Venue Changes
When it comes to movies, I'm a sucker for beautiful sets and stunning costumes. That's partially why I'm so excited about seeing the biopic about Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel's early years, Coco Avant Chanel. Starring Audrey Tautou as well as many fabulous costumes, which were created by Catherine Leterrier, this film opens in the US in mid-September. I was so taken with the costumes that I decided to see how I could translate Leterrier's lovely creations to the home world.
>> The English-Speaking Coco Avant Chanel Trailer Is Out —We've seen the French trailer for Coco Avant Chanel, the silent trailer, and now finally there's an English-language trailer. There's still a few months before the movie hits theaters in limited released Sept. 25, so for now, this will have to suffice. [Elle]
>> INSIDER WIRE —The Coco Chanel biopic in which Audrey Tautou plays the designer, Coco Avant Chanel, finally has a release date for the US . . . and an "English language" trailer in which there is no dialogue — compare with the French version. It comes out in limited release on Sept. 25 — just two weeks after The September Issue hits theaters — and so far, seems to be positively received. [Telegraph UK]
Isn't Audrey a vision in Chanel? At the Paris premiere of the hotly anticipated Coco Chanel bio-flick, Coco Avant Chanel, she wore a black-and-white floral frock from Lagerfeld's Spring couture collection. She contrasted the prim with a not-so-prim cropped black leather jacket. Swirly black leather Sergio Rossi sandals and a green cocktail ring make for unique accessories. We haven't seen our Fabcon in a while, and can't wait to see more premiere looks from the pseudo Coco.

After much anticipation, the first Coco Avant Chanel movie trailer starring our fabulous Fabcon, Audrey Tautou, has finally released. The preview is in French, but that doesn't mean we can't come to our own conclusions about the plot. We do know it focuses on her earlier life, growing up and the budding stages of the house of Chanel. Judging from the steamy love scenes, crazy fights, and decadent clothes, I gather this to be an amazing period romance filled with action, love, and betrayal. But that's just my opinion. The film premieres in France April 22 and a US release date is still to be decided. Enjoy!

>> INSIDER WIRE —We've seen a smattering of stills from Coco avant Chanel, a biopic of Gabrielle Chanel's early years featuring Audrey Tautou as the designer, but the first trailer finally dropped today. The film is premiering in France first — April 22 — before it hits the US later this year on a to-be-determined date, so unfortunately the trailer is in French with no subtitles. But it does give a glance at the film-to-be . . . [Allocine]
