition of the Le Petit Larousse. The French reference book consists of a dictionary featuring common words and encyclopedia featuring proper nouns. Packaged in a elegant black box, the book pairs Lagerfeld’s portrait with a facsimile signature along the front. Le Petit Larousse is expected to release November 4th, 2008.
