Fab Ad: Christy Turlington for Chanel

March 10, 2008

First Claudia Schiffer and now Christy Turlington . . . Chanel is turning to the original supermodels to rep their brand this Spring. Christy was photographed by Karl Lagerfeld himself specifically for the launch of a new Spring handbag — the "East-West Bag," which is available starting this month. I think she looks beautiful, in very classic Chanel in black and white. Do you agree?

Classy, truly beautiful and lovely as always. To my eyes perfect. Even with that hair style I do not like AT ALL! :-)

Thank you so much Karl for using a model older than...12. Or whatever it is they are these days.

I agree with the above comments about bringing back the supermodels of the early 90s. There is no substitute for Christy, Cindy, Naomi, and incomparable Linda. Bravo, Karl!

Christy is so beautiful, elegant and sophisticated, a real supermodel! They should bring the 90's type of model back. I'm also sick of the hole androgynous trend.
