Lily to wed in Chanel




After getting engaged to boyfriend Sam Cooper at Christmas, Lily Allen has picked her long time friend, Chanel's Karl Lagerfeld, to design her wedding gown. The singer-turned vintage store owner visited Paris this week and stopped by the designer's studio before attending his Chanel show as part of Fashion Week on Tuesday. After returning to the UK, Allen went on Twitter to urge her followers not to watch a new television documentary all about her fashion business Lucy in Disguise.


Riches To Rags recently aired on Channel 4 and tells the story of how the singer and her older sister Sarah Owen set up the boutique. Quotes from the show have been released regarding an eating disorder Allen suffered from in the past. However, on Twitter, she said, "Coverage of it has been totally sensationalised and quotes taken out of context."


Over the years, Lily Allen's wardrobe has become the envy of millions of women, so it comes as no surprise that her vintage clothing store opened to rave reviews. Lily and sister Sarah Owen opened Lucy In Disguise last September after the singer announced she was quitting music in favour of a new career in fashion.


With a love of Nike Air Max 90s, vintage prom dresses and Marc Jacobs handbags, Lily's style is as eclectic as her taste in music. For years, her pairing of pouffed-out prom dresses and distressed sneakers has been chronicled in the fashion pages of tabloids - but that's not to say she doesn't appreciate a 5-inch Christian Louboutin heel.


"They're really good for dancing in just because they make you hold your body in a completely different way," she said in an interview with WWD. Lily often performs in heels, too. They go perfectly with her on-stage getups - which mirror her offstage looks - of Fifties-style frocks and 70’s inspired jumpsuits.
