>> Ines de la Fressange, who was exclusively signed by Karl Lagerfeld in 1983 as the living embodiment of Chanel, and stayed that way until 1990, when she broke her contract over an argument with Lagerfeld in which he proclaimed he didn't want to 'dress a monument,' is back in good graces at the house. “She is beyond stunning,” Lagerfeld said of de la Fressange. “Also, she is the Parisienne.” The 53-year-old is set to walk the Chanel runway on Oct. 5; she will then appear in the subsequent Chanel Spring 2011 campaign alongside 39-year-old Stella Tennant and 22-year-old Freja Beha Erichsen, to be shot in the south of France.
