(Cover) - EN Star Style - Keira Knightley found the first Chanel catwalk show she attended incredibly moving.

The actress is the face of Chanel perfume Coco Mademoiselle, and loves everything about the brand. The first time she saw one of creative director Karl Lagerfelds runway presentations she was blown away, and its something which has stayed with her ever since.

I went to the Chanel show and I really enjoyed the theatre of it this eight mile long catwalk, this huge orchestra and it was amazing. It was actually quite moving and you think, Wow, this is strange. How? Why? But I think when you see a show like that you see the thought process behind it. And I Ive only been to two shows but I really enjoy that, she explained to the March edition of British magazine Elle.

Keira agreed to be the face of the fragrance because she was drawn to the story of pioneering designer Coco Chanel, who passed away in 1971. She likes the way the whole fashion house still harbours aspects of Coco, and finds herself mesmerised whenever she visits.

Theres something about the story of that woman, the survivor nature of her. And that personality has continued within the whole house, she explained.

Its a very small group of people who do this enormous, huge, worldwide thing I just thought, Ooh, Id quite like to look into your world. You walk into the ateliers and its nearly like stepping back in time, even though its so modern and so current. (C) Cover Media
