News: CHANEL PREMIERS ITS “THE ONE THAT I WANT” FILM

Chanel has premiered its “The One That I Want” film – a new campaign celebrating the iconic fragrance Chanel N°5. The film is produced, conceived, and directed by auteur filmmaker Baz Luhrmann (Moulin Rouge!, The Great Gatsby), with production design by Oscar-winner Catherine Martin and stars Supermodel, Gisele Bündchen. When Luhrmann directed the N°5 film starring Actress Nicole Kidman in 2004, he joined a prestigious line of directors who have collaborated with Chanel – from Ridley Scott and Luc Besson to Kathryn Bigelow and Martin Scorsese.









The film tells the story of a woman who struggles to find space for everything, ranging from herself and family to career, and love. “The Chanel woman can be with herself on a beach, can be with her child, can have an aspirational and fulfilling work life, and at the same time she can have a true relationship; she can have romance…And in the end, the Chanel woman chooses love.” says Luhrmann.

Model, actress, mother, philanthropist, and businesswoman, Gisele Bündchen is one of the most dynamic women of the decade. Luhrmann’s strong connection to the world of music, so evident in his feature films, is reflected in his choice of Lo-Fang’s cover of “You’re the One That I Want.” With no words or dialogue in the film, the music is not an accompaniment; it is the film’s backbone.

News: Mercedes-Benz Sells Over 100,000 S-Classes In A Single Year

Mercedes-Benz’s latest S-Class, the W222, has been with us for just over a year and already it's managed to rack up more than 100,000 sales worldwide. This is the best rate of sales for any S-Class generation in its first full year on the market, and with new S-Class variants coming like the S-Class Coupe, a future convertible and long-wheelbase ‘Maybach’ and ‘Pullman’ models the records are likely to keep tumbling.

Yes, the rate of sales isn’t slowing yet. Since the start of the year, Mercedes has sold 75,391 S-Classes, twice as many as in the same period a year ago (up 105.8 percent to be exact). If the W222 is to become the best-selling S-Class of all time, it will have to amass more than 500,000 sales, which the previous generation managed to rack up during its time on the market.

China is the single biggest market, with almost one out of every two S-Classes ending up there. And China doesn’t only have the most S-Class buyers, it also has the youngest: most of them are in their early 40s, which on average is 15 years younger than in the U.S. Around 35 percent of S-Classes sold in China are ordered as chauffeur vehicles. The U.S. is the next biggest market for S-Classes, accounting for roughly a quarter of all production.
