Chanel: Boy Meets Girl

It was revealed at Chanel’s Spring 2015 Haute Couture show that Kristen Stewart, Vanessa Paradis, and Alice Dellal would be the new faces of a handbag campaign. The campaign has arrived, and its sophistication is on point with the timeless brand.

Instead of showing the three women together, each was given her very own ad with the Chanel bag that best embodies her. Kristen Stewart with the 11.12 style, Vanessa Paradis with the Girl, and Dellal with the Boy. Chanel diehards will remember Dellal was the spokesmodel for the Boy bag’s 2013 debut, a campaign that clearly had an impact on her as she returns for round two.

“Since discovering the Boy, I have found it a permanent fixture in my wardrobe. It’s a ‘fuss-free’ bag; it is very modern! The Boy bag was my first job with Chanel, it was the beginning of a unique journey. I also love the fact that it has such a romantic story behind it,” said Dellal.

Stewart and Paradis also reflect on their respective handbags. Stewart zeroes in on the bags allure saying, “For me, the iconic handbag is just like the house of Chanel, fundamental and modern, two qualities not usually shared.” Paradis commented on campaign that nearly bares all, saying, “I like the fact that it blends in with clothes or against the skin with infinite gentleness.”

Keeping Chanel’s tradition, the three black and white images were shot by Karl Lagerfeld. That's one thing I love about Chanel – tradition. The black and white, the evolution of glamour from old to new, and the exclusivity of having the brand's head designer and creative director. With so many brands going in different directions with advertising, it's refreshing to see one of fashion's (if not the most) overarching brands staying true to itself, its creators, and its message.

I'll always be head over heels for Chanel (no pun intended). xx, ZM PHOTOS COURTESY OF CHANEL
