Vanessa Paradis Named the New Face of CHANEL Lipstick: In 1992, Vanessa Paradis whistled and displayed her skills as an acrobat, lending her youthful grace and already exceptional personality to the Coco fragrance. In 2003, in front of Karl Lagerfeld’s camera, Vanessa became the muse of the Cambom handbags. In 2010, Vanessa’s modern elegance, boldness of character and power of emotion will unite with a range of lipsticks with an evocative name: Rouge COCO de CHANEL. The special relationship thus continues, with consistency and modernity.
