Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel has always been interested in the arts and her passion has echoed throughย the worlds of dance, theatre and film by designing costumes. Ever since then, the maison has had strong ties to the world of cinema (including being a sponsor of the Tribeca Film Festival) and now, it’s looking to strengthen its links to the industry.
News emerged that the French luxury house will officially become a partner for the upcoming edition of the Deauville Americanย Filmย Festival.
Set to take place in September, the film festival will celebrate its 45th edition and is considered to be the largest European festival devoted to American cinema.
For the upcoming season, the jury forย Prix de la Rรฉvรฉlation (awarded to up-and-coming talents), will be headed by French actress Anna Mouglali, who also happens to be aย Chanel brand ambassador. Also, former face of Chanel’s iconic No.5 perfume, Catherine Deneuve will head the festivalโs main jury.
We’re certain that we’ll be seeing a slew of celebrities dressed in the brand on the red carpet โ perhaps brand ambassadors Keira Knightley, Kristen Stewart, Penรฉlope Cruz or Margot Robbie, hopefully.
The Deauville Americanย Filmย Festival will be taking placeย from September 6-15.
