Watch Keira Knightley as Coco Chanel in Karl Lagerfeld’s New Short Film

by

Karl Lagerfeld’s period film Once Upon a Time, which stars Keira Knightley as Coco Chanel, is finally here–all 15 glorious minutes of it.

The designer-cum-director reportedly gave the actors, including Knightley, Clotilde Hesme, Lindsey Wixson, Stella Tennant, Tallulah Harlech, their lines just moments before shooting–which makes a lot of sense when you watch the film.

Listen to Karl Lagerfeld…the Rap Song by Chanel West Coast

TV personality-cum-rapper Chanel West Coast has learned a valuable lesson from Kreayshawn: Name-drop a famous designer’s name over and over again, and you’re bound to get some press. Better yet: Name your song after them.

At least that’s what Chanel West Coast, whose real name is Chelsea Chanel Dudley (she starred on Rob Dyrdek’s reality TV show Fantasy Factory as his receptionist), seems to be banking on with her new single ‘Karl Lagerfeld.’
