Great video documenting the process of creating the giant lion at the Chanel Fall Winter 2010 – 2011 Haute Couture fashion show.

Video is in for the Chanel Haute Couture – Fall 2010 collection. Now I can see the Lion in full effect.
It’s a very mature Chanel collection. The ladies that can afford it are happy I’m sure. The set is killer. I love Chanel for always going over the top. Freja’s final look is amazing.
The Chanel Fall 2010 Haute Couture was a suit lovers paradise. Only a few pieces caught my eye but the main star was the Lion. Coco Chanel was a Leo so Karl when with it.

You saw the Remember Now Chanel Cruise 2011 video now see the video of the Cruise fashion show. What a spectacle it is. Perfect setting for a cruise collection fashion show.
I also enjoyed this short film focusing on the accessories and details of the collection.
I rediscovered the Chanel Fall 2010 – 2011 ice-cube bags because of a series called Object Fetish on the site Showstudio.com.
Examining key pieces from next seasons international collections, Object Fetish trains obsessive attention onto next seasons not-so-obscure objects of desire – namely the choicest accessories from fashions favourite names, metaphorically unpicked through film and text.
The series is quite good and I love the in-depth discussion around the objects. View the Object Fetish: Chanel Handbag video.
Edit: I found the video on YouTube
This show was so overwhelming with the glacier and the faux fur all over the place. I didn’t notice any of the accessories. The video really worked up my handbag lust. I love the idea of these bags. They make me laugh because they are so ridiculous, but at the same time I’d love to own one. I enjoy that combination of absurdity and lust. I can’t wait to see these in the stores.
I learned some interesting facts from the Showstudio video about Chanel.
Chanel is one of the very few houses that is entirely privately owned rather than managed by a luxury goods conglomerate, and the house is consistently profitable. This is not just through traditional leaders such as perfume, but accessories, clothing and even the haute couture division at Chanel turns a profit.(source)

Remember Now, the short film by Karl Lagerfeld for the Chanel Cruise 2011 collection looked slick and the clothes were oh so pretty but it was empty. It was a 16 minute short film that didn’t evoke an emotional reaction from me that wasn’t related to clothing. That’s too bad. The film nerd in me can’t deal with the stupid continuity issues either.
I liked having all this media to consume from Chanel about the cruise 2011 collection. It’s always some grand spectacle to take a gawk at. The collection photos are up already and I’m loving about a quarter of the collection and going WTF for a quarter of it. The rest is meh. There are 80+ LOOKS!!! The first 8 looks put me in a good mood and then it when up and down. Some of the white and black stuff I liked and most of the 70s stuff I wasn’t a fan of. WWD has the full collection posted and you can see it on The Fashion Spot. I can’t wait for video.
Bravo for the best use of Crystal Renn on the runway I’ve seen lately. She looked incredible and the clothing looked stunning.
I’ve totally bought into Remember Now, the short film by Karl Lagerfeld for the Chanel Cruise 2011 collection. The video does look pretty slick and inviting. I can’t wait to see the whole film.
