It’s finally here! Karl Lagerfeld’s newest short film “Reincarnation” starring Cara Delevingne and Pharrell Williams has been released in its entirety and it’s everything we hoped it would be.
The supermodel and superstar might seem like an odd couple for this project, but they work amazingly together. They both play workers — a waitress and elevator operator — who find themselves in a dream sequence that is nothing short of perfect. The duo sing and dance to an original song written by Pharrell entitled “CC The World.” We all know Mr. Williams can carry a tune, but we were pleasantly surprised to learn that Cara has some serious pipes as well.
The film also touches upon the story behind the inspiration of Chanel’s iconic jacket, when Coco admired the coat of a hotel elevator operator while vacationing in Austria in 1954.
“There’s a touch of Pop Art in it,” Lagerfeld told WWD in regards to the film. “It’s not meant to be a historical reconstruction or something heavy like that. This is light and funny.”
Indeed, it is. If you don’t do anything else today, please take the next seven minutes to watch this enchanting short film — you’ll thank us later!
