The location was Loewen Cluster, a disused military barrack just minutes from the ultra sophisticated skyscrapers of downtown Singapore.

The old black and white buildings were reconstructed more than 6 months ago to transform them into long white-washed galleries, shuttered from the tropical sun with black and white chick blinds. It regained much of its former colonial glory with a good scrub and polish yet left enough of its past in the peeling painted walls and rickety wooden ceilings. It's this romantic charm and imperfection that Lagerfeld loves which new things don't always have - plus it sets the mood.

The result was perfect - the background was set for Lagerfeld to march Chanel's fashion army down the runway on the 9th May 2013.

The Cruise season calls for balmy weather, and Lagerfeld hit the nail on the head with Singapore - with its tropical temperatures and steep colonial past. The setting and locale couldn't be more perfect.

Previously, Chanel's Cruise collections have been shown in St Tropez, Cap d’Antibes and Versailles in France. This was to be Chanel's inaugural worldwide Cruise debut in Singapore – a place that has more high temperatures than low, said Bruno Pavlovsky, Chanel's president, and where the climate remains warm from October to June when the collection is available for retail.

Coincidentally, this collection marks 100-years of Coco Chanel’s foray into fashion with her boutique in Deauville, France, in 1913. Mixing colonial style with Parisian Riviera chic, Lagerfeld sent out over 80 looks of startling contrasts - wide palazzo trousers and then some skinny pencil skirts. Long cardigans and sailor striped tunics were given a jolt a few looks later with short jackets and mini crochet dresses. Denim was mixed in elegantly as were cricket player ensembles of two-tone v-neck sweaters, crisp shirts, a tie and a Singapore cricket bat and shin pads. All the better to knock you out for six .

Lovers of Chanel’s signature diaphanous clothes were not disappointed with pencil dresses defined by black lacquered straw and heavily embroidered dresses by Lesage with blue sequins and strings of pearls. Other Chanel signatures include languid satin dresses and of course, the House tweed – knitted this time in beige and navy with an open weave that perfectly suits tropical evenings. Delicate black lace was backed in cotton poplin and layered with crisp white trousers for both men and women in case you wanted to do a his and hers.

And what’s a Chanel show without a sprinkling of magical stardust? This came in the form of Chanel ambassadors Zhou Xun, Anna Mouglalis, Astrid Berges-Frisbey, actresses Dakota Fanning, Rinko Kikuchi and Singapore’s small screen darlings, Zoe Tay and Fann Wong. On the runway, the supermodel delights of Stella Tennant, Joan Smalls, Cara Delevingne and all of China’s tops including Xiao Wen Ju, He Sui and Ming Xi did their catwalk turn for a delighted international audience.

Cruise is an important season for the French house and especially so this year with the celebration of 100 years of Chanel fashion as initially realised by Madame Coco Chanel herself in 1913.

So, isn’t it fitting that Mr Lagerfeld commemorated this occasion with a film about Coco Chanel? Shown the night before on the manicured lawns of the Raffles Hotel, a large movie screen played the 15-minute movie under starry skies, all washed down with that classic of cocktails - the Singapore Sling.

Set in 1913, with Keira Knightley as Coco Chanel and a bevy of beauties as customers and naysayers, the satirical film takes a light hearted view of fashion with all its frivolities. It is shot in black and white and beautifully accessorized in Chanel, of course.

Earlier, at the accessoirisation session at Raffles Hotel, Karl Lagerfeld executed his final defining touches to the outfits that were to be showcased at this global event.

Rows and rows of rhodium link bracelets and necklaces added that touch of modernity and punk (so appropriate given that the night before, the much awaited New York Met Museum’s theme party was "Punk –from chaos to couture”).

Under Lagerfeld’s hand, atypical Deco dresses and trousers became utterly modern just with a swagger and a hand in the pocket. “Put your hand in your pocket and walk like this” said Lagerfeld to catwalk darling Saskia De Brauw. In her white vest and trousers and man-style tweed jacket, she defined cool with one hand clutching her white bag on her right and her left tucked neatly into her trouser. It’s all about a swagger – and if we learned anything from Lagerfeld’s trip to this little Red Dot, it was this: the right attitude can turn a simple dress into something utterly modern and desirable.

