Dellal, the model, punk drummer and sister of Charlotte Olympia designer Charlotte Dellal , has posed for the new campaign for Chanel’s Boy handbag range.
Chanel explained the choice in a near-incomprehensible statement to WWD:
‘Lagerfeld had a crush on this unique, charismatic young lady, who is both a model and musician, during a photo shoot several months ago. This previously unforeseen alliance finally became self-evident. Alice Dellal represents the perfect incarnation of all that is unique about the Boy Chanel handbag collection, which strives [to be] far from conformist notions of femininity.’
In short: Karl liked her. He really, really liked her, enough to photograph her for the campaign himself. In a preview image released to the industry paper, Dellal sits on a desk in an antique-furnished apartment, dressed in a white chanel dress and clutching a grey handbag.
Dellal follows previous muses Blake Lively , Lily Allen and Diane Kruger into Chanel’s good graces.
