Former Chanel Face Estella Warren Arrested

>> Estella Warren, a former Victoria's Secret model and face of Chanel No. 5, was arrested Monday night in LA for driving under the influence of alcohol. "Warren hit three parked cars in what was considered three separate collisions," according to a rep for the LA sheriff's department. The 32-year-old model failed to stop for police when they tried to pull her over near her home and later physically assaulted an officer. "She was uncooperative and demanding," the rep says. "She removed her handcuffs and fled the police station. She was captured and transported back." Warren — who appeared as Little Red Riding Hood in a series of Chanel No. 5 television commercials directed by Luc Besson in 1998 — was booked on a $100,000 bail following her arrest for hit and run, felony escape, and DUI.

Chanel Launches New Boy Bag Collection for Fall 2011
>> Coming this Fall, a whole new line of Chanel bags to covet.
>> Coming this Fall, a whole new line of Chanel bags to covet. Based on a hunting cartridge style originally carried by Coco Chanel herself, the new Chanel Boy bags are made to embody the androgynous charm the designer was known for.
“Chanel used men’s underwear to make dresses; she had this boyish attitude, in fact it is the very spirit of Chanel. She got it from Boy Capel, the great love of her life, which, incidentally, explains why the new bag is called the Boy Chanel,” Karl Lagerfeld explains of his inspiration. Available in a pared-down palette of red, grey, and ivory, these glazed calfskin clutches, purses, and totes range from $2500 to $4300 and hit Chanel boutiques in September.

>> Couture and Roitfelds galore populated last night's amfAR's Cinema Against AIDS Gala, held as part of the Cannes festivities at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Cap d’Antibes. Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld and their significant others (Robert Konjic and Giovanna Battaglia, respectively) were hosted by Peter Dundas at the Emilio Pucci table, while Carine Roitfeld — and Naomi Campbell, Dasha Zhukova, Kristen McMenamy, and Courtney Love — came decked out in Givenchy. Chanel, too, dressed a host of ladies for the event — including Charlotte Casiraghi, Kirsten Dunst, and Karolina Kurkova — which set a new record, raising more than $10 million for AIDS research (the cost per plate was reportedly $10,000, after all).