Filming took place over two days in March 2013 at the Cité du Cinéma, a studio complex just outside Paris. Its decor was an identical reproduction of the street where [Coco Chanel’s] boutique was located.

“I thought it was going to be a silent movie” reveals actress Keira Knightley. “When I arrived I was asked to speak in French. I only said ‘bonjour’ and ‘merci’ and then carried on in English. Filming with Karl Lagerfeld is a real treat. I instantly agreed to be his Coco!”

Keira Knightley and Clotilde Hesme wore matching outfits especially designed by Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel. Among the other actors were loyal devotees of the couturier, such as the models Stella Tennant, Lindsey Wixon and Jamie Bochert, Caroline de Maigret, plus Lady Amanda Harlech and her daughter Tallulah. And the boys included Baptiste Giabiconi, Sébastien Jondeau, Jake Davis and [Brad Kroenig] along with his son Hudson.

The actors discovered their lines just before each take. “Karl Lagerfeld stage manages the actors in a truly direct way” elucidates Keira Knightley. “It was the first time I’ve worked like that too” Clotilde Hesme confides. “It’s very fun and vibrant. It encourages us to really be aware of the other actors”.

Soundtrack: Giacomo Puccini "Ah! Finalmente!", extract from "Tosca"]]></description>

This exhibition has once again been entrusted to Jean-Louis Froment, the curator of the previous editions of Culture Chanel, held successively in Moscow’s Pushkin State Museum for Fine Arts, in Beijing at the National Art Museum of China and more recently in the Opera House in Canton.

Made up of subtle plays of correspondences, N°5 Culture Chanel cracks the N°5 code to reveal the links which connected it to specific moments in time and to the avant-garde movements it spanned.

The works of art, photographs, archives and objects exhibited provide an account of the many inspirations which fed the imagination and world of Mademoiselle Chanel. They echo her inner thoughts and shed light on this unique and timeless perfume; whether through her favorite destinations like Venice, Russia or her villa, La Pausa or through the creations of her artist, poet and musician friends Cocteau, Picasso, Apollinaire, Stravinsky, Picabia.

Focusing on the long lasting attachments between Chanel and the arts, [N°5 Culture Chanel] seeks to reveal the timeless and iconic artistic essence of the N°5 perfume.

The N°5 Culture Chanel Exhibition has been put together by Jean-Louis Froment with the participation of Irma Boom, Piet Oudolf, Laurent Burgisser and [Jérôme Schlomoff.]

Endlessly desirable and reinvented with each season, its modernity and apparent simplicity make it an indispensable item in any woman’s wardrobe.

Conceived by Mademoiselle Chanel in the 1950s and inspired by Austrian jackets for men, this tailored jacket, when combined with a skirt reaching just below the knee line, became Chanel’s classic suit. In direct contrast to the tight, restricting styles of the 1950s, this suit offers complete freedom of movement.

This suit jacket in tweed - one of Mademoiselle Chanel’s favourite fabrics - is straight and structured, buttoned up edge-to-edge and conceived to fit like a second skin, without shoulder pads and stiffening which would only bring it rigidity.

To achieve suppleness while maintaining shape, the fabric is put together on the straight grain without any darts on the bust line. The same for the back with just a simple seam down the middle. A vertical panel on the sides joins the jacket’s front to the back. The sleeves are cut on the straight grain and are attached at the top of the shoulder. They are slightly angled at the elbow, so as to take on the line of the arm and move easily with it, providing perfect comfort.

Mademoiselle Chanel was greatly attached to this freedom of movement and took her customers’ measurements with their arms crossed on the shoulders.

Braiding outlines the jacket’s shape, the edge of the pockets and sleeves, strengthening its graphic quality.

The pockets are positioned, so that the woman may slide her hands inside them, something seen as a relatively masculine gesture in Mademoiselle Chanel’s day.

Jewelled buttons stamped with lion heads (Mademoiselle Chanel’s star sign was leo), ears of wheat and double 'C' emblems button the jacket up. To this model, Mademoiselle Chanel would add Baroque-style costume jewellery, a 2.55 bag, two-toned shoes, and maybe a camellia from among the accessories that marked her style.

