Coco Chanel comes to life in Karl Lagerfeld’s ‘The Return’

The couture brand revealed a teaser for its short film "The Return," written and directed by Chanel's creative director Karl Lagerfeld. In around half an hour, this short film depicts episodes from the life and career of Gabrielle Chanel, aka Coco, portrayed by British-American actress Geraldine Chaplin. "The Return" focuses primarily on Coco Chanel's return to the fashion scene, and on the reopening of her couture house in Paris in 1954. Karl Lagerfeld also hopes to underscore the designer's relationship with American culture.
