One Girl

Seven Chanel campaigns overall

Five in a row

Three solo campaigns

One girl

It really doesn't get any better than that. As WWD tells us, the F/W 11 12 Chanel campaign was shot in Paris and styled by none other than Carine Roitfeld. With the darker and tougher collection, Carine styling and Freja modeling, the results should be nothing short of amazing.

But wait, it does get better.....kind of. Depends on whether you enjoy Karl's short films, because he's shooting another one for the upcoming Chanel Cruise collection.
"To wit: Lagerfeld has assembled a slew of his favorite ladies — including Erichsen, Lady Amanda Harlech, Anna Mouglalis and Kristen McMenamy — to star in a movie he is making in tandem with the Chanel cruise collection he will show in Antibes on May 9. It will be shot in Monaco and other locations in the South of France."
With this 7th Chanel campaign under her belt, Freja sits firmly at the top of the modeling world. I started this blog partly so I could vent about what I saw as her wasted potential back in '08 and '09, but now that she's so successful I really don't know what this blog stands for anymore. Maybe it's segued into an homage, or a place to talk about the work free from petty gossip, or a force of writing habit, or.....I don't know. Whatever it is, I'm just so happy and proud that we've all been able to witness the changes, the ups and downs, and the transformations as they've happened.

Such good news! Looking forward to the images. The short movies are always fun to watch - also, not to take too seriously, I think. :)

Rose, I like your remarks re: your blog, also. I think it has evolved just as it's subject and her career have. Success has been attained yet who knows what the next metamorphosis will be. Therein lies the excitement.

@ newman: Yeah, definitely not to be taken too seriously. But I still kind of cringe from second hand embarrassment...lol.

@ Gladdis: I don't think anyone can imagine Chanel without Freja, and vice versa. Luckily, we don't have to right now! :)

i saw on T.Sina.Com.Cn that someone posted a new campaign pic of Harry Winston starring Freja. the style looks similar to the her previous Winston campaign but the hairdo is different. The poster mentioned shes continued as the face of Harry Winston for this season. I think she probably signed the contract for Harry Winston for 1 yr (2 seasons). I wonder if it's the same for H&M...

I'm looking forward to Karl's new film. These little fashion shorts are gems and give the brand a new medium of expression. If I can recall the last one was called Remember Now and was filmed in Saint Tropez for the S/S 2011 resort collection with Freja and Abbey flaneuring around the docks after dancing the night away (^_^). The line up for the new film is looking good with Anna Mouglalis as icing on the cake. I loved her performance in Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky. She embodied Coco in a way that no other actress has been able to thus far.

I saw freja today having dinner at a restaurant in bond street in london this evening! have been such a fan of hers and couldn't believe my luck. tried to get a picture but it was too dark in the restaurant, she was wearing dark skinny jeans, a baggy black and green tie-dye style top, green scarf and flats. she had her hair up and fringe pinned back x
