Ugandan Canadian actress @whitneypeak embodies the spirit of COCO MADEMOISELLE in this campaign spread for international luxury fashion house, Chanel. Shot by legendary duo Inez & Vinoodh, the star represents a young woman entering Paris and bringing the City of Lights to life through her positive energy and interactions with friends, lovers, and the people she encounters daily.
At just 20 years old, Whitney is at the dawn of her career but has already caused waves in Hollywood. The Gossip Girl and Hocus Pocus star is the new face of Coco Mademoiselle. Whitney was initially appointed as a US brand ambassador.
In an interview with ELLE, Whitney talks about what it means to be a spokesmodel for a Chanel fragrance:
It’s insane. Honestly. Not insane in a crazy, “this is a bizarre” way, but also just that it’s me. I can’t even wrap my head around it. I just feel very lucky and I’m so happy that I get to do this.
I never felt, when I was younger – I never saw myself in this position, and I never really saw, or felt represented. The fact that I’m doing this right now at my age with Chanel is so… I don’t know. I was just proud of myself. It’s just so cool.
