Coco Before Chanel

Vanity Fair, February 2009, Photo by Brigitte Lacombe

Something to look forward to! A new feature film directed by Anne Fontaine about the life of Coco Chanel is being shot, as we speak, in Paris and Normandy. Scheduled to come out in mid-2009...this year is starting to look up. Karl Lagerfeld is supervising costumes....and I can only imagine the beautiful sets if this photo is any indication. It pictures Audrey Tautou, who plays Coco, reclining in a Karl Lagerfeld created suit in a recreation of Coco's apartment in Paris. For more, click here.

Ohlala!

This should be a wonderful movie- besides Coco herself (or Audrey as Coco I suppose) I can't wait to see the fashions and the sets!

how exciting, thanks for sharing the news! Audrey Tautou is so perfect for the role too!

Visual Vamp said...

Poor Coco! Her life has been brought to the stage on Broadway, and recently to Lifetime TV, both results disappointing. I hope this film finally does her justice! It looks very pretty indeed.

I had heard rumors that Keira Knightly was going to play Coco in this film. As much as I love the dear Kiera, Audrey will be absolute perfection! Can't wait!!!
