What does it take to be deigned a style icon? If anyone knows it’s Sofia Coppola.
. “When I was a teenager my dad was friends with Carole Bouquet, who was the face of Chanel at that time in the ’80s. She was the one that introduced me to Chanel,” Coppola remembers. “I remember her dressing in Chanel and being really chic. That made a big impression on me … she was my main introduction to Chanel—and to my obsession.”
Coppola is celebrating that obsession, and all things Coco-esque, with a new short film that marks the opening of the brand’s Mademoiselle Privé exhibit in Tokyo. In the exhibit, guests will be able to walk through three distinct areas that show off the house’s history as a couturier, perfumer, and jewelry maker—all of which is represented in Coppola’s short through found footage from the brand archive.
In the film, footage of Catherine Deneuve, Romy Schneider, Lily-Rose Depp, and more are collaged together in contrast with Grimes’s “Oblivion,” the song acting as a nod to the kinetic energy of Tokyo. “It's a montage to show the spirit of Chanel, which is a mix of high couture, playfulness, femininity, as well as Coco’s idea of the modern woman,” Coppola says. “I just love it,” she continues of Chanel’s vision of fashion.
In addition to relating to the brand’s own insouciant style, Coppola also has a long history with its former creative director Karl Lagerfeld, having been an intern for him at Chanel in her teens. “It definitely made a huge impression on me, seeing the way they put fashion together with a playfulness about it,” she says of her intern days at Chanel headquarters at. “Karl was a also big influence on me because he was so creative and did so many different things, like photography and film.
