Screen star DEMI MOORE is set to portray legendary fashion designer COCO CHANEL in a gritty new biopic.

Moore will play the French fashionista from the age of 20 through to maturity, according to American newspaper the Baltimore Sun.

The film will chart Chanel's lesser-known stint as a singer through to her colourful life as a style icon, as well as exploring her many love affairs - one of which was with a Nazi officer during World War Two. (ZJS/WNWCBAL/SC)
