- NEW YORK: Most anyone interested in fashion would do anything to work with designer Karl Lagerfeld, even if it’s for an ice cream commercial.
Rachel Bilson jumped at the chance to star in a three-part short film series directed by the legendary Chanel designer for Magnum ice cream, which is launching in the United States. “I was like, I’m working with Karl Lagerfeld. I could be doing something, like, really ridiculous and in, like, a big clown suit. It wouldn’t matter,” she said. Bilson, 29, best known for her role on “The OC,” has also gained recognition for her sense of style and writes a column about fashion for In Style magazine. For Thursday night’s premiere for the ads at the Tribeca Film Festival, she wore a Chanel dress and carried a Chanel clutch. “I was very young when I knew that I was into fashion,” Bilson said. She said she insisted on picking her own outfits at the age of 2.
