Coco Avant Chanel | Movie Review

I was sent a VIP invite from the lovely ladies over at Betty Confidential to a private pre-screening of Coco Before Chanel. The film was simply mesmerizing, beautiful and most of all captivating. I strongly encourage you to go out and watch it in theaters with your girlfriends. Audrey Tautou plays Chanel and she did an impeccable job at recreating the women who changed fashion forever. All in all a very inspiring movie which will become a fashion classic . For more information please click here
