Paris – 31 Rue Camcon 2019/20 Métiers D’art Collection – Chanel

Published

on

Who hasn’t dreamt of climbing the mythical Art Deco staircase at 31 rue Cambon in Paris, of entering Gabrielle Chanel’s apartment, of discovering this intimate, baroque space filled with her books and favourite objects, before going downstairs to attend a show in the salon? On December 4th 2019, it’s the entire atmosphere of 31 rue Cambon that has been recreated at the Grand Palais, to present the 2019/20 Métiers d’art collection. This emblematic address, the heart of CHANEL’s Fashion creation, was transposed to the nave of the Grand Palais, transformed for the occasion into a timeless space. An extremely refined écrin for a collection that renders the codes and the allure of CHANEL sublime.

There is a sort of simplicity in going back to Chanel’s ABC. We don’t need to do too much,” confides Virginie Viard,I didn’t want the usual long-distance travelling of the Métiers d’art collections, I wanted to stay in Paris. So, we had to think of a new way of doing things. And then there are the codes invented by Gabrielle Chanel and made sublime by Karl Lagerfeld, which I like mixing up too. I like the idea of a patchwork. For me, it has to be on the same level as in real life. I always question the context, which has nothing to do with the way we lived decades ago: what would a woman like today? How would she wear it?

This very contemporary collection of an iconic elegance comes as jumpsuits made of tweed so fine it is as supple as knitwear, and as short suit jackets with rounded edges, worn with low waisted skirts, slit at the front to liberate legs in motion; and on the ribbon of bare skin between the two, a fine belt in chains and pearls.
A little black jacket buttons up the side, a suit becomes a dress with an asymmetric décolletage and a long pointed train attached to one shoulder, flowing down the back. Inspired by a pink tweed suit created by Gabrielle Chanel in 1960, whose lining was tie-dyed in black, blue, pink and mauve, here the tie-dye is on the outside of the tweed of several suits, and all over the chiffon of a long dress cut into a pointe, trimmed with ethereal feathers, as well as on the braids and on the iconic bags of the House, the 11.12 and the 2.55. Finally, the BOY CHANEL and CHANEL’s GABRIELLE become miniature bags which are worn as jewellery.

Emotion vibrates in the air as the models descend the white-trimmed beige steps of the grand staircase and walk through the salon. Straight, double-breasted coats in black fine bouclé cashmere with belts in long chiffon ribbons embroidered with wheat, ribbons and chains in sequins and beads, appear in succession.
Slender silhouettes pass by in a dress of embroidered black lace, neckline framed with feathers, or in a diaphanous dress of pearl-coloured lace sprinkled with tulle camellias embroidered in relief, accessorised with a minaudière in the shape of a golden cage constellated with strass, a reference to the little bird cage present in Mademoiselle’s apartment.

A long dress in white duchess satin with a pure line, worn with a cape, double-breasted black strapless dresses and a champagne-hued lace ensemble – inspired by the legendary portrait of Gabrielle Chanel photographed by Cecil Beaton in 1937 – of a sensual suppleness that swathes the body like a second skin. The silhouette is punctuated with a godet in the same lace that floats like a trail of perfume…
The camellias made by Lemarié become sculptures and completely cover little evening bomber jackets: one is quilted, with flowers made of duchess satin, with strass at their centre, and worn with black sequinned trousers; the other is white with flowers in silk pongee, their centres embroidered like jewels.

The two-tone, another CHANEL code, features on the shoes made by Massaro – like these gold leather pumps embellished with little bows with black toes – and the graphic suits that alternate black with white.
The wheat, the ribbon, the pearls are embroidered by the House of Lesage onto a precious strapless dress accompanied by a tulle coat of an exceptional refinement.
While black and gold are very present, pink appears as one of the key colours of the collection: soft pink, apricot, raspberry and even garnet on the tweed of both skirt and trousers suits, and also on a tweed jumpsuit. The suit is also revisited in a fuchsia pink satin, trimmed with braid made from an intense pink tweed, while the skirt, pleated at the front and straight at the back, imposes a fluid and liberated allure.

Diaphanous and regal, dresses in the colour of weather, as if they’ve been dipped in a summer sky as well as a long dress in silk chiffon with its entirely pleated skirt, streaked with braids made of flowers, halo the show with an otherworldly aura.

Silhouettes are accessorised with an accumulation of costume jewellery: cuff bracelets, plastron necklaces in pearls and strass from which sautoir necklaces and other pendants all seem to spark, chokers with white strass stars, while chain belts are embellished with rows of pearls, bows and camellias.

Behind this collection is the constant creative dialogue between Virginie Viard and the Métiers d’art that has lasted three decades. A vision of pure magic that, on December 4th 2019 at the Grand Palais, within a showcase of Gabrielle Chanel’s talismans, transcended the very notion of fashion to achieve a timeless elegance, allure and beauty according to CHANEL.

