Internationally renowned stage and screen director Baz Luhrmann discusses his visually arresting new Chanel No. 5 promotional video featuring an inventive new take on GREASE showstopper "You're The One That I Want" in a new clip now available to view.

Of note, supermodel Gisele Bundchen and GAME OF THRONES standout Michiel Huisman star in the new ad directed by Luhrmann.

"Gisele, in her own DNA, comes from a new world sensibility - and I think that's both fresh and very true to Coco Chanel," Luhrmann reveals in the new interview.

"Coco brought the new era to the old world - she was the one the smashed the conventions," Luhrmann adds.

Plus, Lurhmann shares of Chanel herself, "She was 100 percent behind the new, 100 percent behind possibility, and, 100 percent, in her DNA, a self-empowered woman."

"Gisele felt honored, I think, to be the No. 5 woman," Luhrmann concludes.
