The British actress’ ethereal, feminine style made her perfect for
Chanel. Although she is best known for her appearances in films
including the “Pirates of the Caribbean” series, “Pride & Prejudice”
and “The Imitation Game”, Keira is also a regular in the Chanel front
row. She became the face of Chanel perfume Coco Mademoiselle in
2006 and played Coco Chanel in Lagerfeld’s film “Once Upon a Time”.
Lagerfeld himself applauded her portrayal of Coco Chanel’s innovative
spirit. Recently, Keira got married in a short Chanel wedding dress
and ballet flats, kicking of a trend for non-traditional and rewearable
wedding looks.
KEIRA KNIGHTLEY
The French aristocrat and fashion legend was one
of Lagerfeld’s first muses. Her effortless chic and
infectious smile helped her become the first model in
the 1980s to sign an exclusive contract with Chanel.
Since her modelling heyday, she has expanded to
become a prolific designer and recently launched a blog
chronicling her uniquely French style. Though Ines and
Lagerfeld parted ways in 1989, they reunited in 2011
and she appeared in Chanel’s S/S11 show.
INES DE LA FRESSANGE
She is one of the original supermodels and perhaps the most
recognizable, having become an icon of the 1990s. Linda and
Karl began working together in 1985 and she has continued
to inspire him with her statement-making style and constant
changes to her look. Linda was Chanel’s original runway bride,
taking to the haute couture runway in 2003 in a stunning
bridal gown. Mr. Lagerfeld chose her as the face of Chanel
eyewear in 2012 and recently shot her with his adorable pet
cat, Choupette.