Today, this jacket has become one of Chanel’s icons, and with each season it receives a new lease on life in the hands of Karl Lagerfeld, but even if its proportions and materials change, the principles of its construction remain identical.

This event will take place at the Guangzhou Opera House, designed by the architect Zaha Hadid, from January 16th to March 3rd, 2013.



Based on the longstanding links between Chanel and the arts, this exhibition centres on Pablo Picasso’s stage backdrop, designed and created by him for the 1924 ballet, Le Train Bleu (The Blue Train). This major work, conserved at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, has been exceptionally lent by the museum for this occasion. Le Train Bleu, a ballet produced by Serge Diaghilev, owes its name to the train that once linked Paris with the Côte d’Azur. He commissioned Darius Milhaud as composer, Jean Cocteau as librettist, [Henri Laurens] as set designer, Pablo Picasso for the programme and backdrop, and Mademoiselle Chanel as costume designer.



Gabrielle Chanel’s creative and intimate world is traced out like filigree when seen through the different artists who contributed to Le Train Bleu’s creation. She maintained a lifelong dialogue with them and their friendship gave impetus to her extraordinary creative output. This freedom of thought, combined with the desire to liberate the body through movement expressed at the turn of the 20th century (whether in sport or dance), are two fundamental aspects of the Chanel style.

Starting from a perceptive reading and a deconstruction of the different elements in the backdrop, the exhibition develops around five themes derived from the standpoints: Breathe, Move, Love, Dream and Invent.



These themes, that underpin the creative universe and values of Chanel, are evoked through 400 works, including photographs, drawings, paintings, manuscripts, books, films and creations from fashion (from Mademoiselle Chanel to Karl Lagerfeld), as well as from watchmaking, fine jewellery and fragrances.

Among the pieces exhibited visitors will discover for the first time around thirty previously unseen drawings by Pablo Picasso from a private collection, along with drawings by Amedeo Modigliani that are portraits of the major protagonists involved in Le Train Bleu’s creation.

Conceived to be an “exhibition in 5 acts with 1 painting”, these five themes ultimately lead visitors towards the exhibition’s masterpiece - the backdrop by Picasso.

Following two exhibitions of the same name (one held at the National Museum of China in Beijing, and the other at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Shanghai), Chanel is partnering with the Guangdong Museum of Art to host an exhibition at the Guangzhou Opera House, a prestigious building designed by the architect Zaha Hadid. "Designed to retell various chapters of the same story, “Culture Chanel” seeks to reveal [Gabrielle Chanel's] unique journey with Chanel,” explained Jean-Louis Froment, who has been commissioned to curate these exhibitions.


For this chapter, Sergei Diaghilev's ballet serves as the backdrop for the exhibition, a ballet named after Le Train Bleu (The Blue Train), and a luxury overnight train that first began operation in December 1922 and carried passengers from Paris to the French Riviera. It symbolizes the yearning for leisure and travel that was prevalent at this time. Diaghilev considered Le Train Bleu more of an operetta to be danced than a ballet. It was presented for the first time in Paris in June 1924, featuring music by Darius Milhaud, a libretto penned by Jean Cocteau, scenery designed by Henri Laurens and a stage backdrop and program created by [Pablo Picasso]. [Gabrielle Chanel], who was in charge of costume design, created sporty jersey garments for this avant-garde ballet that echoed her vision of fashion at the time. The protagonists of this project would remain close, faithful collaborators with [Gabrielle Chanel] for the rest of her life. "These are the artists who led [Gabrielle Chanel] to consider her work as art, which helped her transition from the concept of fashion to that of style,” emphasizes Jean-Louis Froment. This thought process inspired Gabrielle Chanel to create a language that was both modern and timeless, which is illustrated brilliantly through the display cases filled with both her designs and designs by Karl Lagerfeld.


The exhibition decrypts Chanel style by focusing on five major themes: Breathe, Move, Love, Dream and Invent, which culminate with the monumental stage backdrop by Picasso. The world of Chanel comes to life with 400 works on display in a diaphanous and elegant setting. These include artwork (including approximately 30 drawings by Picasso), photographs, books from [Gabrielle Chanel's] personal library, films, couture pieces by both [Gabrielle Chanel] and [Karl Lagerfeld], jewelry, watches and perfumes.

