Second premium workshop series


In 1559, Queen Catherine became owner of Chenonceau Castle, and over the next 30 years continued to renovate and renovate the castle, adding new gardens.

The new items in this show also sewed the luxuriant flowers of the garden into the clothes.

The geometric checkerboard floor in the castle corridor also makes a beautiful print on clothes and bags.

It was Queen Catherine's most cherished residence and often hosted lavish dinners in the castle. In 1560, France held its first fireworks display to celebrate the accession of Catherine's son, Francois II, as king.

CHANEL also used colorful rhinestones on the belt and chest to restore this gorgeous brilliant picture, vivid and interesting.

At the same time, the mistress and details of the castle also have a deep relationship with Chanel.

Queen Catherine, for example, was orphaned in a similar way to Mademoiselle Chanel. Her iconic design carved into the castle is actually identical to the CHANEL logo.

The mantelpieces in the castle, as well as Queen Catherine's tapestries, are engraved with lions - a favorite totem of Madame Chanel. On both sides of the drive to the castle stand the lion statue, wise and calm.

In a 1936 article in Sport and the World, Gabrielle Chanel said she had "always had an indescribable fondness and admiration for the women of the period from Francois I to Louis XIII, perhaps because of their greatness, their innocence of nature and the majesty of responsibility."

"Women's attire in the 16th century was powerful, individual, contemporaneous and bold. They are queens in the arena of fate. The golden clothes on the body, like the family emblem, are a symbol of status. They are armed with gold and silver or brocade of colored flowers, and lace, and their posture is straight, and their faces are smiling, and they are more feminine than the goddess without a trace, and they have wealth, and they have wisdom and charm, and they achieve elegance."

"It's a castle with a human spirit." As Virginie Viard said, this is the most important common spirit of the site.

The owners who lived in Chenonceau were the representatives of Renaissance women, and they were like this castle: firm, exquisite, meaningful, leaving traces in the passing of time.

The pioneering work of Ms. Chanel is also a symbol of the growing power of women, drawing a heavy brush in the fashion circle.

In the past, women have to wear uncomfortable corsets every day, but Chanel believes that clothes should not become a woman's bondage.

In 1913, Chanel designed a series of loose lightweight knitwear to free women from the bondage of tight corsets;

She changed women's views on black, which women used to wear only at funerals, but Chanel's suits made black a trend that never ends in fashion history.

She designed Chanel's most classic tweed jacket......based on the hunting clothes of aristocratic men

-- She broke the rigid dress code for women.

It can be said that before CHANEL, women never thought that they could be so free and romantic.

CHANEL's clothes are both armor, of course, but also full of female tenderness.
