Uncle Karl is a busy man. Designing what is likely now 400 lines of clothing per year (maybe I’m exaggerating a smidge), collaborating with architects and other cultural icons, launching Chanel in different markets, making short films, obsessing over male models and photographing campaigns, you have to wonder how he does it all.
One of his latest projects for Marie Claire Italia combines a couple of those vocations.
He recently photographed male model and current muse Baptiste Giabiconi and actress Anna Mouglalis (saw her portrayal of Mademoiselle Chanel in Coco and Igor at TIFF and didn’t think she made a great Coco, but I guess Karl disagrees with me).
There is a male and female version for each month. Here’s a preview.

Baptiste was also calling on Bryan Ferry for this shoot with Jerry Hall for Chanel.
