"Every designer dreams of the invention of the Chanel jacket," said Karl Lagerfeld, Chanel Gotham Magazine, said the infamous fashion staple, a consistent favorite for generations and has inspired countless copies over the years. "He is there with jeans or T-shirt, it is neutral, which means it can be male or women's wear," he said.
Because of its durability, Chanel, under the direction of Karl Lagerfeld and former editor of Paris Vogue Carine Roitfeld, created "The Little Black Jacket" exhibition of more than 100 black-and-white photographs of celebrities, including Sarah Jessica Parker, Kanye West, Yoko Ono and Tilda Swinton wore Chanel jackets that were made specifically for the photos. Photos will also be a book by the end of this summer.
The idea came to the duo more than a year ago, when Roitfeld was to have a custom made black Chanel jacket for her.
Designer Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel designed her first black jacket notorious in 1916 when they present themselves again, as women began to dress.
"The fashion has become a joke," she said. "The designers have forgotten that there are women in the clothes. Most women dress for men and want to be admired. But they must also be able to move to get into a car without bursting their seams! The Clothing should be in a natural form. "
In the year 1936 began with Chanel tweed jackets to create it and set it up in the fur of their status. After the death of Chanel in 1971, the Chanel jacket has gone out of fashion, but returned to favor in the 1980s. In the early 90's stars such as Gwyneth Paltrow, the Chanel jacket is modernized by wearing with jeans.
This exhibition is all about the versatility of the little black jacket.
Dakota Fanning, is a floral wreath in her hair and a bohemian-net is photographed in a black jacket. Model Freja Beha Erichsen's style in his black jacket to look like a nun. Photo Roitfeld is a direct homage to Coco Chanel itself.
The photographs were taken by Lagerfeld in a period of one year in New York, Paris and southern France broke. Having just arrived in New York, the exhibit to several other cities over the course of the year to travel.
The exhibition is worth seeing for those who love fashion and celebrity-watchers. Do you want your own little black Chanel jacket? In those days, they run several thousand dollars each, then this show could be as close as you can get.

Japan-inspired shoe designer Lady Gaga
Tatehana who has over 20 pairs of Lady Gaga in the past two years, said he took the traditional "geta" shoes and geisha is a modern form, with its sculptural platforms.
"Is .. My work as an icon, he has not only as a brand for me, he was also a part of his trademark work," Tatehana said in a recent interview at his Tokyo workshop, cluttered art books, and his elegant shoes - with a sparkling Swarovski crystals, some with gold studs.
The 26-year-old, the monk reminds a pensive mood with his quiet voice, long hair in a bun and baggy pants Yohji Yamamoto is bound, was still a student, began his career as a. In fact, the first pair of Lady Gaga Tatehanas had been the subject of his thesis at the prestigious University of the Arts in Tokyo, where he studied traditional weaving and dyeing kimono.
He made shoes with pink, reptile leather from a future sting rays, common in Japanese art and crafts such as decorative swords. He began his fashion label of trumpets in the design of an e-mail he sent dozens of people in the industry.
He received only three responses: one from a blogger, journalist and as a fashion designer Lady Gaga.

Tatehana says he can not even walk in his creations, but he prefers to wear sneakers and moccasins.
Lady Gaga was seen in another eccentric shoes. High heels that look like lobster claws are like Alexander McQueen, not Tatehana.
Tatehana grew on the coastal town of Kamakura. His father, a bathhouse downtown Tokyo, which has been running for the public to the office of prime real estate, and his mother teaches doll making.
He said that he would one day grow into the clothes pocket perhaps, or work in costumes for films. He will also contribute to the profile of its assets worldwide.

Are women who carry fake designer handbags big trouble?
Dan Ariely, a Professor of Behavioral Economics at Duke University, is publishing a book entitled, “The Honest Truth About Dishonesty: How We Lie to Everyone—Including Ourselves.” In it, he reveals research he and his colleagues conducted that provides useful insights into the psychological forces which drive lying.
One of the more fascinating revelations is that women who carry fake Louis Vuitton or Tory Burch handbags or wear fake Cartier jewelry, are more likely to lie, cheat or steal than other women.
Could that really be the case? Could handing over $50 for a replica handbag that should really cost $500 or $1,000 really signal deeper moral failings? Doesn’t everyone lie sometimes?
Most of us, Ariely explains, do indeed lie, sometimes. But the research he presents includes the fact that those of us who are willing to wear our lies around our necks (e.g. fake Burberry scarves) or carry them on our arms (e.g. those fake designer bags) are especially untrustworthy.
When you think about it, that makes psychological sense. People who buy knock-offs are willing to lie on multiple levels.
First, they’re willing to cheat the companies who created the designer items—and hold the intellectual property related to them—out of money that’s legitimately due them. Because those companies not only came up with unique—sometimes iconic—designs, they invested in advertising and marketing that made their brands household names. They harnessed genuine creativity and employed lots of people to make that happen.
Second, they’re willing to lie to everyone who gets a glimpse of their fake handbags or necklaces or sunglasses and thinks that they have the style sense, or the money, to select and buy those items. They’re desperate enough for that facade of style—that mask of chic—to break the law to achieve it. And they know what they’re doing isn’t above-board. After all, the fraudulent goods they’re buying are often sold by shady street dealers or fly-by-night websites.
Third—and probably most toxic—they’re able to lie to themselves. Because they can almost forget that they’re perpetrating a bit of a scam whenever they head out with a handbag that fools people into believing they have something they don’t and are something they’re not. They have the ability to think of themselves as entirely upstanding, when they’re ripping off companies who have to report real earnings to real stockholders and make real profits—or really go out of business.
Seen this way, the folks who lie just a little by buying knock-offs sound a little less innocuous than they might, otherwise. Still, though, they aren’t Bernie Madoff—making off with billions and leaving investors bankrupt. They aren’t Clark Rockefeller—the fake Rockefeller who fooled everyone into thinking he was a member of the legendary family.
No, they aren’t. But they are very distant cousins—and there are a lot more of them, capable of doing lots of harm, when taken together. And that’s really the psychological and economic point Ariely is making: Madoff isn’t our real problem. It’s the rest of us. The millions willing to lie and cheat and steal a little add up to a bigger economic and social problem than the outliers who take duplicity to the next level.
So, next time you see the stitching on a Louis Vuitton bag and realize it doesn’t quite look like the real deal, it’s fair to conclude that the person carrying it isn’t quite the real deal, either—and act accordingly.

