More Roitfeld For Chanel Autumn/Winter 2011

Carine Roitfeld is in charge of styling the look of Chanel for the Autumn/Winter 2011 campaign and permit me to say that the latest ads are the cat's meow! Great Dane Freja Beha Erichsen models in her fifth consecutive campaign for Chanel as shot by Karl Lagerfeld and this time Carine has imagined her as a black cat. Street smart, kitty has climbed up on a stool in a photo booth, poised to kill any rodents that dare to come her way. La Roitfeld has adorned Erichsen in cat's nose and whiskers along with cat ears fashioned out of the signature Chanel camellias. I love the knit headwear, leather gloves, and belt that Carine chose to feature in the ad, these accessories will equip one to take on the fierce cold of winter in style. Unless of course you've been a good kitten and your tender owner makes sure you have a warm hearth upon which to curl... The other ad is strangely beautiful but does not really lend itself to description, see below.

The strangely beautiful one ... beauty contemplating beauty at extreme levels.

Carine's expressions are so honest. I can really only think of Grace Coddington as another that can be bold or sublime, but always a story.

Thank you for your wonderful observation, Madeleine! It is definitely the ability to tell a story in a single image that sets apart Carine Roitfeld and Grace Coddington as stylists.
