View the stunning Chanel Athletics campaign images and go behind-the-scenes at the shoot in the paradisal Cap d’Antibes

Another day, another creation from the prolific genius that is Karl Lagerfeld. Earlier this week, it was Chanel couture, this month it’s the international KARL pop-ups for the collection released THIS SECOND, and today it’s the ad campaign he shot for the Spring 2012 Chanel Athletics collection. The truly exquisite shots feature Joan Smalls and Saskia de Brauw doing sporty things over the ocean in Le Cap d’Antibes in frothy, pleated, and poofed dresses. Dare we say, the behind-the-scenes shots are equally as spellbinding. Images of a team—which included the Kaiser and Carine Roitfeld, to name a few—whisking through the ocean, have us counting down to our own vacations.
