Art or Vandalism?  Zevs - who pioneered the French street art scene - has recently been condamned by the Honk Kong authorities for painting the CHANEL logo on... the outer wall above the window of a Giorgio Armani boutique in central Hong Kong.

What a character! Karl Lagerfeld is very probably one of the person I found the most fascinating/intriguing/talented.

Dark sunglasses, white ponytail, high starched collars and beringed hands, coupled with some lines that you just cannot forget like 'Those who love fashion wear fashion', 'Fashion is unfair and risky', 'I just want to be an apparition', 'People with turbulent lives spend their time on the phone', he is just amazing.

Lagerfeld Confidential is an interesting portrait of the living legend directed by Rodolphe Marconi in 2007. It is an extended interview without talking-head commentary, and even though it probably only shows 10% of the real Lagerfeld it is worth watching it! Here is a little taster...

Chanel launches a limited edition line of make-up inspired by... London.  The Pearly Banner Palette - an ivory, gold and silver highlighter stamped with the Union Jack - is available exclusively from Selfridges this month and nationwide from July.

This £52 palette looks pretty amazing, however I can't help myself but wonder how could I wear this make up without looking like a character from Jem and the Holograms? Help.
