>> ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL —Lily Allen was a fixture at Chanel's show in March, and it seems that Karl Lagerfeld's quite taken with her — he's just named her to replace Jerry Hall as the Fall 2009 face of Chanel handbags, explaining, "She's fun." Given that the gig got Hall re-signed to Ford Models, it definitely opens up the fashion arena for Allen, given that the shoot next week in London goes well. [Elle UK, WWD]

Quote Of The Day: Isaac Mizrahi Talks About His Childhood
When I was a little kid I was like a female impersonator.
When I was a little kid I was like a female impersonator. I used to do Judy Garland impersonations, and Marlene Dietrich impersonations, Streisand impersonations. It was crazy. And I used to have this following in the community where I grew up, in Brooklyn. And I was this little freak. People used to stop me on the street, the same way they do now - "Oh, I love you, I think it's so funny that you can actually sound exactly like Dionne Warwick." This was before my voice changed, right? And it was always, "Oh, you're fabulous," but then, "Ha-ha, what a freak." That's what it was. And it feels the same now. Whenever anyone on the street says, "Oh, you're so great, I love your work," it always feels like they're with a gang of kids down the block, calling me a freak. It's this weird dynamic that has always existed in my life. So when people say, "Oh, you're this personality," that's what I've always been and always will be.
