When it comes to the impression given by Chanel, many people will definitely say elegant and intellectual.
But I would like to say that Chanel's elegance is far more than intellectual beauty. Have you ever seen Chana's son and daughter with a mouth with big lip nails and foot foot net socks?
Don't doubt your eyes, this is not a netp chart, it is a genuine Chanel 22 early spring vacation series official big show, to tell the truth I just saw when I was a little surprised, but these seemingly large leaps are actually reasonable for Chanel itself. Because the new season, whether it is ready-to-wear or handbags, is a kind of inheritance and breakthrough as a whole.
What is different from the past is that the most important thing for me to plant grass in this big show is these two sets of black and white patch-on ready-to-wear.
How' about that, isn't it a surprise? Don't worry, this is just a small part of this season's high-value ready-to-wear, and you will find more new surprises at the end.
First, let's talk about the handbags that everyone cares about the most. The characteristics of the new season of inheritance and breakthrough are particularly obvious in the handbags, for the continuation of the classic elements to increase the proportions, this makeup bag and woc is the best example, the new model is only slightly in the shoulder straps, small details have been changed, the overall no major changes, original, classic and not lost in the novelty.
There is also woc this time transformed into a multi-element fusion model, with as many as pearls, rhinestone logos, metal hairpins, chain tassels and other four decorative elements to bless, it looks like the hairpin is directly pinned to the handbag, chic and exquisite. In addition, the CF mouth cover bag can also see the same design as woc, visually detecting the new season of the explosion, and the little fairy with sales can be arranged in advance with the picture.
This BLACK-and-white contrasting CF lid bag is based on the continuation of elements such as quilted diamond check, double C buckle, leather chain shoulder strap, etc., and the center of the bag is longitudinally added with panels of contrasting leather, which is eye-catching and modern.
In addition, the pearl element is particularly eye-catching in the new season, which is a full memory kill for Chanel pearl fans.
You can see that the double C buckle on this new mouth cover bag has become pearlescent because of the two pearl element settings, which exactly echoes the pearl chain on the leather wear chain, and there is a little playfulness in the low-key luxury.
In addition to the return of a number of classic elements, the mouth cover bag has become more personalized and chic under the fusion of various new elements, like this pink mouth cover bag made of velvet material, soft and cute and temperamental, the party back is a must; this metal material is more suitable for high-end dinner parties.
There is also a new integration of camellias, pearl necklaces, Chanel brand logo and other classic elements of the print pattern mouth cover bag, then more than a holiday style, this bag to give me the feeling in addition to the personality of the body, is its silk scarf shoulder straps, both novel and fun, to tell the truth I have used a silk scarf as a shoulder strap to try to carry, very young taste.
The classic tweed cover bag is also ushering in a new upgrade this time, in the continuation of the classic black and white two-color at the same time boldly on the mask needle and thread feet have been deliberately unfinished processing, which is also the embodiment of the ultimate craftsmanship of the Xiangjia, plus wavy lace embellishment, giving people a sense of time leap, as if from the collection of the last century.
In addition to the classic replacement, compared to the previous seasons of the main mini handbag, the new season in the mini bag trend has slowed down, the whole show only appeared two mini bags, one is to open up a new era of handbag bags, set creativity and appearance in one of the "leg bags", the other is a belt bag, and the difference with the past is that this time is equipped with a nail hole wide belt, more wild and domineering.
You can see that the overall handbag color matching this season is basically hovering between black and white, and even ingenious black and white spelling, of course, this is no exception in ready-to-wear.
The reason for this is from jean Cocteau, the muse of the show and a close friend of Ms. Chanel.
He was associated with Ms. Chanel earlier, and was also one of the more important people in Ms. Chanel's mind, and the two not only had a long conversation on the couch of the Apartment on Campon Street, but also walked around arm in arm.
The teaser poster for this early spring show is a handwritten letter that Jean Cocteau once wrote to Ms. Chanel.
Jean Cocteau also painted portraits and fashion illustrations specifically for Chanel ladies.
