MAKING OF THE READY-TO-WEAR CAMPAIGN

A HOUSE IN VERMONT

As soon as Karl Lagerfeld saw the house in Vermont he knew he had found the setting for the next Chanel ad campaign.
It is a typical New England wooden house, set on the banks of Lake Champlain, with a severe and puritan look that makes
it seem like the house has been frozen in the mid 19th century. As the designer put it: "I love this house, it is so Emily Dickinson," referring to the tormented romanticism of the American poet from Massachusetts whose work went unrecognized during her lifetime. [ More ]

THE FIRST MOVIE BY KARL LAGERFELD

COCO 1913 - CHANEL 1923

At a time when several movies about Mademoiselle Chanel's life are being made, Karl Lagerfeld adds his personal touch by
directing his first movie for the Paris-Moscou show. The designer was behind every detail: from the script to the set, as well as
the casting and the editing. [ More ]

READY-TO-WEAR CAMPAIGN

HARLEM SHUFFLE

For this collection's campaign, Claudia Schiffer gave up her legendary blonde hairstyle: Karl Lagerfeld was not afraid to turn
her into a modern Louise Brooks, short black hair, snow white skin, lace stockings covering long legs, and a delicate 20's
look. The photo shoot took place in an authentic Harlem brownstone, still full of the historical atmosphere of the neighborhood,
formerly dedicated to jazz music. [ More ]

THE FEATHER PLASTRON

PARIS-LONDRES COLLECTION

Photo by Karl Lagerfeld

For the Paris-Londres collection, the house of Desrues made
this spectacular golden feathers plastron. It is with his unique
Métiers d'Art collection that Karl Lagerfeld is able to preserve
and promote traditional know-how, using these increasingly
rare artisans to enhance his creation. Behind the scenes of a
meticulous project which takes over ten days of labor and
results in a capelet of feathers delicately articulating along
a woman's décolleté. [ More ]

It was in the empty rooms of this vast six-bedroom house that the designer photographed Heidi Mount — the 21-year-old American model from Salt Lake City who opened the 2009 Spring-Summer Ready-to-Wear show.
Karl Lagerfeld has also said that the campaign shots are inspired by the work of the Danish painter Vilhelm Hammershoi, whose austere interiors with sunlight flooding in through the sash windows are the backdrop for silent feminine meditations.
