new face of Chanel: clean, refined elegance of a film star

  However, Chanel has become and is now primarily a society based on the international luxury brand Chanel, and has been carefully monitored in the Wertheimer family since Chanel Perfume created in 1924 to commercialize perfume Chanel No. 5. Then she gave control of the development of the brand Pierre Wertheimer was for perfumes, where the money was also haute couture collections have become the engine of his public image.

Oscar winner Tilda Swinton is now the new face of Chanel advertising campaign pre-fall collection for her brand "Métiers d'Art Paris-Edinburgh" by Karl Lagerfeld, head designer of the fashion house, which was the first time in a Scottish castle in December last year and commercials that will be hitting the fashion magazines for good in June of this year

A premium collection favoring rich tweeds and tartans of Scotland, Tilda lives in Scotland with her partner and two children and has Scottish parents, even though she was born in England.

While the show was given in a Scottish castle, the photo was from the collection of Karl Lagerfeld at the castle near Chantilly couen made in France.
