JERRY HALL TO PLAY COUGAR IN NEW LAGERFELD CHANEL CAMPAIGN
And what a fine cougar she will make
10.12.2008The Cut has confirmed that Karl Lagerfeld will be shooting a Chanel handbag campaign about the relationship between a young man and a woman almost twice his age.
Karl has, quite sensibly I might add, cast Jerry Hall as the cougar!
JE-RRY!
JE-RRY!
JE-RRY!
The Cut reveals:
Karl Lagerfeld will shoot a Chanel handbag campaign inspired by Colette’s Chéri novel, about the relationship between a young man and a woman almost twice his age. Model Baptiste Giabiconi, who appeared in Lagerfeld’s silent film, will play the young man, and Jerry Hall will play the cougar. Giabiconi will appear “seeking her affections on a bed strewn with a quilt — and a quilted bag,” according to WWD. On the heels of Madonna’s Louis Vuitton ads, we’re glad to see fashion designers not ignoring women over 50 this season. After all, aren’t they the ones buying this stuff anyway?
I’m glad they chose Jerry – she would definitely be in my top 10 cougars list. She’d slot very comfortably into The Bascule bar at my former residence, The Cape Grace Hotel.
And, of course, for the laydezz, here is the gent who will be “seeking her affections,” Baptiste Giabiconi.

You’ll be interested to know that, upon searching for this guy on Google, I managed to find this pic of him on a site called HomoTrophy, no less!
Stunning!
