David Lynch LOVES Chanel & Gucci
The haute couture shows are happening in Paris and we only wish that we could get a comment from director David Lynch about his take on the Chanel collection. (See him pictured left with guests and a Chanel goody bag.) Maybe Lynch--known for his anachronistic, Jimmy Stewart-inspired patois-- would smile dreamily and say, "Golly gee, those ensembles sure were wowie!" Of course, the auteur must know his Alaia from his elbow. He was with style icon and model Isabella Rossellini from 1987 to 1991. Not to mention the fact that his films are much like couture shows: fanciful, irrational, and studded with more vibrant colors than a Pucci mini dress. The Stylephile also reports with glee that Lynch, 61, will direct the next Gucci commercial for its latest eponymous perfume.
Gucci's parent company (for the fragrance only--should have specified, sorry--ed.) Procter & Gamble released a statement which indicated why the man who forever immortalized a severed ear in "Blue Velvet" should tackle the task: “Lynch was selected for his holistic ability as an artist, his professional experience and knowledge, his never-ending research for beautiful images, his use of music and his modernity.” Um, P&G neglected to commend his coif, a tornedo of adorable. 
What to expect? Well, the notion of a dab of perfume behind the ear would be particularly striking if that ear happened to be, say, unattached to a model and languishing on a grassy knoll.

this is hardly news. Lynch takes bids to do two commercials yearly. he does it to keep his chops honed (and pay the bills).Posted by poopstain | Jul 7 2007 10:29AM
Bad wording -- I meant the parent company of Gucci fragrances, not the fashion house. Not a joke, apparently. Huh certainly isn't laughing.Posted by Monica | Jul 6 2007 10:10AM
Is this a joke? "Gucci parent company Procter & Gamble"? Gucci's owner is PPR.Posted by Huh | Jul 6 2007 9:47AM
Lynch's hair was much better back in the days before he gave up sugar and started meditating, right?Posted by Cinefile | Jul 3 2007 5:18PM
Can't wait for commercial. He should design clothes too.Posted by Lynch Lovah | Jul 3 2007 5:17PM

The Stylephile is a potent cocktail of sweet and sour musings on the culture of keeping up appearances. Style should never be a humorless pursuit. Let style editor Caroline Ryder entertain you.
