Film-maker Sofia Coppola has strong ties with both Chanel and Japan. She is perhaps best known for her Tokyo-based 2003 film ‘Lost In Translation’ in which Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson befriend each other as they find themselves lost and lonely in the Japanese capital. As Coppola tells Monocle’s Tyle Brûlé, her relationship with Chanel began when she was 15, during a summer internship in Paris.
