The collaboration between Vanessa Paradis and Chanel is going strong - the French singer has been the brand's muse numerous times. And now, she's the face of Chanel Rouge Coco.

The campaign photos were taken by Jean Baptiste Mondino. And here's Vanessa during her make-up session in a photo feature by Women Sohu.

The ad campaign will include a short film starring Vanessa, who will also be the face of the brand's Rouge Coco lipstick.

Rouge Coco goes on sale in March and it looks set to be Chanel's top product in 2010. The lipstick is based on a design dating from 1952. A team of investigators tried to emulate the lipstick that Coco Chanel would have liked.

Oh, and the lipstick won't just be a visually exquisite piece. The formula created by Peter Phillips includes esters and phytoceramides to ensure that your lips are as moisturised as possible.
