Chanel Summer 2020 Eyewear Collection

Published

on

Pearls in suspension and a weightless double C. A tweed that plays with the seasons and a 3D quilting. Plays of materials and bright two-tone combinations. Over the course of these playful details and technical innovations, CHANEL revisits its codes bringing a daring and unprecedented transparency to its Summer 2020 eyewear collection.

Two pairs of sunglasses reinterpret the quilting in a transparent version. Contrasting with the white, black or tortoiseshell front, their wide temples come in crystal white, beige or smoky grey acetate. On both the temples, the stitches of diamond quilting are enhanced with a hand- sewn effect in relief. At the hinge of the frame, the letters of CHANEL have been marked by laser in a gradation of colours. These glasses adopt an XXL shield or a graphic rectangle shape. For the optical version, the quilting blends into the transparent acetate of the temples on the butterfly and oval designs.

With a striking purity and lightness, a butterfly frame and a new rectangular cat eye offer another vision of transparency, through their temples highlighted in black, tortoiseshell, navy blue or burgundy acetate. The double C signature seems to float on these ultra-comfortable sunglasses.

Three pairs of sunglasses with oval, pilot and square shapes complete this collection. Acetate or metal frames encircle mirrored or glitter lenses. Certain versions are embellished with a removable faux pearl necklace attached to the temples. No less than 86 grey or white glass beads dipped in resin compose this jewel, which can be worn at will. This necklace also punctuates a pair of square opticals, while other shapes are adorned with a discreet double C at the corner of the eye.

Inseparable from the allure of CHANEL, pearls return once more as a duo on the temples of the oval and rectangular sunglasses that are both elegant and essential.
In this new collection, a summery capsule inspired by the colours of the 2019/20 Cruise collection created by Virginie Viard, reinterprets the two-tone on three designs. Five colour duos adorn the acetate with a lacquered finish while a bright white double C signs the temples.

Inspired by the silhouettes of the Spring-Summer 2020 Ready-to-Wear collection imagined by Virginie Viard, tweed also makes an appearance in this eyewear collection and swathes the front of an oversized graphic and urban shield. On the wide acetate temples, the double C is displayed like a patch.

Chanel Summer 2024 Eyewear Collection

Published

on

Gabrielle Chanel made two-tone a signature element of her allure. Today it drives the Summer 2024 Eyewear collecon. Colour combinaons in classic or pop, gentle or contrasng hues illuminate four pairs of sunglasses: a large square, a high buterfly, a revised cat eye and a sophiscated shield. In a nod to Mademoiselle’s famous adage that for each of her creaons, the inside must be as beauful as the outside, these black frames are enrely trimmed in a colour that is also found on the back, itself matching the double C that marks their wide temples.
These lightweight frames, made from nylon fibre, are fited with mineral lenses, ensuring a beter visual acuity than tradional lenses.

Two-tone also features on a pair of sunglasses and a frame with Blue Light lenses. The front contrasts with brightly coloured temples which are enhanced with a double C lacquered in inverted tones.
The oval-shaped sunglasses frame combines burgundy and raspberry, while the version with Blue Light lens marries black with pink.

As the common theme of this eyewear collecon, the interplay of colours animates another pair of sunglasses. The leters of CHANEL appear on the temples of a buterfly frame that combines acetate with metal. Worked in all its facets, colour also slips into the photochromic lenses, which darken in a mater of seconds from pink to mauve grey or from champagne to dark brown when exposed to UV light, and lighten just as quickly in the shade.
An elegant and precious aviator frame completes this line, as 72 cubic zirconia diamonds are set by hand to compose the word CHANEL along the temples. Employing veritable jewellery-making experse, each diamond is set one by one, in a nod to the spirit of Gabrielle Chanel, who loved to mix precious stones with costume jewellery.

The CHANEL Summer 2024 eyewear collecon will be available from March.

Chanel – The Iconic Handbag

Published

on

– “Sorry, do you have any rooms available?”

This quote comes from the film A Man and A Woman (1966), which explores one of life’s greatest emotions: falling in love.

Virginie Viard has always been passionate about cinema – particularly the New Wave – and wanted to pay tribute to Claude Lelouch’s masterpiece. A work that smoulders with sensuality, with that legendary beach scene… the horizon as far as the eye can see… the eternal sea… and, of course, Deauville.

Deauville. The seaside resort where Mademoiselle Chanel opened a hat boutique bearing her name in 1912 and where she presented her first Haute Couture creations in 1913. There are no coincidences… But if they do exist, they are marvellous in terms of intuition, finesse and wisdom, because in the original film, the actress carried a CHANEL handbag during those scenes where love erupts.

This campaign photographed and directed by Inez & Vinoodh repeats almost word for word, shot by shot, some of the film’s original sequences, with Penélope Cruz, a living legend of the film world and CHANEL ambassador since 2018. And Brad Pitt, a cult actor who, with much delicacy, embodies the somewhat daunted, blushing man.

Their characters shudder, traversed by emotion, skin tingling with goosebumps. Penélope Cruz’s hand tightens on her bag, discreetly, as if to hide concern. Her fingers caress the quilted leather, we hear the sound of the clasp turning, and notice the chain over the shoulder… Instantly identifiable with its perfect silhouette, modern and rectangular, the iconic CHANEL bag and its impeccable allure that makes it so unique and desirable.

The bag we see in Claude Lelouch’s film was actually Anouk Aimée’s own bag, her favourite one, which she wore both on and off screen.

