Karl Lagerfeld Takes Over Saint-Tropez For Chanel's Resort Show

Natasha Poly was the the first girl to step off the classic Riva carrying barefoot models to the start of the Chanel resort show today in Saint-Tropez. Karl Lagerfeld's 1970s-on-the-Riviera collection of chiffon kaftans, gingham blouses, metallic shorts, tweed jackets, and lace swimwear was location-appropriate and ultimately very wearable, as illustrated by the range of models cast for the event. Jaquetta Wheeler (who said she often wishes for more curves), 17-year-old Georgia May Jagger (who closed the show on the back of a motorcycle), and plus-size model Crystal Renn were among those to walk. After the runway, guests headed to VIP Room for a celebration, which was the location used in Lagerfeld's short film for the collection, "Remember Now."

Chanel's Cruise 2011 Show Involved Motorboats, a Motorcycle, and Crystal Renn

>> Set on the French Riviera in Saint Tropez with the models arriving on motorboats from a yacht in the harbor, Chanel's Cruise 2011 show reflected the '70s throwback party atmosphere emulated in Karl Lagerfeld's short film shown last night. Natasha Poly opened barefoot in a pastel print dress, and Karolina Kurkova and Abbey Lee Kershaw danced down the runway in knits. Toni Garrn and Jacquetta Wheeler made runway returns, and Crystal Renn, riding the current "plus size model" wave, made a cameo.

For the finale, front rowers like Anna Mougalis, Carine Roitfeld, Andre Leon Talley in a green cape, Emmanuelle Alt, Diane Kruger, Vanessa Paradis, and Franca Sozzani witnessed Lagerfeld's bodyguard Sebastien Jondeau pulling up on a motorcycle (which temporarily stalled) with Georgia May Jagger on the back. Then, appropriately, to a Rolling Stones soundtrack, Lagerfeld appeared in a purple jacket for his bow — and Abbey Lee threw her arm around Karl's shoulder.

>> Miranda Kerr Continues High Fashion Crossover with i-D Cover —She's headlining the upcoming Fall 2010 Prada campaign, and now she's scored one of three Summer 2010 i-D covers — the other two featuring Jeneil Williams and Gisele Bundchen. Miranda Kerr continues the path paved by Bundchen and Adriana Lima before her, trading in solely Victoria's Secret fare to embark on more high fashion endeavors. Just last night, The Imagist wrote of Kerr: "She's much more than a VS thing now kids...Miss Kerr is looking like THE blue chip campaign queen of FW 10." He also hinted: "If I were the editor of a major cutting edge fashion glossy I would be clearing space for my Miranda Kerr cover right this minute. But hang on ...if TI is thinking it, it probably means Miss Kerr is probably already a cover star of something furiously glossy." [TFS, TI]

>> Chanel's latest short film, which debuted last night in Saint Tropez before guests — in town to preview the brand's Cruise 2011 show today — played a rousing game of petanque, is now online. The 17-minute film features Abbey Lee Kershaw as a Jane Birkin lookalike, Freja Beha Erichsen channeling Mick Jagger, and Magdalena Frackowiak emulating Brigitte Bardot.

Lagerfeld, who wrote, directed, and makes a cameo in the film, said Monday: “When I do a film, I see the movie before I’ve made it. I don’t make scripts because it’s written in my head. I like short one-liners.” And Heidi Mount, who plays a party hostess, added: “There’s a script, but it’s basically Karl telling you what he wants. He has the whole thing up in his head.”

>> In what is part of a three-book young adult fantasy series deal with Random House, Tyra Banks announced her first novel, Modelland, today.

"The story happens in a make-believe place called Modelland," Banks writes. "Every girl in the world wants to go there because it’s where 'Intoxibellas' are trained. Intoxibellas are drop-dead beautiful, kick-butt fierce and, yeah, maybe they have some powers too. (But I’m confirming NOTHING! Ha. You gotta wait for the book.) The story follows a teen girl and her friends who find themselves magically transported to Modelland, even though they’re really not supposed to be there."
