Above: the latest ad for french fashion house, Chanel run by German’s finest: Karl Lagerfeld.  But honestly, a German who touts french fires over bratwurst?!

Clearly Lagerfeld has lost his milk shake, but did he upchuck the beef chuck thinking that, “Fashion is the healthiest motivation for losing weight.” Au contraire Fashion Czar Karl, I can name at least half a dozen more vaild & far more nurturing motives for shedding the pounds … among them: avoiding the nickname Fatty McFatty.

Are you as excited about the new Matthew Williamson for H&M?!!  The line is in select stores this Thursday & sadly for me I will be facing the daunting line of cars on the 405 before I even dare go near the Beverly Center for the release.  If only I could afford to call off sick from work, but at this point my wallet  is ill enough …

Check out the H&M site for Part One of the collection.  For those of us who can’t make it to one of the select stores, fear not, another round of cheap chic threads will be making it to all stores May 14th in Part Two of the collection!

Here’s a look at the new spring ads for Zac Posen.  Unlike other labels, the ad is a first for Posen’s line.

From WWD: When Luis Venegas, publisher of the indie fashion magazine Fanzine137, offered Zac Posen a double spread to create his ideal ad, the designer jumped at the chance.  He enrolled photographer Ellen von Unwerth, his stylist friend Christopher Niquet and model Alexandra Tomlinson for a day, and directed the shoot at his friend Lorraine Kirke’s house in December.
