The life of one of fashion’s most beloved designers is hitting the big-screen, Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel , in the upcoming French film Coco avant Chanel (translates Coco Before Chanel). Her story is being recreated to celebrate her unforgettable influence in fashion and tell the story of a woman determined to succeed through her desires and experiences before she was even famous. The best part about this film is for us fashion gurus… we get our complete fashion-fixation while Karl Lagerfeld reproduces some of Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel’s original costumes and accessories!! [sigh]
Filming will begin in September in Paris, France. The French film is expected to release in 2009 from Warner Bros. Entertainment. The movie stars young French actress Audrey Tautou as the young Coco. Audrey Tautou is mostly recognized in the U.S. for her role in The Da Vinci Code as Agent Sophie. Audrey also will be the face of Chanel No. 5 in upcoming campaigns and the new commercial. Nicole Kidman was the previous spokes model.
Audrey Tautou told VOGUE.com, “I'm very happy with the script because it is about her youth and the elements which tell us what she would become and why her style is what it is today," she also commented that “It gave me the freedom to be between the image of what people think about her [Chanel] but also her before her success."
I personally will be the first inline when this film hits theaters!ny
