RSVIP: Starry Karl Lagerfeld Relaunch of the Chanel Boutique in Soho

Filed under: Apparel, Events, Architecture & Design, Luxury Shopping

The economy didn't appear to be an issue when Chanel reopened their boutique at 98 Wooster Street in Soho on Thursday night with an effervescent Euro budget. Champagne and trays brimming with bits of foie gras just kept coming on the wide black walkway built around the side of the building with louvered walls open to the cobbled street.

Also served to celebrities on trays were black cans marked Chanel that looked as if they held spray paint. Instead, the device shot infrared to create graffiti on slick black wall monitors. "All right," said Claire Danes, aiming her can. "We need to do some graffiti!"

Graffiti has never looked quite so elegant.

With a bejeweled, shimmering black jacket over her shoulders, Sarah Jessica Parker mentioned that only her shoes and the bag were not Chanel.

Peter Marino, in head-to-toe black-leather, said that he had designed the new Chanel Boutique with Karl Lagerfeld. He described the interior as "only black-and-white, no beige."

"Beige is the color of Chanel," said Marino. "But this is strikingly youthful. And there is a lot of artwork by up-and-coming artists: works by Robert Green, Gregor Hildebrandt-- he melted old 45 records into cake pans. Richard Woods did the black-and-white faux-brick columns." Up high, fluorescent lights wrapped in rubber were also art.

Model-turned-actress Diane Kruger will be the face of Calvin Klein's newest fragrance, "Beauty." The fragrance's notes are a mystery, and will remain so until fall, when the line launches. Kruger will star in the global print and television advertising campaign. Here's a sneak peek at the ad. Kruger, known for her style perhaps more so than for her acting, also is the face of L'Oreal Paris, representing the brand's hair care, hair color, and makeup, in particular its latest foundation, Mat'Morphose.
