Chanel S/S 2013 Campaign - A nod to the 60s...

Chanel Spring/Summer 2013 with Stella Tennant, Ondria Hardin & Yumi Lambert by Karl Lagerfeld (via Before You Kill Us All)

I can't tell you how much I absolutely love this campaign. It's basically how I want my flat, and actually there are some similarities. Once eveything is all up together and looking a bit tidier I'll take some photos and show you around!

J'adore... and it reminds me of Wildfox White Label's lookbook, just a little more sophisticated.

The traditional snail mail letter head seems to be replaced by their electronic counterparts - the blog banner. I prefer the paper approach so let's not make letter writing redundant just yet. (via Letterheady)

Karl Meets Kandinsky

Chanel Spring 2012 Collection - Paris Fashion Week (via Fashion Gone Rogue)

It would seem that Karl Lagerfeld has followed suit and much like Rodarte has looked towards Modern Art for inspiration, this time in the Russian Expressionist style of Wassily Kandinsky. See what I mean?

Peggy Guggenheim

The iconic art collector has long been a fascination of mine. From writing my dissertation on her played down influence on Jackson Pollock to her collection in Venice, in which, along with the 2007 Biennale, became the saviours of my sanity during the three months I lived there. There's only so many churches I can enthuse over.

It appears that fashion too has taken an interest in the somewhat eccentrically dressed, wild spirited character. POP magazine has dedicated the current issue to her...

Karl Lagerfeld's 2009 shoot for US Harpers Bazaar sees Lara Stone dripping in Guggenheim-esq glamour.

A nod towards Guggenheim was evident in last year's Chanel Cruise Collection as well as this Spring's Milly catwalks...

Once again her influence will filter through to next season with Kinder Aggugini's A/W Collection...
