Coco Cocoon - Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld and Vanessa Paradis all in one bag ....

The dainty actress and singer Vanessa Paradis was invited to Paris at short notice for the Coco Cocoon bag series, which Karl Lagerfeld added several new pieces to this Spring.

The shoot took place at a studio, in the presence of highly creative people, including Peter Philips, Global Creative Director of CHANEL Make-up and Virginie Viard, who, for a good twenty years, has been Karl’s right hand and CHANEL Studio Director.

“I have often photographed her for magazines or advertising campaigns and each time it’s a pleasure,” says Karl. "She really gives the impression that she is instantly on your level when you are working with her.

People think she’s wonderful. She plays the game spontaneously, she is super natural. And above all, she creates harmony all around her.

We have formed a real bond in our working relationship. She has been to my studio a number of times, and it’s as if she were coming to the house for dinner."

GoSee presents several motifs of the Paradis-Lagerfeld collaboration, as well as several all time favourites from Vanessa’s commercial work, and lest we forget, several making-of images from the shoot.

Vanessa's ‘Divinidylle’ album, released in September 2007, has been spun countless times in the editorial office, as well as one floor below, in the Marsil bar.

And FYI, the album cover was realised using a portrait of the singer by Johnny Depp.

Following a couple of years of silver screen abstinence, she can currently be admired in French comedy L'arnacoeur (int.: Heartbreaker), starring in the role of a wedding-obsessed heiress.
