>> 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.

>> 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]

>> Christophe Lemaire Hints That His Hermes Collections Won't Make Women Look Like "Luxury Prostitutes" -Christophe Lemaire has yet to debut a collection for Hermes - and it won't come until the Fall 2011 season - but he has offered a hint in the direction he'll be going: he loves "real quality, timelessness, simplicity, and classicism . . . Until very recently, high-fashion women were like luxury prostitutes. Now there is a need for a more authentic and dignified style . . . I think being transgressive today is being classical. To pretend to dress as a punk and take cocaine and have sex orgies has just become common now - there's nothing transgressive about that. The fashion pages, like Purple magazine, are just a joke."

Karl Lagerfeld Captures Muse Baptiste Giabiconi Au Naturel for Two Magazines

fashionologie — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 16:29:44 PDT

>> The Karl Lagerfeld-Baptiste Giabiconi collaborations keep rolling in: In the new Purple Fashion, Karl captured his male Gisele Bundchen in black stiletto heels as the Helmut Newton woman (left) - including one full-on backside shot (NSFW) that has created quite a stir. Purple founder Olivier Zahm posted a video of the shoot, in which Baptiste poses with a giraffe while Karl switches from snapping him with a professional camera to with a camera phone.

Lagerfeld was also asked to guest edit a cover and editorial for the October 2009 issue of Wallpaper. For his cover, Lagerfeld photographed a seemingly Dior Homme-clothed Baptiste, but he added a layer of paper to the magazine which can be peeled off to reveal Giabiconi naked. His 27-page editorial inside also focuses on Baptiste - in locales such as the Queen’s Theater in Versailles.
