Confirmed: Alice Dellal is the new face of Chanel
Well, we certainly didn't see this one coming. Karl Lagerfeld is well known for his intensive relationships with his various muses - Lily Allen, Blake Lively, Florence Welch, Keira Knightley, the list is endless - but his latest? Punk-rock party girl, Alice Dellal.
With her facial piercings and half-shaved head, it's probably fair to say that she's not your typical Chanel woman, but Alice (who is also a drummer in all-girl rock group Thrush Metal) has been selected to be the face of Karl's new Boy Chanel handbag collection.
"[Karl Lagerfeld] had a crush on this unique, charistmatic young lady, who is both a model and musician, during a photo shoot several months ago," reads a statement from Chanel.
"This previously unforseen alliance finally became self-evident. Alice Dellal represents the perfect incarnation of all that is unique about the Boy Chanel handbag collection which strives far from conformist notions of femininity."
"Ultra-modern, refined and mysterious, Alice Dellal is the latest in the line of Chanel muses, each boasting there own inimitable allure."
Well there you have it. What do you make of Miss Dellal becoming a Chanel girl? Let us know in a comment below.
The full Boy Chanel ad campaign starring Alice is set for release in March 2012.
