"Reincarnation" by Karl Lagerfeld

"Reincarnation" is a short seven minute movie created by Karl Lagerfeld with the musical collaboration of Pharrell Williams and Cara Delevigne. The song featured in this movie "CC The World" is written by Pharrell Williams himself and performed by him and Delevigne.

So we got those facts straight, now let me tell you my opinion on this video. I think it's incredibly beautiful! The setting, the music, the wardrobe, it's all so magical. From the playful and rebellious Cara Delevigne to the serious and calm Pharrell Williams, the collaboration is perfect. As the video starts we see two paintings hung on a wall of both Cara and Pharrell dressed in the finest fashion. Then we see them again in petty jobs, with Pharrell being the elevator boy and Cara a waitress. Through their actions and expressions you can sense their unhappiness and their longing for more. At midnight, however, we see them come out of the paintings and dance to the song previously mentioned which is also performed by them. By the end of the movie, we see Coco Chanel's (played by Geraldine Chaplin) interest in Pharrell's elevator boy jacket, the jacket that inspired her to do the iconic Chanel jacket.

The transition of scenes demonstrates the longing for a dream which I think many of us can relate to, we all have a dream that we would like to see unravel before our eyes. Also the way it was portrayed gives the somewhat magical atmosphere of the early 1900s.

I really loved the video; I think a wide audience would like it, not necessarily those interested in fashion. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