- Surgeon's hall museum.

- Valvona & Crolla deli and restaurant.

- Route one: Skate shop.

- Murrayfield ice rink.

- Transgression & Saughton skate parks.

- Summerhall and its Royal Dick pub: Great venue with interesting events / exhibitions etc..

- Scottish gallery of Modern Art: Beautiful architecture with Charles Jencks land art outside, good cafe with garden and free parking.

- The Dean Gallery: Just across the road from the Modern.

- The forth rail and road bridges.

- Arthur's Seat to stretch your legs and get a 360' view of the city.

- Dunsapie Loch and Duddingston loch: Where Raeburn's famous minister skated (this painting can be seen in the Nathional gallery of Scotland).

- Kay's bar off India st.

- The Botanic garden.

... And more! Edinburgh is a beautiful city to explore on foot, because the city is built on a series of rocky hills, the perspective is constantly changing. From the tops you look out over the sea, or over the Firth of Forth to Fife. Often a church or monument will frame the view. As Robert Louis Stevenson wrote it is 'a dream in masonry and living rock'.

By Natasha Inchley

The wonderful thing about Chanel is that even its most basic propositions have a kick. Case in point is The Little Black Jacket, a house emblem created by Mademoiselle Coco Chanel that remains to this day so intrinsically cool as to warrant a touring exhibition and a weighty, regally bound tome on the subject.

Having previously staged in Tokyo, New York, Taipei, Hong Kong, London and Moscow, it was now Sydney’s turn to fete The Little Black Jacket: Chanel’s Classic Revisited by Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld on Thursday night, with scores of industry tastemakers, including models, actors and designers, turning out at Walsh Bay for a reception alongside the Harbour Bridge, at the very edge of the city’s shimmering moonlit waters.

Inside, the crowd packed into the darkened loft-like gallery space to take in Karl Lagerfeld’s portraits of “friends of the fashion house” donning the LBJ in their own style: from Yoko Ono, Alexa Chung and Sofia Coppola all balancing just the right combination of swagger and offhand chic, to Sarah Jessica Parker, Alice Dellal and Charlotte Gainsbourg conjuring up more rebellious monochromatic vibes. The body of work, which was styled by former French Vogue editor-in-chief Carine Roitfeld who also appears on the book’s cover, took Lagerfeld just a year to complete and highlights Chanel’s timeless legacy perfectly.

To add to the glamour, three of the subjects – actresses Anna Mouglalis and Astrid Bergès-Frisbey together with the singer Theophilus London – were also in attendance, making the viewing fabulously interactive, particularly when Anna Mouglalis and Astrid Bergès-Frisbey took to the dance floor, twirling and dipping in their couture confections. Above them, giant camellias and neon double C’s formed playful bouquets amidst balloons and glittering confetti. Meantime Theophilus London, whose photograph lends a masculine influence to the jacket, played a set late into the night.

The Little Black Jacket: Chanel's Classic Revisited by Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld is available through publishers Thames & Hudson in Australia.

The Little Black Jacket exhibition runs from October 27 to November 11, at Pier 2/3, 13 Hickson Road, Walsh Bay, Sydney.]]></description>

Despite the pouring rain, London's finest showed up to see the exhibition celebrating Chanel's iconic black jacket. Set over 4 rooms, The Little Black Jacket consists of 113 black and white photographs shot by Karl Lagerfeld and styled by Carine Roitfeld, featuring some of the best known – and some perhaps a little more unknown - faces from the world of fashion, design, art and music, each wearing the jacket in their own individual ways.

The design of the jacket may be decades old, but at the party last night, it proved to be as current and fashionable as ever, with many of the invitees proudly sporting their Chanel jackets. The youngest guest of the evening, actress Chloë Moretz, proved that even at just 15 years old, there is simply no age limit to being able to wear a true classic, as she wore hers with simple black trousers and crisp white shirt. Other famous faces included Eva Herzigova, Yasmin Le Bon, Poppy Delevigne, Tallulah Harlech, Bip Ling, Henry Holland, Laura Bailey, Zaha Hadid, Lou Doillon and Noomi Rapace, to name a few, as well as appearances by Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld.

