A good way to keep on moving is to go to the gorgeous Chanel Boutique in Rome located in front of the Spanish steps. The new cruise collection will arrive tomorrow, November 15th. Christmas is also an invitation to travel. This is also the Chanel point of view especially for the Cruise Collection.
The set is the Gare de Lyon, the famous parisian station. Once people used to take the Palatino Train to go to Rome with Wagons Lits. Now people prefes with Vueling or Easy Jet from Orly Airport. Chanel clients might even take private planes but this is another story…. So let’s start from Gare de Lyon. Caroline de Maigret, Soo Joo Park, Tami Williams, Ola Rudnika and Amanda Sanchez are the heroines of the mysterious back-and-forth through the Station. Five promises of a magical odissey on the banks of Chanel Style.
They embody the grace of journey, the one we missed or the one we fantasise about. Alberto Moravia, the italian great writer used to say that sometimes you are lazy, you don’t want to go, you don’t want to change and then… you are happy because travelling makes you feel better.
These silhouettes in continuous motion challenge the ones who see them to follow them. The spectrum of colours, from green to mauve, differentiates them, their timeless elegance brings them together. In few flashes, the Chanel woman appears in all her singularity.
A long jacket in pink tweed, a hooded trench coat belted at the waist, a blue suit with a large white bow bursting forth and a top enhanced with a big ruffed organdie collar, choreograph the thousand and one movements of these adventurers.
Sculpted in jersey leggings or double button trousers reminiscent of work uniforms, their legs lead them unrestrainedly along the paths of escape.. The curve of the foot is highlighted by pointed slingback pumps or two-tone booties with conical heels. One carries a Chanel 19 bag in quilted jersey on her arm, another a Chanel 31 in faded denim.
