Probably the only Chanel freebie that isn't a shopping bag

Forget PhoneSaber and Remote. My new favorite iPhone application is Chanel's. Actually, it doesn't even do much (no games or anything) but it does link to a fabulously clear video of the Fall Winter 2008/9 Haute Couture Show. Also, it links to 64 shots of Looks and Accessories, Chanel News in French and English, and even a store locator if I happen to be strolling around and have the sudden urge to head to the nearest Chanel retailer. Right.

This is the first fashion-related application I've seen for the iPhone. Leave it to Karl and his 70ish iPods to work some fancy Chanelements into an Apple product. Rumor has it that Gucci will have an app too, but I haven't seen any screenshots. Who knew these fashion houses could be so nerdy?

Speaking of Karl, I think I would actually wear this shirt. Too bad it only ships to the UK!
