The Cruise collection by Karl Lagerfeld embodies the designer’s ideal vision of ancient Greece, in which mythological symbols intermingle with the Chanel codes. Marine Vacth wears draped dresses and tweed tunics featuring jewels.

Clémence Poésy was Daphné Hézard's guest for the second episode of the 3.55 podcast of "CHANEL at colette." They talked about an actor's duty to be creative in interpreting a role, the difficulty of understanding a historical figure, and Clémence's love of drawing and directing short films.

The "3.55" podcasts are available on chanelatcolette.fr

The Cruise 2017/18 collection, unveiled in Paris last May in an ancient Greek decor, will be presented in China on November 7 in the city of Chengdu.

If collecting is the art of juxtaposing works from different eras and places, Gabrielle Chanel had a certain taste for the exercise. Her interest in classical civilization, especially that of ancient Greece, converged with her love of Chinese antiquities, which she collected throughout her life, beginning with Coromandel screens. In her apartment at 31 rue Cambon, Mademoiselle created a dialogue between the bust of a Greek statue and some 18th-century Chinese vases, comparing their clean and powerful lines.

For this first podcast, director and screenplay writer Deniz Gamze Ergüven talked with Daphné Hézard at the "CHANEL at colette" event.
