The Chanel Cruise collection inspired by the Middle East was shown yesterday in Dubai. Harem pants, ghutra-pattern-inspired jackets and sheer jumpsuits layered with tweed-mix tops along with dress coats and mosaic skirts were key pieces featured in the collection. Hints of the 70s and Arabian Nights were plentiful.
Seated on cushions around lantern-lit low tables, the audience was surrounded by sand and palm trees inside a custom-made, glass-skirted building. Dakota Fanning, Vanessa Paradis and Tilda Swinton were flown in to view the showcase. On Dubai, Swinton commented, “I don’t know if I’m truly experiencing Dubai, but I’m having a very nice 24 hours.” Anyone else slightly freaked out by her?
Crescent-moon diamond hair brooches were under investigation. “I like the idea that you have no way of knowing whether the diamonds and pearls are real or not,” said Lagerfeld, who used lashings of both, plus costume versions in the show. “That’s very Coco, no?”. Oui, Karl.
Can we all just dress in Chanel Cruise for the rest of our lives?
