Lagerfeld's Muse Becomes L'Oréal's Latest Spokeswoman

Model Inès de la Fressange was one of Karl Lagerfeld's most iconic muses, but these days she's taking on a job with much wider exposure: acting as the newest spokeswoman for L'Oréal.

Model Inès de la Fressange was one of Karl Lagerfeld's most iconic muses, but these days she's taking on a job with much wider exposure: acting as the newest spokeswoman for L'Oréal. Fifty-three-year-old Inès certainly seems like a solid choice for L'Oréal, and it's nice to see the company expand its roster of mature spokeswomen. In a world full of spokesmodels hawking anti-wrinkle creams when they're barely out of their teens, there's some comfort for me in seeing an actual adult making the sales pitch. Would you like to see more mature spokespeople, or just greater age variance in general?

>> Chanel's current ad campaign spans three generations, and at the brand's couture show today, Karl Lagerfeld highlighted the idea that Chanel is for any age, tapping 40-year-old Stella Tennant to open the show and 45-year-old Kristen McMenamy to close. VIPs galore filled the front row: Kirsten Dunst, Ines de la Fressange, Pedro Almodovar, Karen Elson, Alexa Chung, Daphne Guinness, Diane Kruger, Vanessa Paradis, and Jerry Hall, plus Baptiste Giabiconi, who, for once, didn't walk the Chanel runway. As previewed yesterday, the collection was filled with black patent mule flats and tunic dresses over skinny pants, and at the end, Lagerfeld, joined by his bride McMenamy in a dress fitted with an embroidered train of thousands of gold beads, blew the audience a kiss.

Are Older Models Here to Stay?

Do You Think Young Models Might Have Competition?

With Inès de la Fressange, Elle Macpherson, Stella Tennant, and other prominent not-so-teenaged models walking the runways at Fashion Week for the last couple seasons, some people are now speculating that the more mature catwalker is here to stay.

With Inès de la Fressange, Elle Macpherson, Stella Tennant, and other prominent not-so-teenaged models walking the runways at Fashion Week for the last couple seasons, some people are now speculating that the more mature catwalker is here to stay. Since most of the people actually buying designer clothes are well out of their teens, having models with a little more life experience than your average 16-year-old clotheshorse makes sense. However, it's not like we're seeing tons of older women, and those we've seen have been very famous faces. Do you think the fashion and beauty industries will make a sustained effort to better represent women of all ages, or do you think bringing back supermodels from decades past is just a fad?

Ines de la Fressange to Walk Chanel's Runway, Appear in Brand's Spring 2011 Campaign

>> Ines de la Fressange, who was exclusively signed by Karl Lagerfeld in 1983 as the living embodiment of Chanel, and stayed that way until 1990, when she broke her contract over an argument with Lagerfeld in which he proclaimed he didn't want to 'dress a monument,' is back in good graces at the house.

In addition to plenty of other treasures, French model and designer Ines de la Fressange used a handbag and a single boot as decorative accessories to dress up a chest of drawers in her office in Paris. Seeing as the items are works of art in their own right, and her other furnishings are downright glamorous as well, I think she's pulled it off. But just any old shoe wouldn't do. Do you decorate with fashion accessories?

Eva Herzigova, Ines de la Fressange Go Without Makeup, Retouching for French Elle Covers

>> While the editors at Elle are making lists of what the economy has forced them to give up (bottled water, working out with a trainer) and what necessities they can't bear to part with (haircuts at Fekkai, Wolford tights, monthly facials), their counterparts at French Elle are preparing to do something novel.  This week's issue, which hits newsstands Saturday, features Eva Herzigova, Inès de la Fressange, and actresses Monica Bellucci, Sophie Marceau, Anne Parillaud, Karin Viard, Charlotte Rampling, and Chiara Mastroianni, who all agreed to appear without any makeup or retouching.  Peter Lindbergh did the honors, and inside the magazine, five more unnamed celebrities are promised.*image: source

Natalia Vodianova Shows Off Her Lingerie Pour Etam

>> Natalia Vodianova has been chatting up her collaboration with Etam for a while — and last night, the French lingerie company shelled out for their newly-signed three year ambassador, staging a full-blown show at the Ritz in Paris that drew the likes of Eva Herzigova, Emmanuelle Alt, and Charlotte Casiraghi in the front row and Edita Vilkeviciute, Sigrid Agren, Flavia Oliveira, and Sessilee Lopez on the runway.  Natalia pour Etam, which encompasses swimwear and lingerie, including a silk nightgown inspired by one in Natalia's own wardrobe, runs $20-$80 and hits stores in April.  The line will be reoccurring, with Natalia designing a new collection every season over the period of her ambassadorship.*image: source, source
