Kristen Stewart will star in the film for Chanel
Actress Kristen Stewart will star in a film directed by designer Karl Lagerfeld, filmed at director Luc Besson's Paris studio.
The story, conceived by Lagerfeld, offers a fictional, behind-the-scenes look at a biopic in the making about founder Gabrielle Chanel.
Stewart portrays an actress impersonating the designer as a young woman. Geraldine Chaplin, who has played Chanel in previous Lagerfeld films, is in the movie as well.
Lagerfeld said Stewart "played it really, really mean."
"You only see her in tests and she's complaining about everything. She's mean with the director; mean with the producer," he told fashion industry trade magazine WWD.
