Karl Lagerfeld has been spotted for a while with a Chanel iPad case, but it has never been available at retail. That is about to change, as the case has made it into the Spring/Summer 2012 Pre-Collection of the French luxury brand. Not only does the case come with the signature Chanel quilted lambskin upper, it can also house not one, but two iPhones along with the iPad. Look out for it at stores now.

Artist Retna was recently commissioned by Chanel to paint their Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills, flagship store in Los Angeles. The artist added his iconic graphics to the entrance and interior of the store. We especially like the tonal black paint that was applied to the black entrance wall, setting a nice but subtle accent.

Check out more images from the store and the artist working on it after the jump.

When it comes to these kinds of projects nobody can mess with Parisian concept store colette. Just a couple of weeks ago Nike presented its new French Away Team Kit, paying homage to the iconic white/navy striped pattern, made famous as well by designers such as Jean-Paul Gaultier. I think we can all agree that the jersey came out very nice.

With The Away Project, colette is celebrating the Away Kit by bringing on collaborators from all sorts of areas, presenting their product also with the “mariniere” striped pattern. Included in the line-up of collaborations is a watch with Swatch, pen with Montblanc, perfume with Comme des Garcons, bag with Longchamp and Chanel, scarf with Hermes, macarons with Laduree, cosmetics with YSL and more.

colette will setup a fully striped corner on their 1st floor on March 28th and the project runs until April 9th.

Now head on after the jump to see all the product from The Away Project.

Today we had a chance to visit the opening of the Chanel Pop-Up shop hosted in collaboration with colette. On display were an assortment of classic Chanel products, such as quilted bags, leather gloves and various apparel. Guests were treated to cupcakes, and artist Kevin Lyons, who recent held an exhibition at the shop, was on hand customizing bags and adding Chanel influenced imagery to the space. Overall an impressive event with many more to follow. The pop-up store is also located close to the colette store, so make sure to pass by.

Chanel was without a doubt the one brand to make the use of ceramic popular a few years ago, when introducing the J12 watch. In the mean time the black and white ceramic versions of the watch have been a huge success and in time for Basel World the brand is about to introduce a very interesting new version of the watch – the J12 Ceramic Titanium. More masculine in looks, the watch comes in a steel grey colorway, with all parts being made of ceramic and titanium.

Another look at the watch follows after the jump.

Chanel is one of those luxury brands, that always stuck to their classic aesthetics over the years, while also showing some great innovation. Karl Lagerfeld still impresses us with his creativity and drive to surprise the crowds. During the last Chanel fashion show they presented the new Perspex Briefcase. The execution of this suitcase is brilliant in terms of look and concept. Via Artschoolvets.

Every season French luxury brand Chanel tends to come out with one special item, that you would usually not find from a brand in their category. In recent seasons we have seen bikes, a snowboard, skis, and also a fishing rod. Let’s be clear right from the start – these items are not made for enthusiasts in the category. You will never see a dedicated fisher use the Chanel fishing rod or a daily biker using the Chanel bike. These items are made for people that want something out of the ordinary, for fans of the Chanel brand.

For Spring/Summer 2009 they have once again made such an item – a guitar. Just like all the other items from previous seasons, the guitar also comes in all black, with white accents, and is wrapped in a signature quilted white Chanel leather guitar bag. Look out for its release in Chanel stores soon.

More detailed views of the Chanel guitar and the bag follow after the jump.
