Here’s another shot of Chanel that she posted from a photoshoot.. Flawless!

Hey lovies.. now we all know Karl Lagerfeld for his honest and cut and dry approach to fashion. He loves offering his words of wisdom — and the delivery in which he does it is just perfection. In the Spring issue for Harper’s Bazaar Karl acts as a “Fashion Therapist” and answers readers questions in true Karl form. He gave some fantastic advice and he kept me laughing with his responses. Here’s a snippet of the feature..

Harper’s Bazaar: The recession is keeping me up at night. My husband tells me I have to cut back on spending, but I’m anxious about shopping on a budget. Can I still look chic while buying cheap?

Karl Lagerfeld: The most important thing is to sleep well. Try to have sweet dreams and no recession nightmares. You have to find out if your husband is telling you to spend less during the crisis as an excuse. Never use the word cheap. Today everybody can look chic in inexpensive clothes (the rich buy them too). There is good clothing design on every level today. You can be the chicest thing in the world in a T-shirt and jeans — it’s up to you.

Don’t use expensive clothes as a screen for your personal doubts. Be proud of yourself and not only because you wear expensive designer clothes. They are great, but lots of people are happy without them. Don’t play the victim: It’s too easy. You come first, the clothes later. Reinvent new combinations of what you already own. Play with it. Improvise. Become more creative. Not because you have to, but because you want to. Evolution is the secret for the next step.

HB: With distressed elbows, white T-shirts, and acid-washed jeans all the rage, I am paranoid that my friends will think I have gone to the poorhouse. What impression will I make? Will my friends judge me?

KL: The T-shirt can be impeccable, and the jeans, too. (The body has to be impeccable as well — that helps a lot.) If it’s not, buy small sizes and less food. Acid-washed jeans are not new — they existed at the same time as wild shopping did. To reinvent a newly impeccable you in the most modest of outfits, don’t skip on makeup, and be sure to have flawless skin and hair. That will have more impact than expensive clothes. And, by the way, what kind of friends do you have? Dress for yourself and the man you love (if there is one). Women dressing to impress other women — forget about that. It’s a very bad way of thinking.

HB: I love the shine and bright colors in the spring collections, but I’m a wallflower. Is there a subtle way to incorporate them into my look?

KL: In terms of fashion, those wild prints and bright colors are more from last summer. One gets easily tired of violent prints and wild colors. And if you consider yourself a wallflower, then you better look in another fashion direction. In the city, bright colors and bold prints don’t look so great. So if you must wear them, wait for your holiday.

HB: I would love to sport a pair of extra-high sandals to a party, but will I be able to walk in them after a couple of drinks? Some of the models on the runways couldn’t stay on their feet!

KL: Please, your question is childish. Don’t drink when you wear stilettos. I can’t advise you to get drunk at home to find out if you would be able to walk in them at a party. Plus, you aren’t on the runway. Life should not be a fashion show. Only the girls in the shows have to wear unfinished prototypes. What you see later in the shops are safe — or safer. Naomi Campbell became a showstopper when she fell in her Vivienne Westwood platforms during a show. You don’t have to go that high. If you’re short, you can look out of proportion. Very high heels actually look better on tall girls, but men hate to walk around with giants who make them feel like midgets.

Sarah Jessica Parker talks about fashion:

“I don’t have the Carrie Bradshaw passion and devotion to it, but I would much prefer that life would allow for a beautiful shoe all day long. To stand in Mr. de la Renta’s atelier and have him build a dress on you, that is amazing.”

Sarah Jessica Parker on Carrie Bradshaw:

“I got to wear such incredible things, and you make such mistakes and there’s such hits and great triumphs and there’s incredible wrong, wrong, wrong. But it’s so much fun.”

Sarah Jessica Parker talks about New York’s Sex and the City bus tour:

“Ah, yes, I run into it. There are times when it’s totally terrific, and there are times when I’m like, Oh, God, I’d better run in the other direction. Especially when I’m with my son.”

I THINK I’M SEEING DOUBLE.

No. You don’t need to adjust your screen. You are actually seeing the same dress on two different magazine covers. How did that happen? Accidentally? Purposely? Guess we’ll have to wait and see on that one.

The lovely Cate Blanchett is the covergirl on the December issue of Australian Harper’s Baazar magazine wearing a Giorgio Armani Fall 2007 dress. Vogue Nippon has also decided to dress up supermodel Snejana Onopka in the exact same Giorgio Armani dress for their January 2008 issue. I personally like the Vogue Nippon cover better. It just looks more dramatic to me capturing the dynamics of the dress. What do you think my lovies? What snagged the better cover?
