CHANEL HANDBAGS & PURSES

I swear to you, I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen a picture of Heidi Montag without Spencer Pratt in it.  There is a Pratt and there is a Montag in these pictures, but they aren’t your usual suspects. In this case, Stephanie Pratt and Holly Montag are pictured strolling through the streets of LA, grabbing some Pinkberry after what I assume was a workout.

Sometimes I wish I didn’t know as much celeb gossip as I know, but oh well, it is what it is. Remember a little while back when Stephanie came forward about her eating disorder(s)? Well no matter what is going on now (and I certainly hope it isn’t disorder-induced) she is looking rather thin! And then there is Holly. It is a bit surprising that the once extremely vocal anti-Spencer Montag sister is pictured all buddy buddy with another Pratt. But hey, I won’t judge.

What I will judge is the fashion tragedy that I am witnessing. While I don’t make fun of workout attire, isn’t this a bit much? I mean, both of them should tone it down a bit. Stephanie is carrying a bag she’s actually designed herself and Holly is carrying a gorgeous white Chanel handbags. I mean, I *always* carry Chanel bags to the gym, don’t you?

I am starting to wonder which designer we are going to see the most of here on Bag that Style. Does anyone have any guesses? Once again I am writing about Chanel handbags. I don’t mind doing so because, well, I love Chanel. But this time, it was a bit difficult for me to identify this bag. Luckily our resident Chanel expert over on the  helped me out.

Sarah Jessica Parker is spotted here looking very NYC carrying her Chanel Reissue Flap. Clearly this bag doesn’t jump out and scream CHANEL but there is without a doubt something very identifiable about it. On the other hand, it is unique, edgy and very urban. I like seeing the switch up. While SJP’s style can be a bit eccentric, she is a person that can really pull it off. I’m totally digging her hat and shades just as much as the bag. I can’t wait to see what kind of fashionistas (or complete opposites) her kids turn into!

Lily Allen might be a bit of a hot mess, but to Karl Lagerfeld, she’s a muse! He’s just picked Lily to be the next face of Chanel. Elle UK states that it’s not all that surprising since Lily is always seated first row at his shows, and barely leaves the house without one of her Chanel handbags.

Lily will front the new handbag campaign, and the two will shoot next week in London. So why Lily?

Karl says, “She’s fun!”

Oh, she’s fun all right! And to Lily’s defense, she looks the most put-together we’ve ever seen her! Maybe being the face of the handbag line will motivate Lily to stay classy.

Karl Lagerfeld going for the young and fun girl poses the question: Is he trying to target a younger demographic? And if so, is he gonna target the younger demographics budget?

An average girl is not gonna be able to afford a $2500 especially at a time of an economic recession. Karl has previously mentioned that he doesn’t care to change his prices due to the economy, but has he had a change of heart?

Chanel have created a special Segway x2 designed by Chanel chief designer Karl Lagerfeld. The Chanel Segway is all black and features quilted leather fenders and handles.

Targeted at super-rich riders, the Chanel Segway is all set to become the urban personal transporter that gives as much fun as a car while looking as cool as a rollerblade.

With a range of 20km and an adaptation of the famous CHANEL 2.55, shopping couldn’t be more glamorous.

The “Mobile Art” exhibition of Chanel will début its worldwide tour in Hong Kong .

Resulting from a collaboration between Architect Zaha Hadid and Karl Lagerfeld this boundary-breaking project will tour from 2008 to 2010 from Hong Kong to Paris, Tokyo, New York, LA, London and finally Moscow.

The Chanel Contemporary Art Container – a collapsible, futuristic pavilion – is a celebration of Chanel’s cultural importance and displays the brand’s heritage in a new way.

Chanel commissioned fifteen internationally renowned contemporary artists to create works inspired by the iconic quilted Chanel 2.55 bag which was originally introduced by Coco Chanel in February 1955.

The form of the Chanel Pavilion is a celebration of the iconic work of Chanel, unmistakable for its smooth layering of exquisite details that together create an elegant, cohesive whole.

The resulting structure is very much tied to that original inspiration—elegant, functional, and versatile both in its overall structure and detail.
