This is Fashion x ESMOD Fashion Business Pitch

“Reincarnation” is the new short film created and directed by Karl Lagerfeld to accompany the CHANEL Paris-Salzburg 2014/15 Métiers d'art collection shown on December 2nd, 2014 in Salzburg. This new short film was the perfect opportunity for Karl Lagerfeld to develop an artistic collaboration with Pharrell Williams, a close friend of the House and personal friend of the designer. In fact, the artist composed and wrote the lyrics to "CC The World," the original soundtrack for Reincarnation, and he also plays one of the lead roles and will be, along with Cara Delevingne, the face of the upcoming campaign of the Paris-Salzburg 2014/15 Métiers d'art collection. #CHANEL #CHANELFashion #KarlLagerfeld

As a fashion professional, lover and devotee, you eat, sleep and breathe fashion. The question is: Why is it so difficult to access everything fashion in one place? Whether a hard-to-find documentary, a passage in a specific book, or the latest Chanel runway show, This Is Fashion will present the most comprehensive digital library in existence. As any enthusiast can tell you, the fashion world moves quickly. Professionals and lovers alike need a convenient way to stay up to date. With international content, thorough search algorithms and a memory for your tastes, This Is Fashion is a well of news and inspiration that can fit into your pocket. Moreover, hundreds of years of fashion history are deteriorating away from the public eye. Located in archives and private collections across the globe, there is no digital back-up to save them. The desired public, wherever they are in the world, deserve access to these documents and images. Imagine how hard it is for these fashion enthusiasts to find exactly what they are looking for in the immense pile of unindexed information? This Is Fashion sure can! We will not sit back and watch fashion history fade, it is time to make a change.

In December 1953, Coco Chanel began her incredible return to center stage. The designer reopens her Haute Couture house after fifteen years of absence. The collection is welcomed by the French press with an icy silence. Only the American media supports the looks that define the rebirth of Chanel's style. "The Return" retraces this determining period, that shaped the legend of the designer of rue Cambon forever. "The Return," imagined, written and directed by Karl Lagerfeld, features Geraldine Chaplin in the role of Gabrielle Chanel, Rupert Everett, Anna Mouglalis, Lady Amanda Harlech, Arielle Dombasle, Kati Nescher, Vincent Darré and Sam McKnight. #CHANEL #CHANELFashion #KarlLagerfeld Credits: Sonata for Oboe and Piano, Op. 185_Scherzo Music by Francis Poulenc © (1962) Chester Music Ltd Courtesy of Première Music Group Indésens Digital License: Alexandre Gattet, oboe Emmanuel Strosser, piano

Debuting in a special film co-directed by award-winning photographer and director Floria Sigismondi and Alessandro Michele, Aria. A singular voice, taking its turn in the spotlight; in the Italian language, ‘air’. In his notes on the collection, the Creative Director calls it “a deep and ecstatic diving in everything we yearningly miss today… a jubilee of breath.” In the year of Gucci’s centenary, Alessandro Michele opens the locks of history, only to find a deeply personal vision of the mythology that surrounds the brand. Standing sentinel is the Savoy Club—a tribute to The Savoy Hotel in London where founder Guccio Gucci worked as a liftboy in his youth. Once inside, Aria’s “hacking lab made of incursions and metamorphoses”—from Alessandro Michele’s notes on the show—is unveiled, featuring elements from House heritage and designs from Demna Gvasalia, Creative Director of Balenciaga, ultimately expressions of reverence and homage. #GucciAria #AlessandroMichele Music: The soundtrack, by Alessandro Michele and mixed by Lawrence Rothman, comprises a selection of songs featuring the word Gucci, speaking to the staying power of the Maison and how profusely it contributed to the vocabulary of pop culture.
