Add Cara Delevingne and Pharrell Williams with a dash of Karl Lagerfeld, and what do you have? Chanel's du jour short film.
Lagerfeld teamed up with the in-demand model and the cutting-edge musician to createReincarnation, a film capturing a quick glimpse of Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel's life. And this time, it's Coco's stay at an Austrian resort in 1954, according to WWD, that makes the cut for the latest Chanel short flick.
This isn't just any luxe vacation that's got Coco, played by Delevingne, enthused in the film—it's the hotel elevator boy's (Pharrell) tailored jacket. The urbane design, with sleek trim and sharp structure, inspired the signature Chanel jacket. Yep, that's a huge moment in Chanel's history, people!

In Lagerfeld's dreamy depiction of the scene, Delevingne and Williams (as Chanel and the elevator operator) are then reincarnated as the 19th century Empress Elisabeth andEmperor Franz Joseph I of Austria, notes WWD. And en pointe with all things Chanel, the duo are dressed impeccably, with the 21-year-old model dressed in an enchanting, off-the-shoulder ball gown and William's in a dashing imperial suit.
"There's a touch of pop art in it," Lagerfeld told WWD of the film. "It's not meant to be a historical reconstruction or something heavy like that. This is light and funny."

But that's not the end of it—Williams is serving up an original beat titled "CC the World" just for the flick, and Delevingne is lending her voice to the song, too!
The seven-minute film will premiere on Dec. 1 at the Métiers d'art collection in Salzburg, Austria, a day ahead of Lagerfeld's Paris-Salzburg Chanel fashion show.
