The short film celebrates the designer’s legendary life and career, in which her “little black dress” and tweed jacket liberated women’s fashion. The film explores the origin of the tweed jacket and Chanel No.5 perfume.

The fragrance is yet another example of Chanel’s creative director Karl Lagerfeld’s tribute to the founder of the maison.

He has also created a bag dedicated to her for the spring-summer 2017 collection also called Gabrielle.
