I am getting quite confused by the number of documentaries about Coco Chanel's life. Coco avant Chanel starring Audrey Tautou is currently being filmed but before that is even complete, plans for another film based on the life of Gabriella 'Coco' Chanel have been revealed.

The Secret Story of Chanel and Stravinsky (Chanel et Stravinsky, l'Histoire Secrete) will star Chanel muse Anna Mouglalis (pictured) as Coco. The film is set between 1913 to 1925 and portrays her relationship with Igor Stravinsky. Coco's love affair with the Russian composer has previously been documented in a book titled 'Coco and Ivor' by Chris Greenhalgh.

According to sources it will be directed by Jan Kounen and will star Mads Mikkelsen as Stravinsky.

While Claudia Schiffer and Diane Kruger are fashion show regulars, the Chanel Haute Couture presentation today in Paris was a first for Blake Lively. While she's abroad Gatecrasher reports stateside on the real-life drama brewing between Blake and her co-stars. Apparently she was spotted kissing Penn Badgley while out shopping in NYC on Saturday yet she and Leighton are avoiding each other like the plague (spoiler alert: the newspaper also outs the identity of GG). While in Paris Blake only wanted to talk about how grateful she is for the new life GG has given her. She said,

“I had a normal, all-American high school experience — nothing like the kids on Gossip Girl. The amount of money the characters have is incredible. The kids on the show drink cocktails at the Palace Hotel; I was eating hamburgers at fundraisers at Fuddruckers. [But it’s] opened so many doors for me, like coming to Paris to see a Chanel show. It doesn’t even seem like a job. We’re getting paid to live in New York and wear amazing clothes.”

At least Blake sounds thankful for all the amazing opportunities and clothes coming her way. To see more from the Chanel show, including Anna Wintour, Sofia Coppola and Natalia Vodianova, just
