| Dec 06: While some escape to Mustique this time of year, we can't think of a better way to spend the holidays than with Uncle Karl in Monte Carlo. After all, one can't find the same mix of messed-up royals, poodles in diamond chokers and aristocrats with bad gambling habits in the Grenadines. That's what the peripatetic Karl Lagerfeld must have thought when he decided to present Chanel's pre-fall '07 collection in the tiny principality with a big casino. The recent royal excursion was an extravagant all-day affair involving a fashion show, dinner and party, attended by Princess Caroline, her photogenic offspring and an international coterie of VIPs. But for those who couldn't make it, a taste can be had on the tech-savvy label's website. In fact, the glitzy domain is always worth a visit, faithfully logging Lagerfeld's frequent travels and spectacular fashion shows with more videos than any other fashion house in the age of YouTube. And while you're there, you can conveniently jump over to the e-commerce-enabled fragrance and beauty section to stock up on flacons of No. 5 and for some last minute gift-shopping. With its flashy accessory displays and up-to-the-minute podcasts, Coco's online home is impressively au courant. Then again, we'd expect nothing less from a name synonymous with modernity.
