Walking the fine line between elegance and rebellion


"Actress Nana Komatsu became the heroine in Inez & Vinoodh's shot, and the dynamic energy of the carousel in the film set inspired me to come up with the Bermuda shorts suit and the asymmetrical design,"

So says Virginie Viard, who wants to give this season's works a delicate and dynamic aesthetic.

Some people have said that if you want to understand the French fashion industry in the 1960s, you must see this film, and the famous director Stanley Kubrick said that the film was ten years ahead of its time.

William Klein, who has multiple identities as a fashion photographer and artist, used ironic, absurd and surreal expression techniques to present his profound insight into the fashion industry at that time.

The asymmetric cut of the coat, the slit of the dress, the oblique opening of the suit, these slightly harsh tailoring techniques, also should not be and the atmosphere of the film.

The heroine Polly Maggoo is played by William Klein's favorite model Dorothy McGowan. Her role in the film is also a young popular model who performs many fashionable costumes for everyone.

Many of the film's styling inspirations were also reflected on the Chanel show this season, such as the multi-layered necklace.

agnes b was designed by fashion editor Agnes Trouble. The striped dress is also one of the most impressive looks, which later led to the creation of agnes b. Brand, and followed this striped series.

The black and white stripe elements also appeared in the show, and the black and white main tone of the whole show seemed to echo this stripe shape.

In the film, Polly Maggoo appears to be a superficial representation of a delicate, unthinking stranding doll, but in the end she becomes the only "rebel", a character who questions her identity and situation.

This rebellious spirit has been embedded in the brand since the days of Gabrielle Chanel, and this season it was evident in the cold, smoky makeup of the models on the runway.

The leather clothes and boots that show bright luster are also the best expression of unruly and rebellious temperament.

"Feminine power in a burst of grace"

"I wanted to project an image that was powerful but also elegant and chic, sexy and glamorous, the kind of image that inspires other women. It's cool to be able to do Virginie's work, it makes me feel the full joy of fashion."

As Komatsu Nana expressed in the interview, every piece of Chanel this season, to some extent, can allow women to reinvent themselves at any time, "I not only like the beauty of Chanel." I also like the spirit of hardness and tenderness."

Since the beginning of the last century, Chanel has been the best representative of female power, and Chanel's female power has always been shown in the most elegant way through clothing.

The chic hip lapel collar, the flowered coat that looks like your son's robe, and the men's coat that you wear when you go out in the morning, all add up to the inspiring Bohemian spirit...... In the show, the image of a female artist who is both soft and firm emerged leisurely.

"The fading colors, the hazy pinks, the craftsmanship, the touch of the 1960s and 70s, the British atmosphere, the comfortably wrapped coats and the solid materials make the collection full of authenticity and charm."

For Chanel brand, breaking the shackles of traditional cultural ideas on women is one of its consistent goals.

And the women wearing Chanel, it seems that they can always feel the tough help that the clothing gives them.

Because women can not only be as soft as water, but also have a heart as tough as a rock.
