Rouge Coco: Mademoiselle's Favorite Lipstick

Gabrielle Chanel was fascinated by lipstick to such an extent that she created a creamy stick of lip colour in 1954 that she inserted in a rectangular tube, the exact replica of the No 5 spray bottle.  She even reserved the famous leather compartment inside each 2.55 quilted handbag.  This historic lipstick has continuously adapted to new technological innovations.

Coco Avant Chanel Movie Trailer Is Here

After months of hype, the trailer of the biopic about Coco Chanel's early years, Coco Avant Chanel, has finally arrived. The preview is all in French with no subtitles since the film opens in France on April 22, before its U.S. debut, but that is no reason not to watch. One can deduce that the film includes love, sex, wild parties, fighting, spectacular cinematography, and lovely costumes, which Karl Lagerfeld oversaw.

The trailer sends chills up and down my spine as I've been waiting for a little peek into this film. Can't wait to get wrapped up in the romance, the scenery, the characters and of course - the fashion. If you saw the Lifetime Channel's Coco Chanel movie and were disappointed (like me - I knew I would be, shouldn't have watched it), don't let it keep you from this splendid version. C'est magnifique! With Audrey Tautou and Allesandro Nivola as the main characters - this is destined to be scrumptious. (did you see Nivola in Laurel Canyon? Brilliant)
