More reasons to be excited to see the Coco Chanel biopic Coco Avant Chanel, (starring Audrey Tautou, which we happened to see and loved): the clothes. Costume designer Catherine Leterrier worked with the house of Chanel on the costumes, but they didn't micro-design for her. Leterrier said she was "completely free" to design what she wanted. But! "For the show of the end we used authentic outfits from the Chanel Conservatory and Audrey Tautou wore a Chanel suit inspired by 'Mademoiselle' in the Sixties." And they are gorgeous. British Vogue has a look at some of Audrey's other costumes. [British Vogue]
