Sofia Coppola, a long-time friend of Chanel, has made a video in tribute to the brand, highlighting some of the labels most iconic imagery. Created ahead of the Mademoiselle Privé exhibition being held in Tokyo, the film reflects Coppola’s perspective of the French fashion house.
Opening with French actress Catherine Deneuve starring in an early Chanel advert, the film then goes on to show some of Chanel’s most recognisable shows. From early presentations to the AW19 collection, were Virginie Viard made her debut for the house, the short film also features Karl Largerfeld alongside some of his muses.
Compiling famous adverts, campaigns, and some behind the scenes shots of the atelier, the film aptly highlights the evolution of Chanel from an early 20th Century Parisian house, founded by the infamous, and infamously controversial Coco Chanel, to the multi-billion pound fashion force it is today.
Starring everyone from the likes of Marylin Monroe to Kate Moss; Pharell to Lily-Rose Depp; Tilda Swinton to Jackie Kennedy, the tribute is set along to music by Grimes.
