Happy 100 years Chanel! What a wonderful 100 years it has been, and
no better way to celebrate than with a short film made by Karl himself,
starring Keira Knightley as Gabriele ‘Coco’ Chanel alongside other famous
actresses.
The cute ‘Once Upon a Time’ film gives us a
twenty minute look into the beginning of Chanel and how the strong minded
Gabrielle slowly but surely built up her clientele from her minimalist hat shop
(quite a contrast to the heavily embellished styles of the current Chanel
collection!)
I think this lovely little black and white
film is a great little watch and re-afirms Chanels position in the fashion
world- really making us reflect on the label’s look and heritage. The film has a modern and fresh feel, but reminds
us of Chanel’s heritage and how far their influence continues to grow.
The only critism I can give is I think the
film should have been in French throughout, just to maintain their “je ne sais
quoi”.
