>> The Chanel Cruise 2010 show is coming up this Thursday, and already people are in a packing panic. Style.com's Derek Blasberg tweets, "What does one wear to dinner with Karl on the Lido in Venice? WHAT? High collar? Heels? Ponytail? Wait, am I a tranny?" Grazia's style director Paula Reed is also preparing for takeoff. But Karl Lagerfeld, who made a quick stop-off yesterday at his Saint Tropez villa Ramatuelle for a Purple Fashion shoot with his new muse Baptiste Gianiconi, has already arrived in Venice, Goyard travel cases in tow, and brought Olivier Zahm along to document it all — including the Chanel logo-ed motorboat taxi that was waiting for them.

>> THE MODELIZER —So perfect since we were talking about her return earlier: Olivier Zahm just posted a video of Terry Richardson shooting Natasa Vojnovic for the new Purple Fashion — the one with DVF in wig coat on the cover — and it is like something out of a movie — she crawls across the floor, dances around, twirls, and then walks off the set; amazing.

>> IN PRODUCTION —Joining us in the online world: Opening Ceremony, which just opened their e-commerce site in an effort to go move outsider of just New York and Los Angeles, stocking Alexander Wang, Boy by Band of Outsiders, and of course, their own coveted label; and Purple Fashion founder Olivier Zahm, who started a blog: "It’s my life, online."

>> BLOWING THE COVER —Olivier Zahm's Purple Fashion never ceases to surprise and delight — no hints at the contents of the Spring 2009 issue yet, but Diane von Furstenberg is on the cover, rocking a leotard and wiggy Margiela coat. Diane's thoughts on the matter? “How embarassing at my age to be in fishnet stockings on the cover of a hip young magazine? I was seduced into a day with Terry Richardson, it was a lot of fun!” [Purple, Inside DVF]
