Chanel Chanel

The world of fashion has produced no greater designer and no more charismatic figure than Coco Chanel, who died in 1971. This film tells her fascinating rags-to-riches story and looks at the Chanel fashion house, flourishing under the auspices of top designer Karl Lagerfeld. The film contrasts the theatre of his large-scale shows with the comparative austerity of the old-style Chanel presentations and assesses the impact of the Chanel legacy on Lagerfeld's work.