Model Alice Dellal, with her trademark punk rock style considered a true London Girl, possibly embodies the versatility of the jacket the most. Wearing a simple white Chanel dress and jacket last night, her portrait in the exhibition personified just how this iconic piece always seems to adapt to the wearer. As she posed with her picture, her mother Andrea Dellal proudly looked at her daughter's picture and exclaimed: “See? A little black jacket works for everyone! There's never a bad way to wear it!”

And it's not just women who have been falling for Chanel's iconic jacket over the years, with many men featured in the show as well. Designer Haider Ackermann and actor Waris Ahluwalia, whose photographs are part of the exhibition, last night happily professed their love for the jacket.

The posters to take away proved to be a big hit with the guests, who queued to take home copies of the black and white photographs of Lily Donaldson, Georgia May Jagger and Astrid Bergès-Frisbey.

If there's one thing to learn from the Little Black Jacket, it is its timelessness and versatility. It simply seems to work for everyone – whatever your age, whatever your gender, whatever your style – a fact certainly visible both with the portraits as with the guests last night. A highlighted quote on a dark wall at the back of the exhibition explains its allure perfectly in just one sentence: “There are clothes which keep rejuvenating themselves instead of getting worn out.” The Little Black Jacket does exactly that. Go see it before it goes again!

With breezy, natural looks, unrestrained youth, mobility, understated luxury, empathy towards others and inventiveness, the show was a whimsical way to pass on a message for the fall of 2012: the winds of change are blowing with alternative energies and fresh new fashions!

Is Chanel poised to join American essayist Jeremy Rifkin, the third industrial revolution theorist who advocates for a low carbon economy?

The models walked the runway in looks flooded with fresh color: a purple pantsuit with a three-quarter sleeve jacket trimmed in emerald, a Klein blue suit and sack dress, a pink and mauve satin dress and pants ensemble, a crimson loose-fitting mid-length soft leather jacket, a sand-colored strapless washed lambskin micro-dress, and a stunning series of evening dresses in satiny brown with quilted effects that showcased transparency and fluidity.

The multi-colored version of the house's signature tweed (a textile “tour de force”) was an apotheosis of color, and looked absolutely stunning on a leg-o-mutton sleeve top and bubble dress ensemble trimmed in fuchsia. It was simply explosive with an ultra-colorful version used for a luxurious, striking shorts-jacket ensemble with puff sleeves, as well as a short loose-fitting dress with three-quarter sleeves embroidered with bronze sequins mid-thigh ("a strange golden bronze color," as Homer describes the island of Stromboli, Kingdom of Aeolus, in the Odyssey). Arrayed in an endless palette of summer colors, this tweed proved powerful in its visual impact.

Finally, white took to the runway with Peter Pan collars (a favorite of Gabrielle Chanel), Pierrot collars and a floppy bow on the front of a crewneck dress, as well as a tweed and white poplin polo dress, for an updated Suzanne Lenglen-at-Eden Roc look. White was also seen in the evening series with incredibly fresh and refined summer evening looks: white strapless dresses (two short and three long) in mesh or piqué, embellished with Rhodoid plastic flowers or pearls.

The silhouette for summer 2013 is long and slim (seen in Chanel's incredible use of black mesh for a pants set that is as elegant as it is graphic and sensual), and borders on androgynous, a classic attribute of the Chanel woman. Waists are cinched, perfect for strapless dresses (the highlight of this collection), mini-boleros and micro-jackets. Mile-long legs create symmetry and are showcased by micro-shorts and miniskirts while bubble dresses show off the ankles.

The collection's accessories are a perfect blend of timeless Chanel style and modernity: chunky, clustered "caviar effect" pearl bracelets and necklaces and oversized sun hats with transparent colored plastic brims.

Karl Lagerfeld has clearly designed and created a silhouette for a more youthful woman with greater impetuosity and sensuality who will be flawlessly carried by "a favorable gale, a fresh West Wind" (Homer) into summer.]]></description>

“Misia – who was so famous at the time that she was known throughout Paris by her first name – met Chanel in 1917.

