Karl Lagerfeld
2009 Fall Couture: Chanel
As an ode to simple elegance, Karl kept his Chanel Fall couture collection long and lean with sophisticated strapless gowns, classic suiting, and highly embellished frocks. The designer's play on peek-a-boo with an abundance of mesh, lace tights, and high/low hemlines shows off legs in a slightly naughty manner. Sequins and beading also made an appearance in the form of glittering dresses, which were reminiscent of the '80s and '90s.
Fab Blab: Karl Shoots Down Retirement Rumors . . . Again
As you know, there have been rumors swirling about Karl Lagerfeld stepping down from his Chanel throne and Alber Elbaz stepping in. The New York Times' fashion writer Cathy Horyn spoke to Karl hours before his couture show, and let it be known, he isn't going anywhere:

First Look: Lily Allen For Chanel
As we eagerly await Lily Allen's Chanel debut for the new Chanel Coco Cocoon handbag line in October, let's satiate our hunger with this cool behind-the-seams peek.

Sneak Peek! Chanel Accessories, Fall '09

Fab Ad: Chanel Pre-Fall '09
Chanel's Pre-Fall '09 collection was opulent to the max — it was, after all, inspired by Russia — so the ad campaign had no choice but to follow suit. And who better than Russian model Sasha Pivovarova to show off her rich roots? Karl Lagerfeld served as photographer, as he likes to do.
Would You Be Sad to See Karl Leave Chanel?

However, if the rumours are true he is to stand down as Lanvin's Alber Elbaz steps in to his shoes, and Olivier Theyskens will take Albert's place at Lanvin.
Chanel's Exquisite Ballerina
How many feathers does it take to make a custom tutu for ballet sensation Elena Glurdjidze? Over 2,500. Dang.
