Chanel Liquidated!

July 13, 2009 |


No, its not business related. Anonymous French contemporary artist, Zevs, was arrested in Hong Kong on July 13th, 2009 at around 3:48 am for liquidating the Chanel logo on the facade of Chater House in Central. The artist is widely known for dripping logos of big brands such has LV, Chanel and others and he was an early influential graffiti artist. His works have been popular that it was discussed whether it was vandalism or art.

Photographed by Karl Lagerfeld, here are the photos for the Chanel Cruise 2009/10 ad campaign with models Karen Elson and Baptiste Giabiconi. With Venice as its main inspiration, the dim-lighted concept captured the essence of the Venetian lifestyle and Italian Spirit.


Black and white stripes, suited-sailor theme, and the lovely Venetian setting, that would be the whole definition of what Karl Lagerfeld did to the resort collection of Chanel. With inspiration coming from Tatjana Patitz's son, Tadzio in the novel "Death in Venice", the cardigans, shorts and the well tailored suits defined a modern sailor paddling through the water ways of Venice. Synonymous to a love story, two lovers wouldn't get a happy ending without an antagonist, just like Lagerfeld's use of the infamous color tandem of black and white, the red seems to be contrasting yet stunning that made me think of what red had symbolize in the 1971 film.