This was an era when Misia was queen of the city, a muse who had reigned over artists since her youth, capricious and compelling, a law unto herself, with a court who paid heed to all her pronouncements. ‘What I admire in Misia is that joie de vivre always concealed behind a mask of ill-humour; that perfect poise, even in moments of despair,’ observed Paul Morand in his diary in April 1917. ‘And then Misia is Misia, someone with no equal and, as Proust says, a monument.’ As such, she had been painted by Renoir, Vuillard, Lautrec and Bonnard; inspired the poetry of Mallarmé, the prose of Proust, the music of Debussy and Ravel and the gossip of Cocteau and Picasso. A gifted pianist herself, Misia had sat on Liszt’s knee and performed Beethoven for him as a child. ‘Ah, if only I could play like that,’ he said, with his customary charm, and predicted a dazzling future for her; thereafter, Misia was taught the piano by Fauré, who regarded her as a prodigy. Her powerful position at the centre of the inner circle of Parisian art was consolidated by virtue of her close friendship with Serge Diaghilev, the director of the most sought-after ballet company in the world at that time, Ballets Russes. Chanel was 11 years younger, and not yet as socially pivotal in Parisian society, but Misia fell for her when they met at a dinner party at the home of Cécile Sorel, a glamorous French actress who was already a client at Rue Cambon.”


Justine Picardie is the author of five books, including her critically acclaimed memoir, If The Spirit Moves You, and her most recent novel Daphne. The former features director of Vogue, and editor of Observer magazine, she currently writes for several other newspapers and magazines, including the Times, Sunday Telegraph and Harper’s Bazaar.


Exhibition: Misia, reine de Paris. June 12th – September 9th at the musée d’Orsay, Paris.

The exhibition finds snug home at the Space Gallery, on the charming Hollywood Road, where it will stay from the 7th to 16th July. 


  Karl’s intimate black and white portraits hang on pale grey walls in the two-storey gallery nestled in the midst of an area known for art galleries, Chinese antique furniture stores and small independent boutiques. Just down the road is the famed 150-year-old Man Mo Temple. On the hot, balmy evening that ‘Little Black Jacket’ was unveiled, the city’s glitterati came out in full force for the event. The jacket might have been black but the crowd was certainly colourful. A newly blonde French actress Cecile Cassel flew into Hong Kong along with actress Elisa Sednaoui who sparkled in a plunging floor length dress. 


  Chinese movie star Tang Wei, fresh from multiple awards wins at Korean film festivals, came to the opening and pointed out her favourite from Lagerfeld’s over 100 portraits: a large scale print of 4 year old Scarlett Utzmann Huynh. The ever-stylish digital artist Yi Zhou also joined. Noted local faces at the gallery included famed songstress Joey Yung, Hong Kong’s most noted lyricist and style maker Wyman Wong and Hilary Tsui, boutique owner and fashion figure. They had all styled their own little black Chanel jackets to distinctive effect.


  Just as Karl Lagerfeld expresses the Mademoiselle’s fascination with Asia in inspired designs, so Asia’s fascination with Chanel continues to be still, ever strong. Celebrity make up artist Zing, who is an avid collector of modern and vintage Chanel jackets, was delighted to see the exhibit hit Hong Kong. Zing has been wearing little black Chanel jackets for years. And why not? The walls show Karl and Carine’s men don the garment in a nod to the men’s uniforms that originally inspired Mademoiselle’s aesthetic.&nbsp; 


  The Hong Kong skyline is one that comes alive after dark, and as the sun set on this vernissage, crowds hopped next door to the after party. Musician Choi Sai Ho entertained an eclectic crowd of VIPs.“ Fashion isn’t just present in dresses,” Coco Chanel once said. 

“Fashion is in the air, it’s borne by the wind, we sense it, we breathe it, it’s in the sky and on the tarmac, it’s everywhere, it comes from ideas, custom, events...” 


  Occasionally, the acuity of something new, like this exhibition, can touch on a sense of timelessness. And in fast paced Hong Kong, that is cause for celebration indeed.

