Long time ago comes to know that Kristen Stewart will be the responsible to embody the biography of Coco Chanel, since the life of this designer has been brought to the big screen in other opportunities. The project is a short film, in which Stewart is expected to achieve to capture of the figure behind the myth that Coco Chanel represents for women from every decade of the world; getting impregnated of all films that have portrayed her.
The film is directed by Karl Lagerfeld, who has managed the collection for a long time; using Kristen as the face of their fashion campaigns for more than five years ago, establishing a professional relationship that gradually has transformed into a friendship.
Each film made by Coco Chanel, represents only small areas of her life; like her youth, her loves, profession, but never an absolute compendium of herself; Coco lived situations that defined her character.
The last time where Coco Chanel was interpreted in the big screen, was in the French film Coco Before Chanel, starring Audrey Tautou, the eternal Amelie; who portrayed the difficult youth of Coco and the processes on creating hats that gave her fame, how she lost her great love; holding above all, her artistic ideals that detail by detail make justice to the interesting life of the woman who loved to mix black and white tones.
The film almost of twelve minutes long called Once and Forever, counts with the participation of Jeremie Elkaim and Geraldine Chaplin; the daughter of the famous actor of all time, Charles Chaplin. In the development of the history we can see all the stages of the designer’s life.
Like all of Stewart’s roles, this is a challenge for her; because the young actress with just 25 years old had to prove her passion for acting to remove the early fame which she got with Twilight. Recently she received a César Award and has reaped successes which have positioned her as a serious actress, so she has perfected her personal style “grunge” and wore clothes from other designers that let her dress according to the events.
This new version of Kristen makes her more attractive for several publishers and acting projects, waiting for a wonderful future if she follows the right path in the industry. The film can be seen on the video channel YouTube, being part of a Karl Lagerfeld’s tradition which allow us to remember how great Chanel is, and what better than with his indisputable muse Kristen Stewart.
