Well known for her modelling and acting, as well as being the daughter of beloved Johnny Depp and French singer Vanessa Paradis, Lily-Rose Depp will be continuing with her modelling career as the new face of Chanel for 2016.
They say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, and in this case it has never been truer. Following in the footsteps of her mother Vanessa Paradis, who has been a Chanel brand ambassador for more than 25 years, Lily-Rose Depp was announced as the face for Chanel fragrance 2016 in May. It didn’t take long for her to share her excitement on Instagram, with the post nearly removing the need for an actual campaign shoot.
Having been immersed in the fashion world from a young age, she is quickly becoming an influential figure in the fashion world. It was only April last year that Lily-Rose made her front row debut at the Chanel Paris-Salzburg show. This was then followed up with a Chanel eyewear campaign later that year.
With her youthful and chic Parisian looks, it’s no wonder why she was chosen. Just this week she has shared via Instagram a sneak peak at the Chanel No. 5 L’eau campaign.
“She embodies her generation and its values of freedom and boldness to perfection, bringing to the iconic fragrance of the house her youthful freshness and beauty.” – Statement from Chanel.
She will be joining the likes of Keira Knightley, Nicole Kidman, Audrey Tautou, Blake Lively and of course her mother Vanessa by modelling for the legendary Parisian label. Chanel has acquired the help of French fashion photographer Karim Sadli to successfully bring us this amazing campaign. Sadli’s clients include Balmain, Chanel, Givenchy and Azzedine Alaïa.
Talking to Entertainment Tonight earlier this year, her father Johnny Depp shared that he “didn’t expect that all this soon,” and also said “I’m incredibly proud, she’s handling it beautifully, she understands well enough that it’s only whatever it is.”
If the fragrance is as amazing as this campaign, we can’t wait to get a whiff!
