For anyone whose invitation to Chanel’s resort show in the South of France on May 9 got lost in the mail, its creative head Karl Lagerfeld will release a new short film, showcasing the cruise collection in a dramatic surrounding.

A teaser released May 5 depicts “friends of the House” including French actress Anna Mouglalis, American model Kristen McMenamy, fashion empress Amanda Harlech, models Freja Beha Erichsen, Bianca Balti and Baptiste Giabiconi.

All are putting their best acting skills forward in this new trailer that seems to revolve around a dysfunctional, affluent family whiling away their time in chic casinos.

Louis Vuitton has a trio of leading models including Freja Beha Erichsen, Kristen McMenamy and Raquel Zimmermann for its spring 2011 campaign.

In front of Steven Meisel’s lens, the group invites us into their boudoir full of colorful accessories and eastern inspired garments.

Black cats are traditionally held as bad luck, but this Lanvin Autumn/Winter 2009 Femme campaign defies that notion outright.

Cats co-star alongside Kristen McMenamy, under the watchful lens of Steven Meisel.