Suits you: The search for the perfect bikini
Violet Lake
A fashion editor for more than 10 years, Ursula Lake started her own swimwear line after a fruitless search for the right bikini. The result is pick'n'mix bikinis and one-pieces in a host of colours.
The one-piece used to be seen as for the older woman or the "frumpy" choice, but our "Caruso" style is very sexy and can be worn as a top to the bar as well as looking chic on the beach. Good-quality fabric is important, it makes the garment last longer and wear better. I love mixing and matching colours and styles, this season we've done a navy and white stripe which looks great combined with a plain colour such as scarlet. If you've got a bigger bust don't cover it up – too much fabric generally makes things look bigger than they are. Our "Ryder" bikini top goes up to an E cup, and is supportive, sexy and very popular.
Style passport
Sarah Walters worked at Vogue, Bazaar and Marie Claire before moving to New Look where she ran campaigns with Giles Deacon and Lily Allen. Two years ago she founded an online store to solve every holiday wardrobe dilemma.
Designers expressed themselves with vibrant palettes and exotic prints this season, and summer by the sea or the pool looks all the better for it – colour and sunshine go hand in hand.
The most important thing to remember though is comfort. A suit cut to flatter will give confidence when baring all. If you love swimming do check your costume is up to the task. We've gone a bit crazy for Zimmerman this season – the new one pieces are especially flattering if you have an athletic shape like me, without a waist – a sporty two-piece works well too.
Beach Flamingo
Founded by Lily Russo, shopping editor at Grazia, and her retail expert sister Jessica, this newly launched site aims to unite the best of beach fashion from all over the world.
Digi-prints, florals and tribal are big trends this year, but the one-piece is really having a moment too. Cut, fit and fabric are so important, once you find a style that suits your shape stick to it – it makes the shopping experience much easier.
We're massive fans of Karla Colletto for its hidden scaffolding that nips and tucks in all the right places. Both of us have quite hourglass figures and though our personal style differs we can guarantee a well-chosen side-tie or scoop bikini bottom is the most flattering. Big knickers seem safe but often only make you look bigger.
Beach tomato
An extension of the award-winning hip travel site Black Tomato, this one-stop shop run by fashion editor Kirsty Hathaway combines editorial delights with commerce.
Prints, prints, prints ! They abound this season – a trend that has trickled through from the catwalks. The bonus is they're flattering and a fun alternative to lots of the block colours we've seen of late.
Remember your body type though, just because you may like the look of a bikini, you need to remember what suits you and what you feel comfortable in – you are, after all, practically naked. I love Mungo Gurney's collection, it ranges from on trend art deco and graphic prints to block colours and laser cut-outs. I love one-pieces at the moment, for once they are cool, flattering and not so mumsy. A halterneck is great to give a smaller bust more lift and cleavage.

Both of us have quite hourglass figures and though our personal style differs we can guarantee a well-chosen side-tie or scoop bikini bottom is the most flattering. Big knickers seem safe but often only make you look bigger.

An extension of the award-winning hip travel site Black Tomato, this one-stop shop run by fashion editor Kirsty Hathaway combines editorial delights with commerce.
Prints, prints, prints ! They abound this season – a trend that has trickled through from the catwalks. The bonus is they're flattering and a fun alternative to lots of the block colours we've seen of late.
Remember your body type though, just because you may like the look of a bikini, you need to remember what suits you and what you feel comfortable in – you are, after all, practically naked. I love Mungo Gurney's collection, it ranges from on trend art deco and graphic prints to block colours and laser cut-outs. I love one-pieces at the moment, for once they are cool, flattering and not so mumsy. A halterneck is great to give a smaller bust more lift and cleavage.
