Toyota C-HR by Karl Lagerfeld

Karl Lagerfeld was one of the most iconic fashion designers during his lifetime. His iconic black and white attire and distinctive style during every season always left a mark on fashion. Recently, Toyota Thailand decided to offer a limited edition version of C-HR by Karl Lagerfeld.

To be honest, I have no clue about what a C-HR is and what it does. From the looks of it, it looks like it is one of the hybrid SUV, coupe, and sedan vehicles. People love it, and the company is making it. I have no comment.

Anyway, the Karl Lagerfeld edition of the C-HR looks far better than the original, and it has a distinctive look and feel. Sadly, this edition is only available in the Thai market. I am sure that it would be worth giving this vehicle a try in the European markets.

Chanel, Once Upon A Time by Karl Lagerfeld with Keira Knightley

Chanel, Once Upon A Time by Karl Lagerfeld. For many people Chanel brand is strongly associated with the iconic perfume, No.5 and a story of success. However, Chanel brand did not start with a sonic boom like we experience with every new brand. And Karl Lagerfeld made a short-film to celebrate Chanel’s 100th anniversary of their first boutique in Deauville Normandy. Coco Chanel is played by Keira Knightley.
The short film is fantastic and Chanel shows us how to use YouTube and create your own channel that features really high quality content. Also, high quality content need big budget, never forget this!

The Third Generation MINI is Coming // New New New MINI

The third generation MINI coming! Actually, the present MINI is the new one. I mean Frank Stephenson designed the new MINI. And we call the MINI that we spot on the street as the new MINI. However when the product lifecycle of the new MINI came to an end, BMW revealed another new MINI. Thus, the second generation MINI is the new New MINI and the new New MINI is going to be replaced soon and the third generation will be new new New MINI. And this conversation goes forever and it will be as senseless as the chicken and egg dilemma. 
Literally, Frank Stephenson designed the new MINI. And BMW revised the new MINI and created the second generation and now they revised again and third generation is going to be available. And sorry for the confusing and non-sense new MINI conversation :)
And if you are thinking who is Frank Stephenson, here is my interview with him :) Moreover, if you are interested to cars and have no idea who is Frank, this is similar to: I love fashion so much, but I never heard of Karl Lagerfeld. I am not joking, I heard this sentence from a fashion designer student!

Chanel: Karl Lagerfeld’s Spring 2013 Couture (Updated with Video)

Karl Lagerfeld’s Spring 2013 Couture for Chanel collection recently revealed. As I am not a fashion expect, I cannot criticise the collection in-depth. But I can say one thing, Lagerfeld is inspired by the nature, especially from the trees. 
As you can see very clearly, all the collection has bits from the nature. And this makes a bit contradiction. Because, Lagerfeld drives a Porsche Cayenne (I don’t whether he still drives or not) and Cayenne and nature do not match perfectly with each other.
Who knows may be Lagerfeld shifted to an electric car and the inspiration came from there.
Note: Karl Lagerfeld is the design director of Chanel.

Karl Lagerfeld and Rolls Royce: A Different View

Karl Lagerfeld and Rolls Royce. Collaboration of two iconic brands, A Different View. Rolls Royce photographed by Karl Lagerfeld.

Karl Lagerfeld; if you don’t this name, you have no idea of what is fashion. This is a very bold statement but this is the truth. Karl Lagerfeld is one of the most influential fashion designer. And never heard of his name is like never heard of Bill Gates and using a computer.

Lagerfeld always prefers black from head to toe coupled with sunglasses.

In my opinion, Lagerfeld has the most iconic personal style in fashion industry and probably no one can replace his style. He is a living icon. His personal style is also reflected on his collection, black and white completed with grey details.

Moreover, Karl Lagerfeld is also a professional photographer. Unlike many people, he uses professional camera to take professional photos. We all know that, nowadays anyone who buys a digital SLR, assume that I am a professional photographer! But not with Karl Lagerfeld.

A Different View is the latest work of Karl Lagerfeld. He photographed Rolls Royce Phantom and Drophead from his perspective. Lagerfeld interpreted the Rolls Royce cars from this fashion perspective. Black and white completed with metallic grey details.

And I hope that Karl Lagerfeld does not own the first generation Porsche Cayenne anymore :)

Unfortunately, I didn’t have chance to attend this event. Usually, I don’t mind if I didn’t have chance to attend an event. But this time it is different, Rolls Royce and Karl Lagerfeld. I really envy people who had opportunity to attend this unique event.

Luxury iPhone 5 Cases from Net-A-Porter

Apple iPhone 5, it did not generate the same sensation that we experienced with iPhone 4 two years ago. For many people iPhone 5 is the lighter and taller version of iPhone 4, which I agree as well. Apple did not go for a radical change in the design. And I don’t understand why, whatever Apple produces, people will buy it. They could have introduced a more radical design rather than a taller new iPhone.

When we have a new iPhone, it is always followed by new cases and sleeves to make our iPhone personalised. Because, iPhone is only offered either black or white. The room for personalisation is really limited. Therefore, iPhone cases and sleeves provides you the opportunity to personalise your iPhone and also keep it new!

I did some research and found some luxury iPhone 5 cases. Unfortunately, these cases and sleeves are not cheap but not as expensive as iPad cases! But they are luxury and many people cannot have it, that’s the advantage of owning one!

Karl Lagerfeld £75
Stella McCartney Faux Suede £165
Miu Miu £120

MCQ Alexander McQueen £50
Jimmy Choo £135
Alaia £180
Bottega Veneta £215

Chanel’s New Giant Handbag

Chanel recently revealed a new handbag during Paris Fashion Week; I mean if you define this object as hand bag you may define the new McLaren P1 as an UFO. Anyway, Chanel’s new hang bag is constructed inside a huge circle, which makes it extremely unergonomic to use. 
However, in fashion ergonomics are not matter of issues like in automotive. So, I wouldn’t be surprised if some people rush to this huge handbag and pay five-digit price tag without any hesitation. And it is designed by Karl Lagerfeld.

Audi A What

As we all know that cars do not have the technology to be in stealth mode. Especially luxury brands, it is nearly impossible to ignore them. I am sure that, if it is possible to have stealth mode in cars, it won’t work with luxury brands. They are theoretically and practically impossible to ignore. They are designed for this; they have to show their price, reflect the wealth of the customer and diversify their selves from the other cars at any condition.
Unfortunately, this theory does not work with new Audi “A What?” model. Audi did not reveal a new model called “A What”. Actually new A6 is the A What? New Audi A6 is nearly impossible to be identified at anytime and mostly at night! Last week I saw a new A6 and I wasn’t sure whether it is the new one or not.
It looks the same as A4, similar to A8 but you can diversify by their size (Hopefully!). Front look is a photocopy of A4, it does not look big and it does not look really different from the previous model. I know it offers lots of new technologies and nice interior but exterior is not that good. I was expecting to see something really sensational but it is just a interpretation of A4 and old A6, that’s all.
Mercedes E Class, BMW 5 Series and Jaguar XF look much much better than the new A6. And this proofs that, Audi targets to a new market! People who want to own luxury cars but do not wish to be spotted! Here it is the new Audi A6, the best way to go stealth mode.
Karl Lagerfeld has a bag, which say “Karl who?” Because many people gives that reaction, when you say his name. And he found a very nice solution to this. I think A6 should have a package like this, A What Package with matte black, black wheel, black leather and extreme matte black car cover!
