I kinda wish it was an English translation being shown in America but either way my jaw DROPPED when I saw this trailer and I will DEFINITELY be seeing this flick. I'm expecting it to be as good as "The Devil Wears Prada" (which was PHENOMENAL to say the least)

What else must be said???

Fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld has directed a high-budget 10-minute short film to pay homage to French fashion pioneer Coco Chanel. This glamorous silent film has premiered last week in Paris at the Le Ranelagh theater. Edita Vilkeviciute will portray the young Coco from 1913, when the legendary designer first set up shop. Along with Vilkeviciute, the film will feature model Brad Koenig, Lady Amanda Harlech and the actual workers from the Chanel atelier used as actors to keep the authenticity to the visuals. The mini-film was shot in two days outside of a Paris movie studio.
