Chanel, Palm Beach (561-655-1550….ask for Elizabeth F.–she not only knows her stuff, but she’ll keep it to herself if she knows yours….) sponsored a Gala featuring the delights of Spring ‘07 from 6-9PM, December 27–all those fantasy tweeds under one roof, by invitation only. Wow. While I missed the hors d’oeuvres (perhaps belts and pins??) I did spy a few of the main courses…i.e. Hard Pieces (sounds sexy, but it’s garment industry lingo for suits and jackets)–Pretty Soft Pink Bolero Jackets and Matching Ruffled Boucle Dress Ensembles (think ‘95C), Cropped Denim Fantasy Tweed Jackets in Dusty Blue/Rose and Pink Combos (Think ‘03A), and a Delicious Jacket/Dress set in Bold Black and White shot with Pink Plaid (Think ‘04P).

Karl has done quite a bit of heavily borrowed weaves and themes—sort of like a ‘Greatest Hits’ collection assembled for Acts one and two of ‘07. With other designers constantly looking to Mr. Lagerfeld for “inspiration” (you can read that as industrial espionage and outright knock offs), I was fine with seeing some of my all time favourites updated by their actual createur.

Now, how to afford all these bolts of fabric. Wonder if it’s too late to enroll at a sweatshop. At $ .99 an hour, I guess I’ll literally owe my soul to the company store. Time to cultivate a taste for Kathi Lee.

Thank God, another Label designed by Karl Lagerfeld.

Perhaps the H&M collection fueled his desire to clothe the masses (as long as they can wear a 4, 6, or 8). Now, it appears that Kaiser Karl will be launching his own signature denim line, named-’K.’ He claims that he chose this moniker as he is tired of complicated names (yeah, those CC’s can be a challenge).

Tee shirts start at around 70 euros and K jeans will range from 120 to 220. His line will debut in Spain at ‘Bread and Butter.’ I’m waiting for his signature home linen line a la Ralph Lauren– ‘KKK,’ lots of white sheets. How’s that for uncomplicated? Stay tuned.

I can’t decide whether to wear this jacket or to frame it. I Adore the painting (thank you so much, David) I can put Findlay Galleries to shame just waltzing down Worth Avenue.

Sincerely a stunning example of David Jones’ work –almost like ‘Mango,’ another gal that he artfully created but on canvas. (Catch His Gallery in Soho). I’ve literally had people stop me to try to buy it off my back. Hey, at 46, I take my kicks where I can get them.

Thanks again, Dave!!! You, Judi, and Meg are the Best!!
