Back at Chanel’s Spring 2015 Haute Couture show, it was revealed that Kristen Stewart, Vanessa Paradis, and Alice Dellal would be the new faces of a handbag campaign for the storied French brand. Two months later, the campaign has arrived.
Instead of showing the three women together, as was assumed, each gets her own ad with the Chanel bag that best embodies her—Stewart with the 11.12, Paradis with the Girl, and Dellal with the Boy. Savvy Chanel fans will remember that Dellal was the spokesmodel for the Boy bag’s launch in 2013, a campaign that clearly had an impact on her. “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 sound off on their respective choices. Said Stewart of the allure of the 11.12: “For me, the iconic handbag [the 11.12] is just like the house of Chanel, fundamental and modern, two qualities not usually shared.” Paradis commented on her nearly nude campaign, saying, “I like the fact that it blends in with clothes or against the skin with infinite gentleness.”
In keeping with Chanel’s tradition, the black-and-white images of the three muses were shot by Karl Lagerfeld.
