Iconic fashion house Chanel has released the teaser trailer for the new short film, titled Reincarnation, directed by creative director Karl Lagerfeld, which is set the debut alongside Chanel's Métiers d'Art collection in Salzburg next week. The film recounts the origins and inspiration behind the iconic Chanel jacket (one of Chanel's formative moments), when Coco Chanel was inspired by the uniform of the elevator operator of the Austrian hotel where she vacationed in 1954.
The film stars Pharrell Williams as the elevator operator, who, in an extended dream sequence, is reincarnated as Franz Joseph I, the Emperor of Austria, while Cara Delevingne plays his wife, Empress Elisabeth "Sisi" of Austria. Cue an imperial waltz, with a Pharrell-soundtracked twist. "CC The World," a song composed by Williams for the film, features Delevingne singing (a passion she has apparently held for a long time).
Check out the teaser above, and hold tight for the full film to drop on December 1.
