"KARL'S JOURNEY" IN HUMOR CHIC

Humor Chic - the daily society portrait blog by aleXsandro Palombo www.humorchic.blogspot.com brings us this hilarious and very interesting story. In the times when V is coming back to TV screens, and people are getting back to aliens obsession this pictorial comes like a refreshing take on mixing fashion, obsession and art.



"Perhaps best known for the ruckus he caused after juxtaposing Anne Frank's face with a certain expletive on a T-shirt dress in his Fall 2006 collection, aleXsandro Palombo is a proudly controversial, fashion-focused Italian artist. And his cheeky-chic endeavors aren't restricted to the runway. In 2010, Palombo will make a stir with the release his second collection of sharp-witted fashion cartoons. Titled Humor Chic, the book cimples images and graphic novels, each of which feature satirical caricatures of fashion's obsession with celebrity, politics and, of course, itself." quote from Interview Magazine

ANA LOCKING - SPRING IN COLOR

After a season of gray and black, Ana Gonzales is painting the new collection for ANA LOCKING in flashy colors. The cuts are somewhat unexpected, as they mix formal with comfortable, while clearly making a colorful statement. This season’s concept expresses that “from the moment we accept that medicines exist in that space between life and death, and we accept that pleasure produces a relief of pressures, we find that any kind of antidote, in this case fashion, even without a reason, can supply vital, emotional and sense relief. Accepting this necessity means we’re still alive.”





We love the use of silk organza and satin as those materials make the clothes dance and intensify the feeling of comfort. And add to all of the some padded sholders from 80's and you are looking at another take on what our fashion might look like in the future. We love when designers know how to have fun while creating beautiful clothes.

BAPTISTE GIABICONI for CHANEL

We have already seen a couple of the images for the new fall winter Chanel campaign [Chanel FW 200/10 by Karl Lagerfeld] but it would have been quite a shocker not seeing Baptiste Giabiconi in it.



Here is a new series of images from the same campaign featuring Baptiste Giabiconi [source]





I am pretty sure that it is Sebastien Jondeau (aka Muse 1.0) jumping along with Baptiste (muse 2.0) on the picture below ...

NOAH MILLS & CARMEN KASS! MICHAEL KORS 2010 CRUISE COLLECTION

Noah Mills and Carmen Kass looking hot in this Michael Kors 2010 Cruise Collection. This time their are not having fun in Greece or on their private yacht but simply enjoying a nice day of shopping together.



They are like the perfect couple right!? Which girl would not want to have their boyfriend spend the entire day looking at them picking shoes and bags and belts and earrings and dresses and shoes and bags and belts and earrings and dresses ... Yes Noah Mills is the perfect boyfriend!

Even tho on the picture below he seems more like "Ok darling drop that bloody bag and stop pausing like someone is taking your picture, you look drunk ... it's time to go home now"



But clearly Noah Mills is not the one who takes the decision here, so he rather sits in the corner looking at the sports results on his blackberry than arguing with Carmen Kass who clearly has some shopping issues ;-)

ORLEBAR BROWN +

Orlebar Brown is a company based in London that makes swim shorts only. Their latest campaign [below] is very much "golden boys from the city off to a weekend in the hamptons" and at $200 a piece that is probably the niche market they go after ...

KARL LAGERFELD & HIS ENTOURAGE

There is not a single event, not a single vacation that Karl lagerfeld attend without part of his entire entourage, and I love him even more for that :-)



Of course when it is about spending some relaxing time in St Tropez during the summer, there is no problem to have his entire entourage with him, but when it comes to work and events, Karl likes to make sure his 'beauty boys' get the rest they deserve, so he alternates them. One day Sebastien Jondeau one day Baptiste Giaconi!



Two nights ago he attend 'We Love Hair - 111 Years Schwarzkopf' celebration in Dusseldorf, Germany with Baptiste Giaconi and last night he was with Sebastien Jondeau at the 'Menschen In Europa' award ceremony in Passau, Germany.



When I used to be a flight attendant I had the pleasure to serve him and Sebastien Jondeau on a New York Paris flight. He had this huge black éventail [fan] and he kept on asking things while hiding his mouth with it. Of course I could not understand or even hear what he was saying so he had to talk in the ear of Sebastien who was then talking into my ear, which was I have to say quite pleasant ;-)
