BAPTISTE GIABICONI INTERVIEW ... AND MORE!

During a backstage interview with mademoiselle Agnes, Karl Lagerfeld's muse Baptiste Giabiconi was not afraid to showi his hot body along with some workout tips and the cutest of all is South of France accent (from Marseille) I LOVE it ...



Baptiste was not modeling he was working in a factory (assembling electronic part of planes) and was scouted at the gym in Marseille, he also reveals in this interview that he does not understand why his success with girls did not picked up since he is now one of the most popular model :-( Poor little thing ...



As you can see Baptisite is not shy (we sort of got the idea by the photos he did with Karl) he was also kind enough to share some beauty tips ;-)



Of course Sebastien who was there, was jealous that nobody asked him to get shirtless!!!! So like a big boy he just opened his shirt to show us a nipple, it's better than nothing right !?



Check out the video below, it's in French bien sur (great to work on your French skills) but for those who do not understand a word, Baptiste is just explaining how everything started with Karl and how he never left Karl's side ever since the day he stepped into his studio in Paris but that we knew ...

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 ...

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 ;-)

UN AIR DE CAMPAGNE IN PARIS FOR CHANEL 2010

As always Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel presented its ready-to-wear Spring-Summer 2010 collection at Le Grand Palais in Paris. As Always the show was THE place to be [front row] bien sur!



As Always the gorgeous Baptiste Giabiconi was there, even tho the collection was for women. He was just lying on the floor making out with two other models at the end of the show.





Baptiste Giabiconi also walked along with a few models during the show.





The chic Parisian crowd was delighted by the show, Prince, Rihanna, and Lily Allen who not only is the face of Chanel Coco Cocoon range collection of bags but was also there to entertain and perform before the show for the the international fashionistas.



And once the show over, Karl returned home with his sexy entourage ... as always!

KARL LAGERFELD IS LAUNCHING THE PRET-A-PORTER-EGO-FRIENDLY BAG

I've always been a big fan of Karl Lagerfeld's megalomania! Right now many celebrities and super models are in Paris for the womenswear fashion week spring summer 2010 and I just love this picture of Katy Perry and Rihanna exchanging though on their soooo discreet pret-a-porter-karl's ego-bag!

I would love to have the same eco-ego-friendly-bag to do my grocery shopping at Trader Joey's :-)

Paris can be super glamorous ... if you do not pay attention to the details, like the scary guy behind Katy Perry at Le Jardin des Tuileries LOL! The 80's are back apparently, even tho this jacket is more like a 70's nightmare to me ... Run Katy! Run!

K by KARL LAGERFELD

Baptiste Giabiconi that we have seen all summer with Karl lagerfeld in St Tropez [Karl Lagerfeld and His Entourage Part One - Part Deux] is in the face of the new fall winter 2009.10 campaign of K by Karl Lagerfeld along with Edita Vilkeviciute photographed by Karl lagerfeld. I am sure there will be more images to come soon and we will keep you updated.

KARL LAGERFELD'S ENTOURAGE IN ST TROPEZ PART DEUX!

Since Karl expended his entourage in November last year Sebastien Jondeau and Baptiste Giabiconi did not leave Karl's side, not even to spend the summer with him in the south of France. In fact the first time I have paid attention to the gorgeous Sebastien was back in 2005 when he and Karl docked their yacht in St Tropez.

Once again Karl Lagerfeld was spotted with Sebastien and Baptiste enjoying la joie de vivre in St Tropez which would be like the french grand mother of Beverly Hills with its chic boutiques and multi million euro homes in the rolling hills around a little fishermen's village between Nice and Marseille.



+ Karl Lagerfeld's Entourage in St Tropez

Being in St Tropez you would think the gang will spend their euros in luxury things ... not exactlty and as we always says the the simple things in life are often the best, they just bough a playstation (as you can see on the first picture) and picked up the latest Paris Match (not the one with Sharon Stone naked on the cover).

KARL LAGERFELD EXPANDS HIS SEXY ENTOURAGE!

I love how you can make up a story just with one picture! On the picture above you could think that Sebastien Jondeau who is always with Karl looks pissed that Karl's attention is all dedicated to a younger version of him! [Splash]



Anyway, Karl is expanding his sexy entourage (keep them coming ...). He was spotted with his loyal and hunky Sebastien and another male model at a street vendor in Soho, so decadent we love it!
