Baptiste has a Friend

Karl Lagerfeld's number one guy, Baptiste Giabiconi, has a magical ability to transform himself into a teen-heartthrob. There was the Chace Crawford and there was also the Zac Efron. But for A/W 2010 it seems Baptiste is just being Baptiste, and to be honest he isn't really my type, the hair reminds me of Peter Andre, circa Mysterious Girl.
But Karl has generously provided Baptiste with a male friend, Brad Koenig, who is very yummy indeed. He looks very American, and I have a thing for American men.



But onto the actual collection, wasn't it insane? The fact that Karl had an iceberg shipped in from Scandinavia for the runway makes me love him even more. And it appears the trend for Gorilla-Fashion isn't over, as the models all wore Gorilla-like boots. It is important to note that all the fur in the collection was fake. According to Karl you can be chic in fake fur but "you cannot fake chic."



I find with Chanel collections the style.com images don't really get the message across, you need to see the details. So here is a fab video of the collection:



What did you think of the fake fur? The iceberg? And, of course, Brad?

Pick a Side - Team Crawford or Team Efron

You may remember back at the A/W Couture collections when Lara Stone took the final walk at Chanel she was arm-in-arm with Baptiste Giabiconi. And he looked freakishly like Chace Crawford. For the finale of the S/S 10 Chanel Couture collection he's back - at least I'm pretty sure it's Baptiste again, isn't it?
Only this time he is looking like Zac Efron.




Now Chace and Zac may seem very similar, they are both pretty Hollywood boys with perfect eyebrows, but I know better than anyone when it comes to the Efron/Crawford battle you must pick a side and stick to it.
I used to be 'Team Crawford' along with my friend Dani from Between Every Line. When I switched to 'Team Efron' (it was a hard decision, but one that I stand by) she was very unhappy. It's like being pro-Jennifer on a Monday and pro-Angelina on a Tuesday. You just can't cross the line. You choose your favourite teen heartthrob and you damn well stick with them!
Clearly no-one gave Karl Lagerfeld this message, but I'll let him have them both, he is a genius after all.

So, are you Team Crawford or Team Efron?
P.S How much would you love to see Zac Efron wear that suit to a premiere? I think it would make my life!