The actresses and CHANEL ambassadors Kristen Stewart, Vanessa Paradis, Lily-Rose Depp, Penélope Cruz, Alma Jodorowsky, Marine Vacth and Yara Shahidi attended the runway show, as did friends of the House Sofia Coppola, Marion Cotillard, Isabelle Adjani, Carole Bouquet, Angèle, Margaret Qualley and Sébastien Tellier.

The show was followed by dinner at La Coupole, with a performance by the Belgian singer Angèle and a soirée at the dancing of La Coupole.

ACT N°1 Collezione Autunno Inverno 2024/25

Published

on

La nuova collezione ACT N°1 e la sua rappresentazione attraverso gli abiti e le immagini è un omaggio al cinema, una poesia d’amore per l’arte cinematografica e il suo linguaggio analogico, dal passato ad oggi. Non solo amore per le immagini che scorrono sul grande schermo ma per il rito, ormai scomparso, di sedere in una grande sala al buio e lasciarsi incantare dal silenzio e dallo schermo argentato. La nascita del cinema, le tecniche di ripresa, il linguaggio espressivo tolto alle parole e lasciato ai volti, è ciò che Luca Lin ha scelto per comunicare la sua nuova collezione.

Nel video, sono i volti dei personaggi intepreti della collezione a raccontare un sentimento quotidiano che diventa dolore, angoscia, sofferenza del vivere oggi. Ogni look è studiato per comunicare un animus diverso. La collezione parte dalla decostruzione del guardaroba maschile e di un capo femminile, il corsetto con i suoi lacci e le sue limitazioni. La stratificazione parla di sovrastutture sociali da superare. L’effetto è loose e over, con capi scivolati e sovrapposti. Il fit è ampio sia nei capospalla sia nei pantaloni con elastico in vita. Le giacche sono super-over, esasperate nelle proporzioni. La camicia è il prodotto della stratificazione di tre camicie, le t-shirt sono una sopra all’altra, così come le giacche.

Anche i colori usati in degradè, parlano di un incontro tra il grigio urbano e i toni della terra. Antracite, cemento, nuvola, terra, beige, neutri, il contrasto tra bianco e nero. Il verde militare.

Nella storia, alla fine, c’è un senso di liberazione e di integrazione attraverso la rappresentazione del Mahjong, gioco tradizionale in Cina, che unisce diverse età e culture. E una lezione intensa: la guerra è sofferenza e non importa quale guerra sia, non importa da quale parte stai. La guerra è giusta solo se si chiama pace.

Alla scoperta di Fez con la collezione Primavera/Estate 2024 di Niù

Published

on

«Un viaggio in Marocco, per conoscere, comprendere e ricordare.
Un incontro cercato, preparato, studiato per poi lasciarsi
sorprendere dalla magia dei luoghi e delle persone.
Un’esperienza di vita autentica, per guardare con i nostri occhi,
senza lasciarci condizionare dai racconti altrui».

Serena Cibischino, fondatrice e CEO di Niù.

Per la collezione Primavera/Estate 2024, Niù è volato in Marocco, pronto ad assaporare appieno la cultura, la spiritualità, l’energia potente e dinamica delle sue terre.

Il profumo del tè alla menta si spande per i vicoli di Fez, luogo d’ispirazione per la prima parte della collezione, con la sua Medina brulicante di vita, con gli stucchi che rivestono i palazzi e lo zullayi, il mosaico in terracotta smaltata di cui moschee e le scuole coraniche sono ricoperte. Qui si incontrano le tante nuance della terra, del grano, delle spezie come la curcuma, oltre al verde sgargiante della torre simbolo della città. Qui si respira il Maghreb più colto e le persone si muovono con una spontaneità che lascia il segno.

Queste suggestioni danno vita a fantasie, abbinamenti di colore e di stoffe, giochi di volumi e lunghezze da cui prendono corpo i capi Niù. Gli ampi pantaloni palazzo sono abbinati a capispalla dal peso leggero in vista della primavera, a top annodati sotto al seno o a lunghi abiti con stampe che richiamano i decori geometrici tipici del luogo.

LGNC reveals its 2024 Fall Winter collection “THE WORLD AFTER US”

Published

on

LGNC unveils its FW24 collection, “THE WORLD AFTER US”. After several seasons of communicating around an apocalyptic storytelling, the designers wanted to continue the story and impose their vision through this new collection, while remaining true to their commitments and values.

The codes and the DNA of LGNC are established, making it possible to present a complete and modular wardrobe. LGNC focused here on their retro futuristic DNA but even more on its motto : “STREETCARE”. For them, clothes are a way of healing individuals.

This results in tight or oversized cuts, playing with materials that they consider to be second skin, such as leather, pony hair or stretch fabrics. Playing with their very high signature collars to protect or their repeating rivets, these designs are a way to seal the clothing and make a shell out of it. A lot of details and codes that make perfect sense to their motto.

You will find here the perfect wardrobe to heal.
