Lagerfeld's lady loving

Fans of french fashion house Chanel were warned this morning that they may be shocked by the content of the brand's Cruise collection feature film.  

The Tale of a Fairy is a 30 minute spectacle which features model Freja Beha Erichsen not only topless, but seducing Anna Mouglalis, an ambassador of Chanel. The film will not be shown until the presentation of the Cruise collection on May 10th, but Lagerfeld has given us a sneek peek on Chanel's news channel. "It is a movie about an ill-advised use of money which begins with violence and ends with feeling," the Creative Director told Vogue.com. 

Erichsen plays a beguiling fairy, and stars alongside model Kristen McMenamy, Chanel muse Lady Amanda Harlech and Baptiste Giabiconi, Buying Director for The Shop at Bluebird. The trailer doesn't give too much away about what we can expect from the Cruise collection but places an emphasis on accessories, showing signature strings of pearls and oversized sunglasses. The full film will be released on Chanel.com at 9pm on May 10th.
