I was watching television and stumbled upon a 30 minute show that you might be interested in watching. Have you heard of Fashion: Backstage Pass on CNN with Alina Cho? I really like it. CNN hasn't done a show like this since STYLE with Elsa Klensch.
Cho was in Paris covering Haute Couture Fashion and interviewed designers Donatella Versace, Marc Jacobs, Karl Lagerfeld and Lenny Kravitz.
I found the Karl Lagerfeld and Lenny
Kravitz interview to be very interesting and decided to share those with you today.This special will re-air on CNN International the week of July 27th. So look for it!
In the Karl Lagerfeld interview, he mentioned Haute Couture is made by hand and can take hundreds of hours to make, CHANEL Haute Couture can cost anywhere from 30K - 250K per item, buyers of Haute Couture are getting younger (the starting age is now between 30-35 years of age), and buyers of Haute Couture are more International (China, Japan, Middle East, Russia, India and Brazil) To view that video click HERE.
In the Lenny Kravitz interview, I found out he is an interior designer, has a home in Paris (he also has homes in Miami, Brazil and the Bahamas) that he's lived in for 7 years, designed the couch and chandelier that's in his home, founded Kravitz Design (CLICK ON THE WEBSITE, it is EXQUISITE) in 2003 (a residential, commercial and product design company) with offices and staff in New York City, has designed condos and hotel suites in Miami and his goal is to make a lifestyle brand. Oh yeah! He also doesn't allow anyone to wear shoes in his home. So make sure you've had your pedicure if you get an invite there ;)
I hurriedly took the video below with my iPhone so excuse the quality, but at least it gives you a glimpse at his Paris home. Start it at :50. Have a Great Monday!
Very nice Kim!! I am def going to check it out when it re airs.
ReplyDeleteYes it did rain in the Nola but I def enjoyed myself. Maybe next time I will get to see you.

Ooh this looks like fun! I was just lusting after a Chanel jacket and wondering if it is worth the splurge!

Lenny Kravitz! I forgot about him.
ReplyDeleteCan I sit down with Lenny??? Pleasseee!!!! So jealous of her!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen this show! Looks interesting ! I love her dress- the print is amazing!

Lenny Kravitz is so dang cool! I totally believe Karl Lagerfeld when he says it takes hundreds of hours to make couture. And it takes seconds to make some disposable clothing in some sweatshops. We need more middle-ground, don't you think?!
ReplyDelete--Vivienne
I sort of forgot that Lenny Kravitz existed. HA!

I haven't heard of this at all! It looks like a pretty interesting program. I may have to check it out! Sorry to hear about the rain in NOLA!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard of this until this post so thanks for sharing it, Kim.
ReplyDeleteI would love to work for Kravitz Designs, and not just because Lenny is awesome and beautiful, but because his stuff looks great!
Ha, I'll definitely get my pedicure lined up for my visit to see Lenny Kravitz! =)
ReplyDeleteHow cool is this series? I had no idea Lenny Kravitz was into interior design. I'm going to watch this tonight, thanks for finding it Kim!

WOW! So Lenny Kravitz really IS like a real-life Cinna? (Hunger Games) That's awesome! Wouldn't you just DIE to work in a building designed by him?! Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteBTW...I didn't get another ticket, just used that Instagram pic for Pic a Day. I'm still mad about it :o)
Saw a preview for this the other day! Looks interesting! :)
ReplyDeleteI lived for style with Elsa! It was the only way I heard of fashion in my tiny town.
ReplyDeleteWow, who knew that about Lenny Kravitz. Aside from being and incredibly sexy rockstar, he has design chops as well. I am intrigued.

Great post Kim! Wish I had that staircase in my home:) Have a fab week!

i had no idea kravitz was in design! that's awesome. and a fashion show on CNN?! i am so out of the loop!
ReplyDelete[oomph.]
That would be a fascinating show, too bad they don't broadcast it here in Finland - at least yet. But thank you for telling the highlights of those two interviews, the facts were really interesting :) Have a lovely week! (hugs!) xoxo <3
ReplyDeleteOooh, loving these snipets--I'm going to have to find this and teevo all of them, thanks Kim for the tip! Hope you're having a wonderful Monday!

Kim, Lenny is hot. Those photos of him are gorgeous. He is so well rounded, I never knew. Great post, I chuckled about the pedicure..too funny. dawn suitcase vignettes xo
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see this - mainly for the Lenny Kravitz portion. Although I will always adore Chanel, I have never been a fan of Karl Lagerfeld and he always winds up irritating me when I hear him speak ;) On the other hand, I am very intrigued by this other life Lenny Kravitz has been living as a designer. I clicked on the link to his designs and they are To. Die. For! Thanks for sharing Kim, I never would have known about them otherwise!
ReplyDeletexox,

This looks so cool and she is so stylish and gorgeous!

So interesting - but oh my gosh, can you imagine spending 250k on an item of clothing?!? Even if I was a billionaire I don't think I could justify it! xo
ReplyDeleteIm working in haute line, its true that it really takes time to make a garment because you really take especially with the fit of your garment and the placement of some things. The workmanship translates to cost, unfortunately.
ReplyDeletethe sad thing is sometimes you are paying so much for these hand made garments whereas the real karigar doesn't get even a fraction..not talking of chanel..but it does happen..haven't seen this show ..seems cool..hope you're having a great day kim!:)
ReplyDeleteI'ce never heard of this show but it definitely sounds like my kind of television. I did not know Lenny Kravitz was an interior designer. Fascinating! Thanks for sharing Kim!
