Chanel Steps into the Spotlight with Exclusive Screening of 'Coutures'
The iconic Rue Cambon headquarters of Chanel recently played host to a private screening of Alice Winocour's drama "Coutures", starring Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie in a poignant role as an American filmmaker navigating multiple personal struggles while trying to direct a film abroad. The film, set against the tumultuous backdrop of Paris Fashion Week, brought together three women whose lives intersect in unexpected ways.
The production, which boasts an all-star cast including Anyier Anei and Ella Rumpf, marks a significant milestone for Chanel's Cinema Rendez-Vous series, with global director Elsa Heizmann hailing the film as "one we truly care about and have supported from the beginning". With its unique blend of haute couture and cinema, "Coutures" represents a rare collaboration between the fashion house and filmmakers.
According to Clément Geray, head of cinema-relations projects at Chanel, the film's production was carefully tailored to showcase the brand's creative DNA. Winocour, known for her near-documentary approach, was given unparalleled access to the Chanel workshops and Haute Couture salons, allowing her to capture the essence of the fashion house in a way that is both authentic and captivating.
For one of the film's final scenes, Chanel partnered with Pascaline Chavanne, a multi-César-winning costume designer, to design silhouettes inspired by the brand's latest collection. This synergy between haute couture and cinema has resulted in a truly unique cinematic experience that will be showcased exclusively at select theaters.
"Coutures" made its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival and is set to hit French theaters in February 2026. The screening marked the penultimate event of Chanel's Cinema Rendez-Vous series, with next week's presentation of Neon's Golden Globe-nominated animated feature "Arco" eagerly anticipated by film enthusiasts worldwide.
As a rare glimpse into the creative process of one of the world's most renowned fashion houses, "Coutures" offers an intimate look at the intersection of art and commerce. By partnering with talented filmmakers like Alice Winocour, Chanel has once again demonstrated its commitment to innovative storytelling and artistic collaboration, solidifying its position as a leader in both fashion and cinema.

she's got such depth and range. and the way they wove in all that chanel history was so cool, i loved seeing all those iconic looks come to life on screen 
the costumes were insane too, i need to know who designed those outfits!!! 
anyway, it just goes to show how fashion can be art, not just some superficial thing 
This film sounds super interesting I've always loved watching movies that are set behind the scenes of famous brands or companies it must be so cool to see the design process and how all these talented people come together to create something beautiful on screen. The fact that Chanel got involved in this project is a win for me, their fashion is always so stunning and I love seeing it brought to life in different ways 
. And that's what Chanel is doing here with "Coutures". They're not just screening a movie, they're showing us their creative process, their DNA 
. It's like they're saying, "Hey, we care about art and storytelling, and we want to share that with you".
. For Chanel, it seems like they've found a way to merge their fashion expertise with artistic collaboration, creating something truly unique and special 
.
. It's like Chanel is saying, "Hey, we're not just about clothes, we're also about art and storytelling" 
. And I'm here for it!
I mean who knew the life of an actress was like navigating through a maze of personal struggles? Angelina Jolie is such a talented actress, she always brings emotion to her roles. And Chanel partnering with filmmakers like Alice Winocour is genius 
The all-star cast and crew bring an interesting dynamic to the table, and I'm intrigued by the way Alice Winocour's documentary-style approach captures the essence of haute couture. It's a testament to Chanel's commitment to artistic collaboration and innovative storytelling. By partnering with talented filmmakers, they're able to create unique cinematic experiences that blend fashion and art in a meaningful way 
! The film is so cinematic, it feels like a whole different world. Angelina Jolie shines as the lead actress and the way the movie weaves together the lives of these three women is really captivating 
. But what I loved most about this screening was how seamlessly Chanel incorporated its brand into the film - it's like they're not just a fashion house, but an integral part of the story itself 
. And can we talk about how cool it is to see haute couture come alive on screen? 
I'm definitely checking this out when it hits theaters next year! 
I need to see this movie ASAP, stat
