“It is a movie about an ill-advised use of money which begins with violence and ends with feeling” Karl Lagerfeld, May 2011

Karl Lagerfeld himself directed and produced the new short film “The Tale of A Fairy” for the new Chanel Cruise Collection 11/12. It’s a story about the bold and the beautiful, living their everyday life full of greed for money and power, enviousness, scheming and a lot of passion around all.
The actors are all familiar faces, such as 90ies supermodel Kristen McMenamy, topmodel Freja Beha or famous actress Anna Mouglalis. All of them wearing… the Chanel Cruise Collection, of course.

In any case, despite it’s (quite lenghty) 25 minutes, the film is very much enjoyable and definitely is a milestone in the development of fashion film towards a more complex and narrative format.
