31 Rue Cambon

As if we needed another excuse to drag our boyfriends into Chanel (still trying to convince mine a 2.55 is like buying a house-it's a total investment!) almost every day of the week, now we find out that King Karl (yes we have two kings- Karl and Christian) has decided that magazines rule and is producing his very own in-house Chanel version with the irrefutable creative talent of Purple Magazine's Oliver Zahm.

The magazine aptly named "31 Rue Cambon" after the address of the first and oldest Chanel boutique will be available in every store worldwide. Oliver said, "this is the first issue and first Chanel magazine which I have art directed and designed for Karl Lagerfeld."

We are too excited and have a feeling that issue 01 will be incredibly hard to get hold of so expect queues and catfights, or should that be Karlfights, which ever, we are happy to see Chanel advocate the significance of the glossy. 

Supermodel Returns: Schiffer in Chanel.. AGAIN

20 years after she first graced the Chanel advertising boards and following her A/W 08/09 ads, Claudia Schiffer is back and fronting the new SS ready to wear campaign for the uber brand. 

After taking time off to look after her children, Schiffer is certainly returning to the fashion scene with a bang, with her nude cover for I.D (see below) and now this, she's showing us all what we've been missing out on. 

Whilst Lilly Allen is young and (arguably) hip, we think the classic elegance of Chanel is far better suited to the likes of the old school beauties.
