Karl Lagerfeld was spotted this past week at the Chanel boutique on Rue Royale in Paris, shooting the press kit for Chanel’s pre-spring collection entitled Starting Point. The shoot was not only intriguing because of models Lara Stone and Baptiste Giacobini, but also because of the appearance of a custom designed Chanel motorcycle, customized for the famed fashion house in Toulouse, France.

We have seen the fashion label lollipops not long ago, and now here come the fashion cupcakes. Shot by Swedish photographer Therese Aldgard and styled by Lisa Edsalv, the two created a fantastic line-up of cupcake sets. They were inspired by Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Christian Louboutin and Betsey Johnson.
Jinyoung Jo is a car designer at Hong-ik University in South Korea, and this is her creation: the Chanel Fiole concept. As with classic Coco Chanel work, the design of the car was centered on simplicity of lines and “the best of black and white.” As with most concepts, there was also an emphasis on airflow. The car seats three, two abreast and one staggered in between — but it’s probably best considered a sleek two-seater for runway types.
CHANEL announced the creation of the above urban personal transporter, which seems to have more fun than a bike and it looks as crazy as rollerblades.The rich-rider drives it by leaning in the direction he or she wants to go at speeds of nearly 20kph.

Note to all our ground troops: There’s no reason to forfeit your swag just because you’re balls deep in downtown Fallujah. This past weekend, artist Peter Gronquist hit LA’s Gallery 1988 and displayed his works that consist of decked out artillery that put T.I’s standard weapon stash to shame. By hooking up high-powered machinery, like AK’s, rifles, chainsaws and even an electric chair in Gucci, Louis Vuittion, Versace, Coach, Burberry and Fendi prints Gronquist may solely bridge the gap between label-conscious metros and blood-thirsty meatheads. Obviously, the semi-WMD’s are for style and not popping off, but they’re still dope to look at. Check the full line of uzi’s and havoc-causing tools after the jump.
