I thought she had a pleasingly Kellyesque chilly ice princess thing going on...but I did love, love Ines de la Fressange! I also thought Carole Bouquet was a really exquisite and appropriate choice for a Chanel face. Well, de gustibus non est disputandum...

Kidman doesn't. But, she would be likely to expand the audience: so again, exactly what Chanel had in mind no doubt.

Maybe it's one of those we agree to disagree issues. The bottom line, however, is that Helleu, and by extension Chanel, is known to be a perfectionist to the n-th degree. If he thought that Kidman couldn't compliment the juice he wouldn't have even offered her a contract.

The 2005-2006 print ads were well thought-out and intelligently executed. Kidman even manage to draw a younger audience to the stores: thus it wasn't a surprise to me that Eau Premiere was introduced. So what can I say? Too bad Helleu was mostly ill during that time or he could have done more with the campaigns. By the way I actually think Kidman was a great choice for Chanel.

I remember when the film came out people in the fashion industry l-o-v-e it and hailed it as a masterpiece. Back then I kept my mouth shut because it wasn't my place to speak my mind. After all, a lot of people's careers depended on the success of that campaign. By the way, while it's true that Kidman neither wrote nor directed the film she did have a great deal of influence on the whole project. During the contract negotiation stage she insisted on hiring Baz, for instance. She even said "No Baz, no me". And Chanel wouldn't make the mistake of airing anything without Baz and Kidman's approval--knowing Helleu he wouldn't have done it any other way. Thanks for making my day by speaking your mind.

Inès de la Fressange also has a stake a Jean Paul Gaultier and in fact did a show for the couturier's SS 2009 Haute Couture collection. She is still quite active in the fashion industry: just more niche and more behind the scene, which might as well because she has to take of her two daughters.
