Early images leaked of the much-anticipated (in a good or bad way, I’m not sure) Chanel ads featuring Karl Lagerfeld’s latest muse, Kristen Stewart. Channeling some Paris-Dallas inspired looks and vibes, Stewart looked.. well, as emotionless as usual. Maybe it’s just me but I think she resembles Karl Mr. Chanel himself (maybe it’s just the hair). Either way – cornrows? Really? In a CHANEL ad??? What. Is. Going. On? I’m not a fan of these and I don’t think they really even look like anything Chanel would produce… but you be your own judge.
I totally agree with you… I’ve never been a fan of Kristen Stewart. She’s totally not the Chanel woman Coco would have envisioned and used as a muse. And I’m totally up for creative detours, but the whole western and cornrow thing just doesn’t resonate with Chanel to me. Glad we are on the same page.
