The French Riviera Fashion Report: Chanel Resort 2012!!

French Riviera Gets CHANEL'ed...

Queen Elizabeth Yellow: Canary yellow suit, Chanel Resort 2012

Kaiser Karl--Karl Lagerfeld--just went down to the French Riviera--in lieu of the Cannes Film Festival--to show his latest Chanel Resort 2012 Collection. Why? Because Lagerfeld--and the House of Chanel can do that! Hello?? The venue—the Hotel du Cap Eden Roc, in Antibes on the French Riviera. It is, as the designer himself pointed out, possibly the most expensive hotel in the world, and he booked out the whole joint a year ago for however many days it took to get this show on the runway. Not only did they book out the hotel location, then they flew in all these top models, press, the seamstresses, staff, well, you name it, they were there. In addition, the Chanel PR Department went on overdrive to have their A-List stars there as well.

Lilac Lunch: A look from Chanel Resort 2012

"Too much may not be enough", Lagerfeld mused at show's end. He has accessorized the collection with REAL diamonds, jewels and pearls. To HECK with the (supposed) Recession!! (at least for Chanel and Karl). Ladies who can afford a $3,500 jacket, well, aren't really bothered by a supposed "European Recession".

He says the collection was inspired by Rita Hayworth and her third husband Prince Aly Khan. I get it: Expensive, Regal and oh-so-chic. Mixing both Hollywood 50's-like silhouettes with a touch of that "We're on a perpetual vacation" look. Oh, it must be nice. Here are some of the looks:

Cara

Miss Cara Dawson.

You have to love a girl who:

♥ 's Hello Kitty (one of her recent purchases was some Hello Kitty film for her Instax camera);

Paints her nails Red, White and Blue for The Royal Wedding complete with little Union Jack on the thumb. (She has also had wee little pink piggies, strawberries; tuxedo's and moustaches courtesy of Wah Nails in Dalston, blue and white dots, and tiny ladybirds);

Owns a Red Wonder Woman lipstick;

Loves taking photos (she is studying graphic design and photography at university);

Blogs about fun things like the world's weirdest hotels, the granny who whizzes past on a kid's scooter each day when she is walking to uni, her peg friends project (she is making little peg people of all of her facebook friends) and the demise of her sun hut during a recent holiday to Sri Lanka (so cute!);

Is very funny and sweet (hence her lovely blog);

Owns a burger phone (remember those from way back when? So much more fun to answer the phone when it is shaped like a hamburger!);

Has been photographed numerous times by the uber talented American fashion photographer Valerie Philips (Cara is also a model);

Loves pom pom's on clothes (note the tiny pom poms on her cream shirt), camping in the countryside with friends, trawling car boot sales for vintage (not sure what they are called in the US but we call them trash&treasure markets in Australia) and any excuse for a fancy dress party.
Head on over to Grazia.it for the full interview with Cara.