  Revolution at the Palais! This breathtaking glass construction spanning 1 200 square meters was inaugurated at the World's Fair in 1900 (at that time, Coco Chanel was 17 years old, still boarding at Aubazine Cistercian Abbey in Corrèze, and was already highly skilled in needlework). The Salon d'Honneur at the Grand Palais had not been used for a hundred years and Karl Lagerfeld was rejoicing in the idea of revealing this hidden treasure, transformed for the event into a dreamy, watery urban garden. With white wicker armchairs, pale gray walls, anthracite paving, lemonade and canapés and the dappled trompe-l'œil sky on the ceiling, the atmosphere was a touch romantic, old-fashioned and marvelously civilized. The reappearance of a Proustian world, a Thomas Mann universe, a dreamland. 


  Adding another layer of refinement, the pink and gray colors of the collection were inspired by the palette of Marie Laurencin. Impossible to dissociate the collection from her works: La jeune femme à l’écharpe, La femme au foulard, Domenica or even Les Biches; the two last canvases are kept at the Musée de l'Orangerie. With the line's fluid, slender forms, the flurries of chiffon, this ethereal, delicate femininity, through which the androgyny so treasured by Coco Chanel cleverly avoids vapidity, is confirmation of a daring modernity.

What is this New Vintage, this oxymoron that amuses Karl Lagerfeld? 


  It is a way of expressing the historical nature of the House and the collection, recalling the first decade of the 1900s with style, a Peter Pan collar in white organza and a flared black velvet dress as a tribute to Colette; the 1920s is reflected with low-waists, narrow hips, clear lines, the love of lamé; the 60s with resolutely pop chromatic boldness, like a bubblegum pink color on a stunning suit, canary yellow; the 70s, full pants and puffed shirts with ascots, studded belts, low-slashed V-neck chic gypsy gandouras, bare backs cut down to the kidneys, extremely rare at Chanel; and the beginning of the glam-rock 80s is represented with glitter and pearlized pantyhose. 


  A succession of allusions in a magnificent, incredibly coherent collection, worth an oxymoron in these times of economic crisis: a luxuriously simple collection. Because though the silhouette is simple, free of ostentation or extravagance, free of jewelry or accessories, except for the long, ultra-fine leather cuffs – a foppish gothic touch – the materials and details are alarmingly opulent and luxurious.



Embroidery (ah, these sophisticated angora wool motifs, pearly-pink micro-tubes, rhinestone spinning tops, tiny clover flowers on tulle)! Gossamer compositions created by the plumassier Lemarié; from the almost invisible long white tulle coat embroidered with delicate feathers in heart designs, to the miraculous bridal gown with its feather skirt and high feather collar! Evening gowns are embroidered with virginal chiffon studded with pale pink camellias. Embroidered real and “faux” tweed with unparalleled softness, worked into gorgeous evening jackets with 3/4 length sleeves, in a black and white suit, and in a mat and shiny coat dress. Finally, blue-pink and gray-pink lamé, gradually sliding into blue towards a pomegranate sunset, from gray to a gloriously pink dawn, straight from the palette of... Marie Laurencin. 


  In 1922, two years before Laurencin painted her Biches, Marcel Proust died. “Fashions change, themselves born from the need to change”, as found in his "Within a Budding Grove"/"In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower”.


  Chanel and the New Vintage, or a journey through time!

"His name was Arthur Capel, but his friends called him Boy, in an Edwardian era when English gentleman were still able to celebrate their continuing freedoms long after had turned from boys to men. Boy's origins were swathed in romance, and he came to Paris amidst murmured speculation that he was connected in some mysterious way to the British aristocracy.


"In Pau I met an Englishman", Gabrielle Chanel said to Morand. "We made each other's acquaintance when we were out horse-trekking one day; we all lived on horseback." They drank wine together; it was young, intoxicating and quite unsual", and so was the Englishman. "The young man was handsome, very tanned and attractive. More than handsome, he was magnificent. I admired his nonchalance, and his green eyes. He rode bold and very powerful horses. I fell in love with him. I had never loved MB. "Yet at first, she and Capel did not speak. "Not a word was exchanged between this Englishman and me.


