Karl Lagerfeld is shooting Chanel’s spring 2013 campaign here in the big apple–and he’s cast familiar face Stella Tennant (who fronted Chanel’s fall 2012 campaign) as well as fresh face Ondria Hardin, WWD is reporting.
But while Hardin may be new to the fashion industry, her name already has considerable buzz around it–and not necessarily the good kind.
Here it is: The full Victoria Beckham editorial for French Elle, shot by Karl Lagerfeld himself in Coco Chanel’s famous Paris apartment.
At 79, most people are at least considering retiring–but not Karl Lagerfeld. The almost-octagerian is working more than ever–designing helicopters, decorating hotels and designing over 10 collections a year–and he has no plans of slowing down…ever. Why?
“If I do [retire], I’ll die and it’ll all be finished,” the designer told Edie Campbell during an interview for Vogue TV (which we saw on Vogue UK). Yikes.
The Chanel hula hoop bag may have been the most talked about accessory to hit the runway this season. After seeing it, many wondered–why is it so big? Does it fold out into a bicycle? Can it be used as a chic lean-to in inclement weather? Well, Karl Lagerfeld himself decided to clear the issue up.
Speaking in a video interview with the Telegraph Lagerfeld said:

The launch of Carine Roitfeld’s new magazine, CR Fashion Book, is mere days away (it hits newsstands on September 13), and in addition to all the teasers and previews we’ve gotten, today brings two new meaty Carine interviews, complete with new peeks at the cover and editorials. We’re starting to wonder…have we seen the whole mag at this point? No matter. We like what we see.
From models getting peed on to Carine’s supposed beef with Conde Nast (and being banned from using their photogs) here’s everything we know about CR without having ever actually laid eyes on it.
Ever wonder what a day in the life is like as Karl Lagerfeld’s pampered pet, Choupette? Well, if this Net-a-Porter video is any indication, it’s pretty darn sweet.

Choupette has been very busy these days. First she landed herself a 13-photo spread in the recent issue of i-D, and now she’s gone and scored another major fashion editorial in the same week.
