Caution: Exclusive Perspective on What it Must be Like to Walk for Chanel
This is such a brilliant idea. They put a spy camera inside Natasya Karzan’s hair (you know it’s her because she follows Kasia Struss in their runway order). I wish they’d do more of this because I feel as if I was there—as if I was actually one of the girls the way the hairstylists, make up artists, dressers, Uncle Karl, other models and the audience looked at the camera (girl). I love how they act so natural, not realizing that the camera is on them.
Here is a close-up of the camera in Natasya’s hair.
And here is the video.
So intense, right? I wish they’d do this more often instead of the boring backstage video.

Boo…Warner Music Group disabled the sound on part two so we can’t hear the runway music or hear anything.
After watching all these…I don’t hate Karl Lagerfeld as much.
Thank God I have the Sundance Channel
If you’ve ever been curious to witness the creative chaos that takes place in the hours preceding a fashion show, then tune in to The Day Before, documentarian Loïc Prigent’s four-part series debuting on Sundance Channel September 9 (the day prior to New York Fashion Week). Each episode follows a different designer—the stellar lineup includes Sonia Rykiel, Proenza Schouler’s Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, Karl Lagerfeld for Fendi, and Jean Paul Gaultier—as they prepare their creations for the catwalk.
Loic Prigent is the same guy who did the 2007 Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton documentary and the 2005 Signe Chanel documentary(which will be posted tomorrow morning.)
Proenza Schouler “blesses” all their pieces before it walks down the runway. Shout out to my girl Iris!
The Fendi design team puts on a crazy runway show for Uncle Karl.
Hanne and Suvi Get Kinky
Behind the scenes with Hanne and Suvi being shot by Poala Kudacki for Purple magazine.
I promise, it is not that kinky. They have Michael McDonald playing in the background. How can you keep a straight “sexy” face with that music!
The whole concept was meant to be sexual but from this footage, it looks anything but. This actually brings on the lols. I hope these girls are getting paid a lot because posing in those positions cant be all that comfortable.
I love how silly Suvi is. But Hanne, scared me in the beginning. I thought she was dead.
