Alliance Française de Cebu, in cooperation with Zee Lifestyle Magazine, the French Embassy Manila, Ayala Center Cebu Cinema, M Lhuillier Jewellers and Chandon, brings the biopic, Coco Avant Chanel (Coco before Chanel) to Cebu. As the title suggests, the film charts the rise of the woman who was to become arguably the single most influential person in fashion in the 20^th century. Hailed by the New York Times as “an unusually vivid and convincing account of the historical past,” and by the Washington Post as a “refreshing alternative to the usual potted biopic,” Coco Avant Chanel is a must-see whether you are a devoted follower of fashion or simply a woman forever grateful to the designer who almost single-handedly abolished the corset and allowed women to breathe again.

Cebu’s first and only screening of Coco Avant Chanel is on Thursday, November 5 at Ayala Onstage Cinema. The by-invitation event is exclusive to members of Alliance Française as well as to subscribers of Zee Lifestyle Magazine.
