Chanel Winter Constellation unfolds as a refined and sensorial holiday campaign, guided by five emblematic CHANEL symbols that lead the viewer toward fragrances, makeup and skincare conceived as enchanted gifts. Power, luck, harmony, prospérité and radiance become visual and emotional signposts, shaping a cosmic yet intimate universe where the act of giving is elevated through meaning, symbolism and beauty.

Directed by Gordon von Steiner, the film is driven by a strong creative vision and a high level of craftsmanship, built on a precise dialogue between disciplines. Live action, illustration, motion, compositing and finishing come together through a rigorous, layered process in which every shot is carefully constructed. Hand-painted illustrations by Sarah Martinon sit at the heart of the project, bringing a poetic and sensitive dimension that gives the film its rhythm, breath and emotional depth.

At its core, Chanel Winter Constellation is a story of gestures and savoir-faire. The illustrated sets shape the visual world and interact seamlessly with live action and post-production, creating a meeting point where technique serves sensitivity. The result is a committed collective effort, guided by an unwavering attention to detail, and a visual experience that feels both precise and luminous, in true alignment with CHANEL’s timeless elegance.
