Chanel is opening a new boutique at the Pennisula in Shanghai's historic riverfront promenade. And because nothing sells women's clothing like a shirtless guy, Karl Lagerfeld has designed the ad campaign around his boytoy and muse Baptiste Giabiconi. But of course, darling. Don't get me wrong: I love it. I love Baptiste, and I love Chanel. I'm just a little worried about the depth of Karl's passion and the obvious seeds of obsession he is sowing here. There is only one possible ending to this story, obvs: A tragic murder/suicide when Baptiste leaves Karl for me. It's gonna get ugly, y'all. (via Ooh La La)
