AceShowbiz - Cara Delevingne shows off her vocal chops in a duet with Pharrell Williams. The British runway beauty teams up with the "Happy" hitmaker in Chanel's new short film "Reincarnation" directed by the fashion house's creative director Karl Lagerfeld.
It tells the story of Coco Chanel and the inspiration behind her iconic jacket. Pharrell plays her muse, Cara portrays his leading lady, and Geraldine Chaplin who appeared in Lagerfeld's previous short film "The Return" reprises her role as the late female designer.
"While vacationing at an Austrian resort in 1954, the designer becomes enamored by the jacket worn by the hotel's elevator operator, portrayed by Williams with his captivating, Sphinx-like gaze. That style, with contrasting trim and pockets, would go on to become the Chanel jacket, a fashion icon that has endured and whose identifiable features Chanel protects vigorously."
The video is to accompany the Chanel Paris-Salzburg 2014/15 Metiers d'art collection show on December 2 this year in Salzburg, Austria. It features a song called "CC the World" written by Pharrell. He and Cara perform it while spinning around the floor and gazing longingly into each other's eyes.
