Inside Chanel. A website that celebrates all things Chanel is releasing the final films of a nine-part series. The first four videos detail the iconic No. 5 perfume, Marilyn Monroe’s relationship to the perfume, Chanel’s innovative approach to diamond jewelry and the creation of the timeless Chanel jacket. These segments are put together like vintage video scrapbooks with pops of color and beautiful animation. The next three videos tell the story of how Coco went from orphan to the most influential woman in twentieth century fashion. The final two films show Karl Lagerfeld discussing his views of Chanel, the woman, and Chanel, the legendary fashion house. A compelling promotional series that expertly poses as a mini-documentary.

The game’s plan is in line with Chipotle’s “Food with Integrity” motto. The video may seem more like an Oscar-worthy short than a promotion for an electronic game, but we appreciate Chipotle’s smart and high-quality launch effort.
