How To Spend It magazine highlights the legendary rowing duel between the British universities of Oxford and Cambridge – and, of course, the new main sponsor: none other than the House of CHANEL. James HARVEY-KELLY c/o LGA MANAGEMENT was commissioned to illustrate the article.

Chanel is now the title sponsor and official timekeeper of the world's most famous rowing competition. The "Chanel J12 Boat Race" is Chanel's first sports sponsorship, featuring the bestselling J12 chronograph watch. Launched in 2000, the J12 is available in white or black ceramic and is now considered an icon of CHANEL watchmaking. The Chanel watchmaking factory is located in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland.

The rowing competition was founded in 1829 between the universities of Oxford and Cambridge and is based on a simple principle: every spring, two eight-person crews row four miles and 374 yards upriver from Putney Bridge to Mortlake. The first to reach the finish line wins. The race is watched by approximately 200,000 spectators along the route, and the global audience is estimated at around 100 million sports enthusiasts.

"I am sure it's perceived as unexpected. I had been thinking for years about timekeeping and synchronicity and how you express that," said Frédéric Grangié, President of Chanel Watches and Fine Jewellery, about the long-term partnership.

And timing is, as we all know, everything: the 2025 race will coincide with the 100th anniversary of Chanel's presence in Great Britain and the 25th anniversary of the release of the J12 watch.

The VOGUE spread featuring mother-daughter duo Karen Elson and Scarlett White was photographed by Annie Leibovitz and styled by family friend Tabitha Simmons.

It was shot in the house Karen Elson bought upstate a year ago with her current husband Lee Foster, co-owner of Electric Lady Studios.

'The 18-year-old, Elson's first child with her rock star ex-husband Jack White, spent her childhood in Nashville, largely out of the spotlight. But after moving to New York City for art school—and being repeatedly stopped on the street by model scouts, struck by the alabaster skin she inherited from her mother and the deep brown eyes she inherited from her father—White accepted that a diversion into the fashion industry was all but inevitable,' writes Vogue writer Liam Hess.

Englishwoman Karen Elson was discovered at the age of 16 by Debra Burns, owner of Boss Model Management in Manchester. She began modeling and left Oldham a year later. Steven Meisel photographed Elson for the cover of Italian Vogue on her 18th birthday, launching her global career.

From 2005 to 2013, Karen Elson was married to American musician Jack White. They are the parents of two children, Scarlett Teresa White (born 2006) and Henry Lee White (born 2007).
