Catherine Deneuve for Chanel No.5 Perfume, 1975

This is probably my favorite ad that Catherine Deneuve did for Chanel in the 1970s. Of course she is enchantingly beautiful in all of them, but this one has a bit of the boyish insouciance that Coco Chanel expressed in the 1920s and 30s. With a dark blue velvet blazer, satin bow tie and white camellia boutonniere, Catherine embodies the spirit of a young Gabrielle.
