See How Chanel Got It's Start in 'Coco Avant Chanel'

If there's one thing we love more than fashion, it's movies about fashion. We hear the names of these designer labels practically every day, but it's rare we get a look at the people behind them. That's why we can't wait to see Coco Avant Chanel (Coco Before Chanel) on the big screen!

Coco Avant Chanel charts Coco Chanel's rise from abandoned chid to the high fashion of Paris. We love stories like this. When you think of the Chanel brand, the last thing you think is living on the streets. But everyone comes from somewhere, and this is Coco's story.

We're even more excited for the movie because Amelie's Audrey Tatou stars as Coco Chanel. The movie shows a young Coco working as a tailer and singing caberet at night. We definitely think Audrey is perfect for this role!

The movie isn't all about high-fashion, though, simply because Coco wasn't wearing high-fashion before she became who she was. But we're really interested to see how the directer portrays Coco's clothing and how they eventually evolved into the brand that is Chanel. Chanel's current Creative Director, Karl Lagerfeld, looked at all the sketched for the movie and approved them.

We can't wait to see how Chanel got her start when Coco Avev Chanel comes out in theaters on September 25. If you can't wait that long for a fashionable movie, check out Valentino: The Last Emporer, which tells the story of Valentino Garavani, one of our all time faves.
