Now we shouldn't get
too excited here yet, but...
Will Karl Come to New York's Fashion Week?
Chanel and Peggy Siegal to host a September 13 screening of Coco Avant Chanel
Tuesday, August 18, 2009
(NEW YORK) After-party invites and moderately-stuffed gift bags aren't the only perks front-rowers will be receiving this Fashion Week. On September 13, Peggy Siegal and Chanel will co-host an exclusive screening of this season's most anticipated fashion film,
Coco Avant Chanel, which premiered in Paris in April. Directed by
Anne Fontaine, the bio-pic follows a young yet always-controversial Mme. Coco (played by a fresh-faced
Audrey Tatou) through her ingenious antics, endless cigarettes and ultimate rise to fashion fame.
No stranger to fusing Fashion Week and film, Chanel most recently teamed up with
Vogue and Cinema Society last September to premiere
The Duchess, which coaxed
Keira Knightley and her co-stars to the Cooper Square Hotel. We have yet to discover which of Karl's creations will grace Tatou, but perhaps suggest one of the diaphanous gowns (
avec train) shown at couture will do? The film hits the masses on September 25, when it will be released in Los Angeles and New York.
