Here is the upcoming July cover of UK Harper’s Bazaar featuring French singer/actress Vanessa Paradis, she looks so beautiful, and hasn’t changed much, I remember her at 14 singing “Joe le Taxi”.

Yesterday, Daniel, Rebecca, and I went to the Chanel showroom to preview the new Cocoon Bag Line. The story after the jump…

Replacing British singer Lilly Allen, French singer/actress Vanessa Paradis took over as the new face for the Cocoon Bag Line. She also modeled the Cambon line back in 2004.

I really liked the collection, the leather bags are very modern and also sophisticated, designed for urban use or for travel and are available in different sizes and colors ( black, cobalt blue, charcoal grey, light grey, silver, chocolate and ivory versions).

Karl Lagerfeld loved working with Vanessa Paradis, stating “it’s not work, it’s pleasure, I’m happy with you.” That’s why Karl gave Vanessa her 5th starring role for Chanel.

Vanessa Paradis is simple perfection in Karl Lagerfeld’s Pre-Fall collection for Chanel.  The Parisian singer/actress/wife of Johnny Depp looks spectacular in a bunch of highly covetable Chanel pieces.

LINKAGE: My Fashion Life

Well this is nothing new, but it’s just something that my dentally conscious self noticed recently.

The Madonna divorce news has catapulted her face all over the papers and blogs once again.  I’ve also noticed some similar mugs.  Most notably, I took a quick glance and thought the Material Girl was on the cover of the November 2008 issue of Vogue Paris (top) for some reason.

But the above three gap-toothed lovelies are different people.  Vanessa Paradis, Lara Stone, and Madonna all proudly sport the dental oddity.  Whereas Gwen Stefani and Miranda Hobbes famously wore braces as adults, Vanessa, Lara, and Madge have not repaired their gaps.  The imperfection is a nice contrast to their otherwise fortunate genetics.

Now she’s looking gorgeous in the new French Elle. Like I always say, the French do it better.

But here are my favs!

This is what the corporate people at Miu Miu told WWD about the ads: “The impact and drama of the images continue the enduring dialogue of Mrs. Prada, a conversation concerning the subject of womanhood in our times. At once a deconstruction and a pure visual composition, the campaign addresses the exploration of beauty in conjunction with intellect, imagination and divergence.”

Really? All of that from one image?! Looks like this fashion brand takes themselves way too seriously! It’s a pretty image that looks like a piece of art. Nothing more. I don’t think that expensive leather bag and satin wetsuit is going to be solving the problem of sexism that women face in the work place. So lets enjoy it for what it is.

Here is the outfit Paradis is modeling. Notice that each suit is outfitted with the models initials.
