Everyone is talking about the CHANEL commercial

With Brad, Penelope, and this Dutch woman

By

Whenever the great minds of CHANEL get the chance, they draw back on the past of Gabrielle – Coco – Chanel. Fortunately, that past is rich and colorful, so there is always a nice hook to hang the new collection on. The theme of Tuesday's show was Deauville, the seaside resort where wealthy Parisians spend their weekends. That’s why Gabrielle Chanel also opened her first boutique there. Businesslike as she was, she knew she had to be where the money was. And she succeeded. Deauville is also the backdrop of Un homme et une femme, the classic film in which Anouk Aimée and Jean-Louis Trintignant fall in love.

CHANEL and Deauville merge in the short film that Inez and Vinoodh made starring Brad Pittand Penelope Cruz, who step into the shoes of Jean Louis Trintignant and Anouk Aimée. A couple at a table in a restaurant that wants to quickly finish the dining part and then has only one agenda item left: each other.

In this version, Brad and Angelina are served by Rianne van Rompaey, the Dutch top model who has acting aspirations and is making a delicious first step with this. In the background, we see Deauville and hear that delightful music from Un homme et une Femme by Francis Lai. And the Oscar for best supporting role naturally goes to that lovely little bag on the corner of the table.
