Audrey Tautou’s favourite jacket

28/07/2009

Actress Audrey Tautou, who plays the title role in the new film about the life of fashion designer Coco Chanel, entitled Coco Before Chanel, has told a fashion magazine that she was a big fan of Chanel clothes even before shooting the movie.

She said that she owned some Chanel dresses and shoes, as well as a favourite item, a leather jacket that she wears “all the time”.

Ms Tautou admitted that she would have loved to keep some of the clothes she wore in the film, but accepted that it was right for them to go to the Chanel Museum, which, after visiting Tokyo, New York and London since last year, will move to a permanent home in Paris in 2010.
