CHANEL REDUX

Am I psychic? As you can see, timing on the Chanel Triton post was perfect; Chanel have just released a video, 'Vol de Jour' (Flight Days), directed by Karl Lagerfeld himself, using the custom machine, with 'actors' Lara Stone and Baptiste Giacobini cast as shoppers-in-a-hurry.  Our heroes steal the Triton, carrying their helmets on their elbows (and what message are we sending here?  I know, all that hair cost a lot of money...).  Curiously, they abandon the ultra-cool motorcycle outside a Chanel boutique, in order to stuff their logo bags into a microcar driven by an associate.  Plot?  No, but clarity isn't the point, breathless shopping is the point!  And Lara Stone's legs; astounding.

I'm happy to see the motorcycle being used, and the filmmaker does halt a moment to give us an extended glance at the machine.
