STEALING CHANEL

Length: 1’ 41”

Genre: Comedy/Romance

Completion 2015

Stealing Chanel is a story about the coming of age of a young designer set in the New York fashion world.
Giorgio, raised by his gambling mother in the poor and tough neighborhoods of Queens grows up believing that wearing the right “look” is the means to rise above one’s condition. Shoplifting is the only way Giorgio knows about getting close to the magic of fashion.
Giorgio goes to jail, is harassed by an insane cellmate and in order to get out he agrees to a rehabilitation program with Chanel Borden, a young badly dressed New York heiress, arrogant about her wealth and breeding, obsessed about getting her PHD with her groundbreaking treatment of compulsions.
Her program involves brutal and humiliating steps for Giorgio. The therapy takes them inside several New York fashion stores where she discovers that Giorgio has exceptional knowledge of fashion. Soon she is attracted to Giorgio’s magnetic sexiness as he is to her steely intelligence. They argue about class, values and lifestyles, about clothes and crime. They quarrel, land in bed and end up even more confused than ever.
Giorgio realizes that Chanel has stolen his heart. And she is the only one who has recognized his true potential. Through a fluke his design talent gets him a job offer on Seventh Avenue. Chanel drops out of her PHD program, experiences the thrills of fashion trying her hand at shoplifting and is seduced by the possibility of love.
