It was published in the edition of December/January Harper's Bazaar magazine new photos (here) and information on Once and Forever, the short film that Kristen will do for Chanel designer, directed by Karl Lagerfeld. Check out:
They call me early - 4 am, actually. Through sensory blur came a French accent tinkling of a producer of photography working with Karl Lagerfeld and Chanel. "Karl is making a movie," she said. "And he would love for you to participate. Playing a journalist. You need to be a flight to Paris tonight and go straight to the set tomorrow morning. What do you think?"
Um, let me think, yes. As if it was not. As if anyone was not. Having the privilege of entering relatively Karl in orbit, I honestly would fly to Paris to clean your refrigerator and recycle their cans of Diet Coke.
But, as anyone who is a fan of Chanel and the man behind the brand know, the wildly prolific Lagerfeld - between producing eight annual collections for Chanel (usually displayed in exotic locations), five for Fendi, and his own collection; photograph of Chanel and Fendi campaigns, magazine covers and fashion sessions; drawing, painting; and generally be the smartest man in a room - he also likes to make movies.
Well, short. But with great short stories - the story of Chanel. "That's the idea," Lagerfeld explained about his latest film, named Once and Forever. "The final image of Chanel is not her youth, her lovers, her beauty -. Is the old lady" While the life and Chanel lovers are more documented (his most famous, Boy Capel, died tragically in a car accident in 1919), it is of course absolutely right. The popular Coco vision is not a great beauty, its traces of Deauville; is the oldest woman in pearls and hat. "It's a visual impact that you can not miss," he continues. "People who know the history of fashion know, but the public does not see the woman, who she really was. This is the story of the film. "
But this history is marked more objectively. It is a film about a film: Kristen Stewart plays an actress preparing for the role of a young Coco in a biopic. (Geraldine Chaplin plays the older Chanel in alternative scenes.) But things go wrong - the film lost its director, some French again and was hired without preparation, and Stewart, well, she's in a bad mood. "It is not the best person," Lagerfeld says about the role of Stewart. "She's a little picky. [The character of Stewart ridicules his costars and despises the media.] It is a modern woman, the way some movie stars behave on the red carpet, paparazzi, all that. I've done image after Chanel's past image, it would be boring. "Contracts his shoulders. "I wanted to, for example, shoot a test of costumes, the way it is done today."
Ambassador for Chanel since 2013, Stewart has been photographed by Lagerfeld several times, but this was his first film. "His interest in the cinema of course," she says. "Working with him like that was inspiring - see it in another light shade." It was also necessary improvisation. "I have not had much chance to approach the project until it was close, once we receive no scripts," Stewart recalls. "Seeing from the outside, it seemed that Karl was making while we were going." She laughs. "And maybe it was."
My role is basically to follow Stewart (a lovely, cool and sensitive girl who known him since Twilight was just a sunrise), in corridors, the set and endure the screams and the door being hit in my face. It was amazing. Because I? I ask Karl. "Because you are full of life!" He replies. "And maybe you've been in that situation." (Like when I was 22 and followed Sylvester Stallone on the red carpet at the Hard Rock Cafe -. Those exciting days) "Also," he adds, "I make films only with people I like."
On the set, however, Stewart's character might not like me less. I tell her to evoke each piece that she ever felt anger against the media, and she almost throws me out of the studio. It's so fun to be a person socially excluded!
As in any film - and especially in a Lagerfeld production - we spent a lot of time waiting. But that team to spend time waiting. The constant Karl of employees: Eric Pfrunder, Amanda Harlech, hairdresser Sam McKnight, and the makeup artist Tom Pecheux. The beautiful Karl accomplices: Sébastien Jondeau, Baptiste Giabiconi, and Jake Davies. Also, the model Jamie Bochert, I did not know what was in the movie until he finds it in the dressing room next door. (Ah, spontaneity.)
This is a gang at the top of the game, and also a drinking wine at lunch. I never want to leave.
But like any good story, it also has to end. Lagerfeld has a good shot this film - his energy is contagious. "I wanted it to be modern," he says. "And add humor to it. If not, it would be totally humorless. "
He takes off his glasses and stares at me. "What the French love but I do not."
