Spring/Summer 2014 is Freja Beha Erichsen’s second season as the face of Zadig & Voltaire, but now she turns her hand to designing. Creating a rock chic collection, in support of international charity Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders), an association that provides a combination of health treatments and interventions in the field from care-givers of different nationalities. The collection itself is a perfect combination of androgynous, casual and timeless outfits, fusing together both Freja’s personal style and the Zadig & Voltaire aesthetic: “Rock as a universal language. Wings as a symbol of positive attitude. Zadig & Voltaire brings fashion to the liberated woman, the real woman, a woman free to express herself.”

Key pieces from the range are white, khaki or black T-shirts, denim and leather jackets and leather bags, all of which donate 40% of their profits to Médecins Sans Frontières. The three major pieces of the capsule collection feature a capital ‘F’, Freja’s initial and ’87’, her date of birth.

Forget the LBD — as Chanel proves with its exhibition opening in New York today, it’s all about the LBJ. The show is the latest endeavour in the brand’s The Little Black Jacket: CHANEL’s classic revisited by Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld series, which debuted in Tokyo earlier this year with the release of a 113 image strong hardcover book.

Accompanying the photography exhibit including portraits of Elle Fanning, Linda Evangelista, Tilda Swinton and Freja Beha Erichsen, all captured through Lagerfeld’s lens, is an online incarnation of the project.

The digital platform allows not only a chance to go behind the scenes of the extensive photo shoot, but also to see how the piece in question is handcrafted in Chanel’s ateliers. Just like the fashion house’s trademark piece, it’s the perfect fusion of an iconic classic with striking modernity.

The Little Black Jacket: CHANEL’s classic revisited by Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld is on display at 18 Wooster Street, New York, until June 15.

Is it us or do these rather magnificent mannequins spotted in the Prada window look uncannily like Twin’s favourite model, Freja Beha Erichsen? Clever Miuccia. Ok so it’s not Freja’s typical tomboyish look – but we covet the hell out these summery, graphic print day dresses. Next stop Portofino.
