CHANEL CRUISE 2020-21

The Chanel first collection presented virtually. Forget the spectacular fashion shows at the Palais Royal during the Karl Lagerfeld direction, Virginie Viard is is much simpler and more discreet, and above all the show has been online because lockdown. Initially the collection has been scheduled to show in Capri on May 7. "Initially I had Capri in mind, where the show was supposed to take place, but didn't happen in the end because of lockdown. So we had to adapt: not only did we decide to use fabrics that we already had, but the collection, more generally, evolved towards a trip around the Mediterranean... The islands, the scent of the eucalyptus, the pink shades of the bougainvillea," explained designer Viard in a press release. The collection drew inspiration from legendary actresses of the 1960s, who nonchalantly took advantage of the Mediterranean sun with simple, light, chic and casual clothes, which, like long skirts that can also be worn as bustier dresses, were at times multi-functional.
 Too bad, it would have been nice to see these clothes presented in our beautiful Capri!
