Joan Smalls Shares Her Recipe for Success

Oh how we love our Joan!
According to Joan, “Wolf hair. That’s the weirdest thing in my handbag, I met a lady at the airport who rescues wolves. She had wolf hair in a little vial and she gave it to me for good luck, to always keep with me.”

Chanel Cruise 2015

Our fav Puerto Rican glamazon, Joan Smalls is the face of the new Chanel Cruise 2015 ad campaign. Originally presented in Dubai, the collection was shot by Uncle Karl Lagerfeld.  Joan is photographed wearing patterned looks from the cruise collection, which is said to be inspired by orient romanticism. The campaign also features Hudson Kroenig, (Karl's godson) and the son of model, Brad Kroenig. There has been a bit of controversy surrounding this editorial as Hudson's presence seems unnecessary; almost like he is a prop. Although we will always love Chanel, it definitely doesn't give us a "romantic" feel. What are your thoughts dolls and gents?
