MARCH IN FASHION

It's rare for the audience to erupt into applause after the collection was shown, but it happened at Chanel's Fall 2024 show in Paris this morning after Penélope Cruz, Brad Pitt, two Oscar-winning actors joined forces on screen for a short film.

In this film, the iconic Chanel bag takes center stage, albeit silently. This morning, to the surprise of many, the film had its world premiere before the collection was unveiled. Directed by Inez & Vinoodh, the film pays homage to the emotionally charged 1966 New Wave classic "A Man and a Woman."

In the original film, Anouk Aimée and Jean-Louis Trintignant portray two widowed parents who cross paths at their children's boarding school, igniting a series of events fueled by the intensity of their mutual attraction.
