I know I am like a day late on this…..and while everyone seems to be at a high road with Lily Allen being the new face of Chanel’s A/W ‘09 campaign ads…I’m still wondering why did Unkie Karl really have to go with Lily? For some reason I feel that this was a last call shoot. Or better yet, the Karlster needs a better staff to help shoot him some interesting names of folks who make rock things the right now. (Clearing throat)…perhaps we could use some Estelle, Zoe Kravitz, dang I’ll even take a quick glance at Lady Gaga right now. I’m saying…I loved me some Lily (circa 2006), but it’s like now her presence (like so many celebrities) lately is so irrelevant. Shoot sometimes I wonder why I even bother to pay attention to them (celebrities) in the first place. Then again I’d be out of a job…ha! But seriously…can we get on the topic of Lily Allen. What makes her that special to be featured on this autumn’s campaign? Black and white photos embodying the whole ‘Breakfast At Tiffany” motif seems a tad bit played. Especially for such a sporty looking collection of arm candy….do you really think that Lily set the scene? Perhaps she’d fit better in modeling off more of Fall-Winter’s 09/10 – Pre Collection of sinfully luscious bags instead of the Coco Cocoon collection….don’t you think? Ahhhh…but what do I know? For goodness sakes, Lily is always spotted at Chanel runway shows. She rocks the latest Chanel handbags…and it’s very obvious that is he a die-hard Chanel follower like the rest of us. You already know that I’m way too busy swooning over the Coco Cocoon bag more over than Allen. Her Karl-esque stance in the photos really does nothing to heighten my appeal for the campaign….but the bags are pretty cool! Reversible….and practical (for everyday use…but not in price) the Coco Cocoon collection is slated to hit perfectly dusted Chanel glass shelving coming October. Alright….so I am ready to ask Unkie Karl to spice things up and let Lil’ Kim run next springs campaign…that might really make heads pop and roll! More views after the jump!
