Lily Chanel-len

Let it be known: Karl Lagerfeld is into indie chicks! And he's so over Lindsay Blohan. We saw Karl's CD compilation tracklist feature The Pipettes, and we know he's hot for Chan, but this move seals it. The UK chart-topping princess of MySpace, Ms. Lily Allen, has been identified and secured as the inspiration for Chanel's '07 fashion line. The Guardian quotes a "fashion source":

Lily burst on to the scene as the Queen of Chav with her trainers and huge gold earrings. So it's hilarious she has been asked to work with Chanel. Nothing has been set in stone but Karl believes she has come up with a look that will define 2007.
Well, the thought of a parade of Lilys strutting down Parisian runways is mildly amusing. So is this gonna make you indie girls buy more Chanel? We're just glad to have an excuse to post that picture again. (wink)

americans please note the yellow smiley acid house symbol on the Lily Allen's flank. this was a portent of new rave eating the UK.

beware new rave, you'll spend all your cash on fun! (rather than dour singer songwriter miserablism).

Also, Lily is not a chav (unlike lady sov) - her "street" accent is fake, and her mum's a film producer, she's never mugged anyone for their ipod to sell for crack.

AND, have a look at several pictures of Allen - that cutesy tip-of-tongue-tween-teeth thing starts to grate after a while.

good tunes though. (the reggae originals she sampled/ ripped off, that is)

A chav/ned is basically a football hooligan, sort of 'white trash'/ghetto equivalent. Basically, Lady Sov. as people said.
And she is NOT chav.
They'd never wear a smiley face pin or have cool sunglasses like that.