Placed on the table in a hotel restaurant, between the man and the woman, the legendary bag symbolises everything that, at some point in our lives, gives us the courage to assert our deepest desires. A unique and special moment. The bag conveys our audacity, the audacity to finally become the heroine of our own lives.

On screen, this legendary bag radiates a fragrance, a trilogy of emotions: fantasy, audacity, freedom. It’s as if there were no longer any boundaries between life and fiction.

– “Do you have any rooms available?”

Who hasn’t dreamt of asking that question? For an hour, a night – or even a lifetime. It’s a question that sends shivers down the spine, that makes the heart beat faster and harder. It’s a story about desire. About freedom. That feeling of being so incredibly alive.

In the original film, it was Jean-Louis Trintignant who asked “the” question. In this spirited remake, Penélope Cruz asks the waitress, played by Rianne Van Rompaey.
The CHANEL bag is an emblem. It metamorphoses according to the mood… a day bag to be worn in the evening, a faithful companion from a sleepless night to rising at dawn. It lasts a lifetime, to then be
handed down from generation to generation. Collection after collection, it appears in countless variations of colour, shape and material.
Imbued with meaning, contrast and mystery, it exudes a sense of freedom. It is a coat of arms slung over the shoulder, a liberated silhouette that reveals something about the wearer. It bears within it the very history of the House of CHANEL, its present, past and future, woven together like the links of its interlacing chains and leather ribbons.
It is a room unto itself, a hideaway, a place for reinventing oneself. Over the years and the CHANEL collections, countless designs have paid tribute to the iconic bag, reinforcing its status as a unique icon, indeed as a legend.

A Man and A Woman by Claude Lelouch

Claude Lelouch’s A Man and A Woman was released in France in 1966 before its international distribution. Winner of the Palme d’Or at the 1966 Cannes Film Festival, the Oscar for Best Foreign Film in 1967 and the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, the film marked an entire generation of filmgoers and filmmakers.
It tells the story of a man and a woman, both widowed, who meet at their children’s boarding school. The film examines the outpouring of desire, the hesitations and fears of a love encounter. How and when does everything change?
Because the film’s budget was so low, the director had to shoot the film in just three weeks. To save money, he shot the interior scenes in black and white and the exterior scenes in colour. Actress Anouk Aimée wore her own clothes and personal accessories, including her CHANEL bag, which can be seen on screen.

With this campaign, CHANEL continues to build on its longstanding relationship with cinema. Virginie Viard, Artistic Director of the Fashion collections, has always found inspiration in the seventh art. From the free-spirited atmosphere of the New Wave to the Hollywood studios, she regularly draws from her film culture, and just as Gabrielle Chanel did in her day, surrounds herself with the directors to whom she is close.

TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph 42mm : un orologio icona

Published

on

TAG Heuer, marchio storico dell’orologeria svizzera, che nasce nel 1860, lo sappiamo, e’ un marchio che ha fatto la storia della manifattura orologiera svizzera. I modelli del brand passati alla storia, e sviluppati per uno specifico scopo sono stati tantissimi. Come non citare l’Autavia nato dalla commistione di due nomi e scopi di utilizzo (Automobile Aviazione), oppure il Monaco, divenuto celebre grazie a Steve McQueen, l’Aquaracer ormai un caposaldo del mondo legato alle attività acquatiche, come la subacquea, per poi passare al nome forse più storico di tutti ovvero il TAG Heuer Carrera. Il Carrera infatti, nato come omaggio ad una corsa automobilistica, ovvero la Carrera Panamericana Mexico, e’ diventato un classico, l’orologio automatico di TAG Heuer che soddisfa ogni esigenza, e che si abbina a qualsiasi vestito, conferendo un tocco di stile e ricercatezza. L’orologio di cui parliamo oggi, è il TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph, che monta un calibro Heuer 02, di manifattura. Oltre alle eccezionali qualità del cronografo in se ( 1/4 secondo, contatore 30 minuti, contatore 12 ore) ha anche uno stile heritage, che collega benissimo la modernità con il passato. Questi sono gli orologi in cui investire, per un regalo, per i 18 anni o per la laurea, ovvero modelli che, non tramontano mai, sono portabili in qualsiasi situazione, e più vengono vissuti più diventano una personalizzazione propria. Questo TAG Heuer, in particolare, è dotato di cinturino marrone scuro con fibbia pieghevole con pulsanti in acciaio, in cui si trova il logo TAG Heuer. Una scelta ottima, comoda, e che assicura una perfetta aderenza dell’orologio al polso. Da notare, la raffinatezza interna dei dettagli in oro rosa, con sfondo bianco con corpo in acciaio satinato/lucidato, che arreca la dicitura del Calibre 02 Heuer. Il quadrante è da 42 mm, che ben si adatta a qualsiasi persona, con una impermeabilità di 100m e Lunetta fissa. La bellezza dei TAG Heuer, e parlo per tutti i modelli, come prima citato, non risiede solo nell’orologio, ma nel sapere che, al proprio braccio, stiamo portando un pezzo di storia. I TAG Heuer infatti, non sono orologi passivi, anzi, richiedono approfondimento e cultura, per capire quanto il loro valore sia un bene che, in un futuro, possa essere tramandato ai nostri figli.
( Questo modello e’ disponibile in altre 3 varianti, sul sito www.tagheuer.com).
