Karl Lagerfeld: Still Bobbing Along for Numero September 2008

fashionologie — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 13:40:21 -0700

>> Two things are for sure: Karl Lagerfeld is still loving black and white photography and those bobs — he's used them for his Fall 2008 Chanel couture show, the Fall 2008 Fendi ads, the Fall 2008 Chanel ads, and now he's put Karmen Pedaru in one alongside Heidi Mount and Vlada Roslyakova. The three girls feature in "La Couture," a film noir-inspired couture editorial he photographed for Numero #96. Don't worry, it's not all Chanel couture, but those three must be his go-to couture girls — they seem like Karl's types, and they were all in Chanel's most recent couture show.

“

I much prefer glasses: they're my portable eye shadow. I hate it when people can look me in the eye.

>> After the synchronized swimming extravaganza and pool-suspended runway at Chanel Resort 2009, it seems like fashion is having a watery moment.

The next edition in the series? "Agua caliente," styled by Samuel Francois, pulled from Numero 94. Coco Rocha works it in the small confines of a bathtub, producing images saturated with color.

>> Jean Paul Gaultier's Spring 2008 couture mermaid dresses are still going strong — almost a month after we chatted about their unlikely success on the red carpet, a new group has popped up in magazine editorials. From Vogue's May 2008 "Daring Do" with Coco Rocha (top left) to Numero's June/July 2008 "Eaux Profondes" (top right) to V's May/June 2008 "In Your Dreams" (bottom), the gowns continue to inspire.
