Scott Schuman, more commonly known as the creator of the popular fashion blog “The Sartorialist”, has been commissioned by Fantastic Man magazine to photograph Chanel’s latest Menswear collection.

The Concept of the shoot is all about real people, or more like, real men in Chanel - these photographs from Fantastic Man’s Issue #8 definitely reflect Schuman’s style in photography.

Fresh off stints in Tokyo and Hong Kong, Chanel’s UFO-like mobile art pavilion is making a stop in Central Park before being transported over to London, Moscow and Paris.

The curled shiny structure is full of art inspired by Chanel’s iconic quilted leather Chanel handbag - pieces like an enormous Chanel handbag spilled over.

The work has drawn criticism for its cluelessness, and its place in the Park, which the New York Times calls an “instrument of psychological healing for the weary.”

These shoes were part of Chanel’s 2009 Cruise Collection, and were actually designed by Laurence Decade, who was apparently handed an image of a gun by Lagerfeld, with the instruction to turn it into footwear

And he did. The scary bit is that these aren’t just pieces of catwalk art - they are actually available to buy with the rest of the collection, priced at €2,000 ($2,800).

Latest to be seen in the pair is Madonna. We can just imagine how much trouble this confusion is going to cause at airport security ^_^

According to fashion blog nitro:licious, classic Chanel handbags will be experiencing a 20% increase in price. The new & improved price mark-ups will take effect come November 1.

Chanel neoprene dumbells $760

Everyone knows Chanel for their purses, make-up, fragrances, skin care and couture, but what you may not know is that famous french fashion house also makes some very luxe sporting equipment and work out gear.

Fishing rod with Double C flies in quilted case, $18,000

For many years now Karl Lagerfeld and Chanel have been producing some of the world’s most preposterous and overpriced sporting goods.

First there was the Chanel snowboard with trompe l’oeil “quilting”; then $2,5000 Chanel skis. More recently the fashion house has produced a Chanel’s $12,000 bike, a pink Chanel tennis racket complete with tennis balls and a Chanel boomerang.

And now, here is the luxurious fly-fishing rod from the latest Chanel sports collection, priced at just under $20,000. It seems to be a Karl Lagerfeld’s personal tribute to Coco Chanel and her love of the relaxing sport !

For a mere £9,170 the ponciest angler on the planet can kit himself out with a Chanel rod and a set of meticulously tied, monochrome Chanel flies, complete with the famous “double C” logo on the gossamer wings, presented in a rather fetching, quilted black leather box.
