Chanel has released a captivating new short film featuring A$AP Rocky and actress Margaret Qualley, portraying a couple stepping into a poignant new chapter. Directed by French filmmaker Michel Gondry—celebrated for his work on Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind—the three-minute visual blends surrealism with intimate storytelling, setting a distinctly romantic tone.

The film opens with Rocky and Qualley waking up together before Qualley slips away into the bustle of a New York City subway. Rocky, determined to reach her, embarks on a visually striking chase across Manhattan. Wearing bold red silk pajamas, he races through crowded streets and even swims across a river, his determination expressed wordlessly through Gondry’s imagery and a hypnotic score composed by Le Motel.

Serving as a teaser for Chanel’s upcoming Métiers d’Art 2026 show, the short film showcases the brand’s fusion of cinema and fashion. Rocky—recently announced as Chanel’s newest ambassador—praised Gondry, noting that many of his own self-directed music videos draw inspiration from the filmmaker. He shared his aspiration to direct a feature film someday, saying he admires creatives “like him.”

The teaser’s release sparked playful reactions online. After Chanel posted a preview on Instagram, fans humorously referenced Rihanna, Rocky’s partner and mother of his three children. Meanwhile, Margaret Qualley—married to musician Jack Antonoff—continues to shine professionally. The couple’s 2023 wedding was a star-studded affair attended by artists such as Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey, and Zoë Kravitz.

Chanel’s new short film not only highlights Gondry’s imaginative direction but also underscores the creative synergy between its stars, building anticipation for the forthcoming Métiers d’Art collection.
