A night train to Orient with Coco Chanel
 Chanel No. 5 with Audrey Tautou directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet When I watched the latest Chanel Nº5 commercial with Audrey Tautou on TV, it reminded me not long ago I had this dream traveling overnight on the Orient Express to Istanbul back in the mid-20′s. This train is as mythical as Coco Chanel is for me, a train that fascinated me during my childhood reading all kind of books about the Orient Express. If I could travel back in time, I’d choose to go in Paris of the 1920′s, meet Coco for an afternoon tea conversation and go on a trip to Istanbul with her. The commercial, directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, portrays Coco traveling to Istanbul with a mysterious traveler. I realize today how Audrey Tautou – who also played Coco in the movie by the same director – was the perfect face for the role. Her beauty and elegance, makes the impersonation easy. I am just sad that Karl decided to no longer work with Audrey. |
