Masterclass in perfumery

On the occasion of the launch of its iconic No. 5 campaign, worn by its new muse, Margot Robbie, Chanel is hosting an exclusive masterclass with MK2 dedicated to the fragrance’s 5 decades of advertising creations. Signed by the greatest directors, these short films with great actresses like Marion Cotillard and Audrey Tautou have left their mark. Thus, we remember the revised version of the tale of Luc Besson’s Little Red Riding Hood or the romance of Nicole Kidman directed by Baz Luhrmann. To discuss these various campaigns, film journalist Lily Bloom will be joined by Thomas du Pré des Saint Maur, Chanel’s Chief Creative Officer of Perfume and Beauty, philosopher Marie Robert and journalist Charlotte Lipinska. It is an opportunity to dive back into these works, at the border between advertising and cinema, and question the representation of women over the years and the evolution of society. J.F.
