On January 19, 2022, the death of Gaspard Ulliel aroused great emotion. Chanel, house of which he was one of the muses, had reacted and expressed his sadness. The brand took advantage of its Haute Couture show to pay a subtle tribute to the actor…
“Gaspard had been a CHANEL ambassador for 12 years, but above all, he was a close friend of the House. He will be missed terribly. All our thoughts go out to his family and friends“, had written Chanel on Instagram on January 19, in the caption of a portrait of Gaspard Ulliel in black and white. Thus, the prestigious Parisian brand had honored the memory of the actor who died prematurely at the age of 37.
Chanel expressed a new thought for the deceased this Tuesday, January 25, the date of the Haute Couture spring-summer 2022 show of the brand, organized at the Grand Palais in Paris. A model dressed in a wedding dress made the last pass before the end of the show. She held in her hands a bouquet of camellias – Gabrielle Chanel’s favorite flower – tinted midnight blue. This is a nod to Bleu de Chanel perfume, of which Gaspard Ulliel was the face.
