I know this was officially revealed a few months ago now and might be slightly old news, however re-scanning this months vogue- before the release of the September issue- comfortably confirms my theories that Kristen Stewart is undoubtedly perfect as the new face of Chanel. For multiple reasons (including the whole R-Patz scandal) Kristen has subtly begun to morph our perception of her, leading us to see her as this edgy, raw, imperfect young woman that we all secretly admire. Yes she has her flaws, and perhaps isn't quite as glamorous as Keira Knightley for Coco Mademoiselle, but she certainly obtains attention; breezily exhibiting her intense nature across a three page spread in July's vogue.
Her honest, gritty attitude coheres utterly with that of Karl's, making her ideal for Chanel's A/W 14 campaign, as well as ensuring her a new friend in the force behind the label.
