Chanel has just announced the appointment of Vanessa Paradis as the new face of Chanel Lipstick. Connected to the brand since 1992, firstly as the face of Coco fragrance, then as the face of Cambon handbags, Paradis is said to represent the very spirit of Chanel: one that is at once modern yet sensitive to the past. She will be on hand to promote the new, soon to be released collection entitled Rouge COCO de CHANEL.

On counter November 8th.
