aleXsandro Palombo has a sense of humour -and he likes to apply it to the fashionably famous. His blog Humor Chic is worth a visit. Not least to sea Karl morph into an alien and Anna Wintour get crowned Miss Vogue Editor- again.

First Karl Lagerfeld gets a walk on role in Grand Theft Auto IV, now its Heidi Klum’s turn. Aspirant designers will get to prep in a game format before they try their luck on the box. Project Runway is getting its own Wii Game. Get those pins and needles cracking folks.

BTW thanks to Thys Dullart for cartoonifying Heidi for me ….
No more witch – nun’s the word for Emma Watson in the Karl Lagerfeld shoot for Crash magazine.
I like the eyebrow treatment.

Channeling Death in Venice – oh dear what a bad pun but what a setting for Karl Lagerfeld’s Chanel Cruise collection? So excuse my poor wit and look at the rest of the slide show here

BTW – Can’t help but snicker at the troubled shodding conditions for the guests however…
Whilst Jerry Hall is happy to recline with Baptiste Giabiconi for Karl Lagerfeld it’s not a situation she would want to replicate outside the realms of a Chanel accessories collection advertisment campaign. It seems that Jerry has not found Jesus. Unlike Madge, although I would argue that Baptiste could convert anyone. Apparently the shoot is inspired by Cheri, the romantic novel by Colette, which tells the tale of a prostitute of a certain age who is pursued by a young man who is in madly in love with her.

Here’s a little celluloid number I am anticipating – Coco Before Chanel, (scheduled for a mid-2009 release)
Directed by Anne Fontaine the film stars Audrey Tautou as a young Coco. Naturally Karl Lagerfeld is in charge of wardrobe. Apparently Chanel made a concerted effort to bury her past but prurient cinephiles will get to watch it all in technicolour. Incidentally Audrey is soon succeeding Nicole Kidman as the face of Chanel No. 5. Read Vanity Fair’s Amy Fine Collins for more.

“Bears are very nice, as long as you are nice to them.” is the word from Mr Lagerfeld – but he qualifies his feelings for stuffed creatures with the following statement “Nothing scares me more than people with some doll collection. Frightening.”
Thankfully only 2,500 limited-edition bears launched at Neiman Marcus this month and so he can rest assured that each bear doppelganger right down to the little fingerless driving gloves will go to a limited following and perchance this will be the only doll they ever venture to buy for $1500 after that imperious declaration.

I think this is so amusing – the iconic Mr Lagerfeld will be one of the game’s radio station D.J.s. After all the pony tailed fellow traded in his fan forover 70 iPods and 60,000 CDs. About his latest collaboration he said ” They are the games of our times. Those games in a way changed the world…. They had written a politically incorrect dialogue… I loved it, [particularly] in a time when everybody wants to be so politically correct when they talk…I prefer to be in a video than to play with it. I would love to be a very nasty, politically incorrect character.”
