Clip of the Day

"Fitting Room Follies" is a short film by Karl Lagerfeld starring Lara Stone and Baptiste Giabiconi. The film is kinda boring. I wouldn't be blogging about it if it's not because of Baptiste, who is everywhere in Karl's life at this moment. I guess somewhere in CHANEL Headquarter, Sébastien Jondeau and Brad Koenig are green with envy.

CHANEL Pre-Fall 2010

I think it's kinda redundant to say Karl Lagerfeld adores Baptiste Giabiconi. On the latest CHANEL Paris-Shanghai Pre-Fall 2010 runway show, Baptiste was the only male model on the runway. Enough said...

Attached at the Hip

Not only Baptiste Giacobini is crowned #1 spot at Model.com, you can also see his face everywhere - from runway to fashion magazines. The interesting thing is wherever you see him, you'll see Karl's name attached to it. I guess it's good to be under Karl's wing..

Little House of CHANEL

I think I just like CHANEL more every day, is it because of my age ??? I can't really pinpoint why I like this collection which may be based on "The little house of prairie" - because it looks young & fresh or because of the constant use of Baptiste Giabiconi ?? And Karl, thanks for bringing the "Clogs" back.

Shoplifted at CHANELs

Lara Stone and Baptiste Giabiconi play "Bonnie and Clyde" in a high fashion way. They shoplifted through a series of CHANEL boutiques, which is parts of a short film, shot by Karl Lagerfeld.

Catch of the Day

The first catch of 2009 is a new face from DNA model management - Baptiste Giabiconi. He will appear along side Jerry Hall in a new CHANEL handbag campaign inspired by Colette's Chéri novel, about the relationship between a young man and a woman almost twice his age. He's also featured in recent ten-minute silent short film about Coco Chanel.

Cool Ads

Cougar gone wild !!!
Jerry Hall, 52 year old, looks absolutely gorgeous for new CHANEL ads campaign along side with Karl's new favorite - Baptiste Giabiconi. SOURCE

WTF

Here is the first commercial of Magnum Ice Cream starring Rachel Bilson and Baptiste Giabiconi; directed by Karl Lagerfeld. I think this concept is old... If without Rachael's or Karl's names attached to this, no one would pay any attention to it. Judge for yourself...

Is It 2010 Already ??

Karl Lagerfeld presents his CHANEL Resort 2010 collection on a boardwalk snaking along the Venice Lido, he called it "Coco on the Lido." I love the fact that Karl always includes his "male muses" (Brad Koenig, Sebastien Jondeau, Baptiste Giabiconi) in most of his shows.

But oops, did style.com just called this male model Sebastien Jondeau ?

The real Sebastien please stand up...
