FABTV: Chanel Cruise 2008

FabSugar — Mon, 21 May 2007 21:04:56 -0700

If you enjoyed all of our recent Chanel cruise collection coverage check out this Chanel video courtesy of our friends over at Chanel! Yes, we have friends over there at the Holy Grail of fashion. Here's an inside look at the super star studded event that took place at the Santa Monica airport last Friday.

Some of my highlights:

A fun, and oh so true quote from the master himself: "...It's all about perfect traveling and a private jet is a part of perfect traveling if you ask me."
A insightful quote from Ali Larter, winner of Battle of the Chanel: Lohan vs. Larter: "...it's the creme de la creme...every girl wants to own a piece...I just think that when you put it on you feel as beautiful as you can be."
The runway door opens, the Chanel Line rolls in, and hello Chanel cruise!

Battle of the Chanel: Lohan vs. Larter

Our last Chanel battle is a battle of bodacious blondes. Lindsay looks like a Chanel poster girl with her confidence, bubble hem and bad ass Chanel glovies. Ali looks sexy and sophisticated in her body-hugging high-waisted black skirt and layered necklaces. I can't decide so please do it for me! Who will win the final battle of the Chanel?!

Battle of the Chanel: Mendes vs. Alba

Ooh, this is kind of a tough one. I really like the color nude and Alba's frock is so sweet; but Mendes' white blouse and black skirt is so ladylike and the fit is perfect. Here's what gives Eva my vote: those black tights on Alba. I really don't think she needs them; those black Mary Jane's are all that's necessary to top off her look. I am really digging her 40s-inspired hair do though! Thoughts?

Battle of the Chanel: Harmon vs. Moore

Don't Angie and Demi sort of resemble one another with their wavy dark hair, olive skin and black-and-white Chanel ensembles? There's no doubt these two ladies look classy and beautiful, but I'd rather sport Demi's white dress and checkered jacket over Angie's black tulle skirt and white tank. Demi's outfit is more flattering and chic. Do you agree?

Battle of the Chanel: Olsen vs. Olsen

FabSugar — Mon, 21 May 2007 01:22:22 -0700

Here we have both of the enigmatic Olsen twins fully decked in Chanel. To me, there is a clear winner: Ashley (right). I love the peekaboo effect of being buttoned up and swimming in two-tone chains on top and showing off perfect legs on bottom. And those shoes? Fierce. As for Mary-Kate (left), she's swimming in her Chanel, not that I wouldn't mind swimming in Chanel, but you know what I mean. Oh but I love her little black-and-white spiral clutch! Which blonde twin has the most fab Chanel ensemble?

Cruise 2008: Chanel

FabSugar — Sun, 20 May 2007 23:30:33 -0700

The Chanel Line has taken off and boy do I wish I were in flight. Karl presented a youthful Resort collection of colorful Chanel duds to the top of female Hollywood society and it looks like there is plenty to go around.

A mix of satin, stripes, sequins, tweed and denim gave way to a sometimes utilitarian sometimes completely feminine collection. I love it when Karl uses color and his reds, blues and purples were fun and made nautical desirable all over again. Silhouettes were flowy and light and ready to take flight. There was either a lot of leg via mini skirts or a long strong female via wide-legged pants. All of this with layered chains and pearls, peep-toe boots and ultra-cool Chanel glovies will surely keep the jet set happy.

Are you ready to cruise some more? Bottega Veneta's 2010 Cruise collection has docked, and it brings us important lessons in colors and tailoring. The colors - purple, red, chocolate brown - aren't the norm for resort, but they're luscious nonetheless. Designer Tomas Maier took cues from the menswear line and delivered sleek tailoring with sporty undertones. Chanel Iman and Olga Sherer model tailored blazers, pleated trousers, draped tops, platform sandals, and glam bags. Does this collection float your boat? Click through then vote.

2010 Cruise: Chanel

FabSugar — Thu, 14 May 2009 15:40:31 -0700

Forget Cannes, the fashion action is in Venice. Or at least it was momentarily. Karl decided to show his 2010 Cruise collection in the sinking city of Venice (sad). And by the looks if it, it was nothing short of fabulous (not so sad). Inspired by Venetian high-society of the '30s, this collection is ultra elegant. And those Renaissance reds - definitely something a Venetian Dangerous Beauty would have worn. Gowns were slim and luxurious, cocktail dresses were dramatic, tweeds were ever-covetable, and a slight Spanish flair occurred via ruffles and lace. In keeping with the recent '90s Supermodel comeback, Tatjana Patitz closed the show, Karl in tow. One word: bellissima.

2009 Cruise: Chanel

FabSugar — Fri, 16 May 2008 13:00:22 -0700

There's no place like sizzling Miami, and Karl Lagerfeld thought the Raleigh Hotel would be the perfect setting for his latest Cruise collection. He was right. A lifeguard oversaw the posh audience, including Chanel muse Diane Kruger and sporty fashionista Anna Kournikova, as well as the fashion elite. And just in case there was any funny business, Chanel logo life preservers were bobbing about. For Karl, this show was “all about proportions, cuts, volumes. There is not one line that is taken all through the collection. For cruise, you don’t do that. There are many looks and an attitude.”

Oh, and the attitude; it was chipper amongst the synchronized swimmers and fierce amongst the models. The clothes were feathered, plasticized, and also synchronized. Black and white made a cameo as well as creamy neutrals and pretty pink - the pink knits were superb. The quirky accessories added humor and sporty touches added a slick element. To wit, the inspiration was Brian Jones, the troubled Rolling Stone who's dead body was found at the bottom of his pool in 1969. Fashion and irony, brilliant.
