I'm well into the novel Chéri, the movie version of which will premiere in just two days at Berlinale. It's a great read. There's exquisite descriptions of complicated emotions and intriguing relationships. There's also an unembarrassed sensuality to the material.

Jerry Hall, ex-wife of Mick Jagger, has been chosen as the new face of Chanel. Karl Lagerfeld hand-picked the Texan beauty to star in Chanel's new handbag campaign.
The veteran supermodel will be portraying images inspired by Colette's Chéri, based on the novel of a young man involved in a relationship with a woman twice his age.
The man will be portrayed by model Baptiste Giabiconi. According to Wwd, Giabiconi will appear "seeking her affections on a bed strewn with a quilt - and a quilted bag."
