Lily Allen and Karl Lagerfeld's friendship seemed to be a strange combination but I'm really liking the new Chanel handbag adverts which feature Lily Allen. She updates the classic brand by adding some youth and cheekiness! Never seen without a Chanel bag the singer is a great ambassador for the company. The advertisements keep the brand essence in tact by using a black and white theme, which creates a beautiful silhouette of the star clutching multiple Chanel bags. Lily Allen was cast to be the face of the Fall/Winter 2009/10 'Coco Cocoon' collection of bags. Lagerfeld certainly believes it was a successful collaboration, saying:
"I love Lily Allen. She looks a lot like Gabriella Chanel and she is a self-made woman. She is cool, young and extremely witty. Photographing her for this advertising campaign was fantastic fun. She is extremely inspiring and is completely taken with the bags - with her typical English casualness."
For the Spring/Summer 2010 show Chanel took on a more rustic theme with a 'romp in the hay'. The Paris show was held at the Grand Palais in which a huge barn was erected. The catwalk was awash with straw and hay and there was an impressive collection of clothes too! Lily Allen made a surprise appearance performing for the audience.
