Is Karl Lagerfeld Gossip Girl's latest guest star?

Michael Kors has already done it, but rumours are now swirling that Karl Lagerfeld may be guest starring on Gossip Girl.

The gossip arose when Lagerfeld was spotted with GG's Blake Lively, during the show's filming in Paris.

I really hope this is true!

Would you want to see Karl on Gossip Girl?

Chanel's Genial

Models sported Chanel's new lip colour, Genial, at the fashion house's couture show in Paris yesterday.

The lip colour is part of the label's next colour collection which will come out in the summer, as part of the newest addition to the Rouge Allure lip-colour line.

The raspberry sorbet colour make lips look too delicious to resist! Perfect for the summer, or to brighten up a dreary winter's day.

Très genial, indeed.

Paris Fashion Week: Alexander McQueen Spring 2010 RTW


There are no words to describe the magnificence of Alexander McQueen's Spring 2010 ready-to-wear runway show.

McQueen streamed the show live online, but with the high volume of people trying to tune in, not everyone was able to access the site, myself included. To top it all off, thirty minutes before the show, Lady Gaga tweeted that her new single, "Bad Romance" would be premiered by McQueen. This was quite possibly another reason why the server crashed.

Clearly, McQueen pulled out all the stops to impress. It was a big budget production, with large robotic cameras capturing every moment for the live stream. In the background, a screen played a video of Raquel Zimmermann lying on sand, naked, with snakes crawling all over her body.

The models resembled a hybrid of an alien and a sea monster. McQueen's logic was revealed in a press release: "Humankind is made up of creatures that evolved from the sea, and we may be heading back to an underwater future as the ice cap dissolves."

Wild animal and reptile printed dresses were adorned with ruffles, and peaked shoulders. Extravagant hairstyles along with the added prosthetics to the cheekbones added to the effect that the models were out of this world. And finally, the 10-inch booties that came in several different designs and colours caused such a stir that almost every fashion blog has been raving about them.

Check out the brilliance below.

Paris Fashion Week: Chanel Spring 2010 RTW


As if I haven't shared my love for Karl Lagerfeld enough already, he had to come out with yet another amazing collection.

The tweets from those lucky attendees of his Chanel Spring 2010 ready-to-wear show made me so excited I could hardly breathe. The Swiss Alps setting. The barnyard. Models emerging from haystacks. Lily Allen performing. Models dancing and rolling in hay. From the sounds of it, the Chanel show was a lot of FUN.

Lagerfeld somehow made hillybilly look chic, and even brought back those infamous clogs we wore back in the day.

My personal favs were the matching male/female outfits (only Karl could make this look cool), the black, grey and white oversized tweed coat, and the ruffled party dresses.

Rihanna
was in attendance (the front-row fixture of the season) and Prince also made an appearance.

Check out the looks below!
