CHANEL · La Pausa de CHANEL Spring-Summer 2022 Collection
In the 1920’s, Gabrielle Chanel chose idyllic Roquebrune-Cap-Martin on the Côte d’Azur to build her elegant villa, La Pausa — which also serves as inspiration for the Spring-Summer 2022 Collection. All the pieces are imbued with the earthy tones and sparkling light of the French Riviera, and in my honest opinion, this has to be one of CHANEL’s best releases to date … but fair warning: EVERYTHING is limited edition (*crying internally).
CHANEL · Backstage Beauty Métiers d’Art Show 2021
Every year CHANEL pays tribute to the virtuoso hands behind all the exquisite details that go into each creation with the Métiers d’Art show, with the 2021/22 Collection held at Le 19M — the new venue where all of the Maison’s artisans are currently housed. Initiated by Coco Chanel herself, this endeavour helps to preserve the incredible skills of several hundred artisans, while also shaping new specialists to further these time-honoured traditions. The beauty look was both avant-garde and timeless … and you can bet that I’ll be trying my hand to recreate it. Wish me luck.
CHANEL · N°5 Holiday 2021 Makeup Collection
CHANEL’s iconic N°5 is celebrating 100 years of celebrity and is the inspiration behind this year’s 2021 Holiday Makeup Collection. The classic golden-yellow hue of the fragrance has been transformed into makeup for face & eyes, while red — the very colour of life — adorns lips and nails. Of course, there’s a little bit of sparkle thrown in as well to help you “zhuzh” up your looks … done in CHANEL’s inimitably elegant style, naturally.
CHANEL SS22 Ready-To-Wear · Backstage Beauty
CHANEL’s recent Spring-Summer 2021 Ready-To-Wear runway show was held in a temporary location near famous Paris landmark, Les Invalides, and paid homage to the 90s supermodel days as the models bounded down the catwalk while vamping it up for the photographer mosh pit at the end. In contrast to all that glam, makeup was soft, wearable and just so perfectly pretty, paired with minimal hair to keep everything balanced. Not surprising, nails sported CHANEL’s iconic Ballerina — aka: the shade of choice for the majority of the brand’s shows, and I’m ok with that as since this has long been one of my absolute faves to wear … I’m happy seeing more eclectic shades with any upcoming beauty collections!
CHANEL Fall-Winter 2021 · Tone On Tone Collection
I know it’s still summer, but beauty marches to its own calendar … case in point: today’s post on CHANEL’s Fall-Winter 2021 Tone On Tone Collection. With a focused colour palette, this collection is about a hushed kind of harmony, and while winter might be in its name, to me this grouping seems like it’s encapsulating fall’s full splendour — which is what I’ll be going with, as I’m nowhere near ready to even think of cold weather.