Virginia Viard, the current Creative Director of the Boutique Division, is inspired by The Surreal-inspired film Orpheus's Testament by Jean Cocteau, which is a friendly tribute to Chanel, which tells the story of an 18th-century poet who travels through the tunnel of time into unreal space to experience death and rebirth, and the most impressive scene is the reflection of the black horse-headed man walking up the steps and the shadow reflected on the white walls of the quarry.
In addition, black and white are also the most classic representative colors of Chanel, so the new season of Chanel, whether it is a handbag or a ready-to-wear, is naturally black and white with a pun.
In addition to the two sets of ready-to-wear at the beginning and everyone planting grass, these two black and white coats that integrate irregular tailoring design are also good looks, they all add an inverted triangle design to the structure, although at first glance it looks a bit similar, but the neckline design of the two models is different, the white version is suitable for daily wear of the grounded flat lapel collar, and the black model is a simple and atmospheric atmosphere suitable for formal occasions to wear the aura round neck.
If you want to show your personality, I recommend starting with the crop top model to be more tall, and the other slim model to show the waist.
The new season also introduces a new black and white printed crepe long morning gown dress, and the newly integrated deer element in the Campon Street Apartment is integrated with other brand symbols (CHANEL brand logo, no. 5 perfume, CF handbag) printed on the clothes, romantic and classic.
It is also a memorial to the recently restored gabrielle Chanel's apartment at 31 Champon Street.
In addition to both inheritance and innovative black and white, you can see that the five-pointed star and peace dove pattern that frequently appear in the garment are actually the abstract paintings represented by Jean Cocteau, and now the classic reproduction can also be regarded as a tribute to the old gentleman.
Finally, let's talk about the biggest change of the season, which is also the problem I mentioned at the beginning, the integration of lip nails and fishnet socks will make Chanel less Chanel?
Not really, when I saw this scene, I thought of the 90s Chanel-inspired British supermodel Stella Tennant, who had a photo taken by the well-known photographer Mario Testino set in the legendary manor Chatsworth, the most impressive of which was the rebellious punk nose ring.
It is because of such a strong modern personality that Stella Tennant quickly became the love of Lafayette's eyes, and successfully dedicated her catwalk debut to Chanel and won the endorsement of the No. 5 perfume.
Stella Tennant is also an early Chanel punk prototype, and it is also a surprise that it is now a surprise to appear as an inspiration muse in the new season. Of course, the overall idea of the new season is virginia Viard's homage to the punk culture of 1960, and this time the protagonist they chose is the fashion supermodel Lola Nicon, who also set off a hot discussion last year on the Chanel Spring/Summer 2021 couture show because she rode a white horse.
In the show, Lola Nicon's head was not only printed on the T-shirt as a punk cultural element, she herself was also involved in the catwalk, and from the moment the closing show opened, I seemed to see the shadow of Stella Tennant from her, which may be the alternation of the old chanel punk characters.
In addition, the sexy short skirt, the best symbol of youth and rebellion in the 60s, also appeared in the new collection, and now it is combined with Chanel's classic suit under the integration of tassel elements, and the elegance is also a little rebellious.
In addition, on top of the short skirt, I also saw the collective resurgence of iconic elements such as stockings, tassels, leather, and beads representing punk rock in the 60s, which was also quite rare.
What do you think? Seeing the end is not to feel that punk and Chanel are not as incompatible as imagined, but so fit, this punk elegance is not only a good continuation of Chanel's proud elegance, but also a breakthrough in the girl's inner rebellious side just integrated, rigid and soft, relaxed, not just right.
To tell the truth, Chanel in the post-Lafayette era every innovation and breakthrough is enough to surprise, today's Chanel style is also continuing the elegance of the foundation of the mountain to become more diverse and powerful, which also means that more styles of girls can find their own small incense.
Whether you are a spontaneous and neat cool girl, a sexy and lively big girl, or a sweet and shy little cute, you can find your own uniqueness in the new Chanel.
