Heidi Mount Grabs Chanel Resort 2008, Maybe Spring 2009 Too?

fashionologie — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 12:44:08 PDT

>> Karl Lagerfeld has a new favorite blonde, and her name isn't Claudia Schiffer. Meet Heidi Mount, who opened and closed Chanel's Spring 2009 presentation and is now appearing in the house's Resort 2008 campaign, shot by none other than Lagerfeld himself.

Rumors are flying that after three Claudia Schiffer campaigns (Resort 2007, Spring 2008, Fall 2008), Karl Lagerfeld is ready for some new blood - and Heidi might just be the right choice: He did personally give her some freebies after the Spring 2009 show, after all, and the Resort campaign portends well.

It does seem plausible that Karl would be ready to switch it up, he tends to use a different model every year (Claudia for 2008, Freja Beha Erichsen did Fall 2007 and Spring 2007, and before that he really liked Daria Werbowy, who did Spring 2005, Fall 2005, Spring 2006, and Fall 2006). So if the pattern continues, and Heidi is the girl - that means she would not only do Spring 2009 but be a likely contender for Fall 2009 as well. Two seasons at Chanel would be quite the grab.

Chanel's Spring 2009 Mystery Girl Revealed

fashionologie — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 09:53:50 PST

>> After Chanel's bow bootie, flowy skirted Spring 2009 ad teaser appeared earlier this month, the big reveal is finally here, and Resort 2008 face Heidi Mount is continuing her house reign. It's a fitting choice, since she opened and closed the Spring 2009 show. The campaign also gives us our first look at the interior of Karl Lagerfeld's newly purchased Vermont home, though unfortunately it looks like it was photographed pre-furniture installation.
