The French actress - who plays the legendary French designer in new film
'Coco Avant Chanel' - is fascinated by Coco's life and loved being able
to portray her on the big screen.
She said: "I've always loved Chanel's style but I
was more interested in
her character than the fashion. Her life is so rich, and her personality
so unusual, that the story of her life is far greater than simply being
a story of fashion. And I wanted to discover what lay behind the facade."

The French actress - who plays the legendary designer in new film 'Coco
Avant Chanel' - says the designer was a huge inspiration because she broke
down barriers that had held back women before her.
Audrey said: "She was the woman of the moment.
She was very intelligent, strong and courageous. She wanted to be free and
independent. At the time, nobody knew that could exist. She refused to let
herself be closed off by social conventions and she was almost a rebel - she
was almost a feminist ahead of time. In terms of fashion, she freed women."