One day I heard he was leaving Pau. "She asked him to tell her the time he was travelling to Paris; no other conversation was necessary. "The following day, I was at the station. I climbed onto the train.""


Justine Picardie is the author of five books, including her critically acclaimed memoir, If The Spirit Moves You, and her most recent novel Daphne. The former features director of Vogue, and editor of Observer magazine, she currently writes for several other newspapers and magazines, including theTimes, Sunday Telegraph and Harper’s Bazaar.]]></description>

She lived in the Ritz, now there is a Jewelry shop, it’s very Paris, there are many photos of her on the place Vendôme. The big site of the Ritz is also still the Ritz, a part of the place Vendôme." Karl Lagerfeld


From the 1920s onwards, Mademoiselle Chanel refused to "settle down" and stayed at the Ritz Hotel occasionally before she decided in 1937 to move in and rent a suite on the third floor.


Place Vendôme was one of her sources of inspiration. The octagonal cap of her first perfume, Chanel N°5 recalls its geometry and proportions. Later on, the Première watch equally reminds of this aesthetic.


Today, directly facing her suite at the Ritz is the Chanel Fine Jewelry boutique which opened at number 18 in 1997.

I was interviewing him for a magazine profile at the time, but we ended up talking about the ghosts of the past, as well as the fashion of the future; and one of the intangible presences in the room was Coco Chanel herself. Her portrait still hangs above Lagerfeld’s desk in the Design Studio, her apartment remains preserved on the second floor, hidden behind the mirrored walls; and late at night, when rue Cambon is almost silent, you feel that if you were to turn round swiftly enough, you might just catch a glimpse of Mademoiselle Chanel herself. 
  
Once I had passed through those looking glass doors, into the extraordinary world on the other side of the mirrors, I knew that I wanted to discover more. Lagerfeld proved to be a wise guide in the maze that surrounded the legend of Coco Chanel, as did her close friend, Claude Delay, and her great-niece, Gabrielle Labrunie. I was also lucky enough to discover several private archives in England and Scotland that contained previously unseen photographs of Chanel, and a number of letters and diaries that gave surprising new insights into her life. In my search for the truth about this most elusive of women, I travelled from the abbey at Aubazine that contained clues to her childhood, to the remote Scottish Highlands where she had fished with the Duke of Westminster and Winston Churchill. 
  
When my book was finished – not that you can ever really come to a final conclusion with Chanel – there was yet another surprise to come. Monsieur Lagerfeld produced a treasure trove: a series of beautiful illustrations illuminating the enigma that is Coco Chanel, which became the starting point for this wonderful new edition of the book…Release dates:
France, March 24th, 2011

Only the most determined could still track down this collector.It is once again available in French published by “Éditions de la Martinière” and in English by “Abrams” in the United States and “Thames & Hudson” in England.In this book, art historian Jean Leymarie recounts the life of Coco Chanel and her work through the world of art. The text is accompanied by photos of Coco Chanel amidst the creations of Cocteau, Modigliani, Matisse, Renoir, Iribe, Doisneau, Marie Laurencin...
Toward the end of the 1910s, thanks to muse and benefactor Misia Sert, wife of painter José-Mari Sert, Gabrielle Chanel was introduced into the most avant-garde group of artists of the time. Jean Leymarie highlights the friendships that forged the life and style of Coco Chanel, from Picasso to Dali. "I always felt a solid sense of friendship toward Picasso. I believe that he felt the same way." (quote from Coco Chanel, p.70)Photo: the book "CHANEL" by Jean Leymarie photographed in Coco Chanel's apartment]]></description>

Her apartment at 31 rue Cambon had eight of them, which she freely used in ways other than for what they were intended — she dressed her walls with them, like wallpaper, or used them to give structure to her private space.
It is also said that she used them to hide the doors. That way, she was sure to keep her guests when receiving them for dinner.The Coromandel screens embody her taste for Chinese art, which she discovered together with Boy Capel. The Coromandel lacquer technique emerged at the end of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), in the Hunan province, in the heart of China. The major themes include mythology, scenes of imperial life and love of nature, which bestow a spiritual dimension upon the art form.]]></description>

It formed part of her private world: here scattered on Coromandel screens, it also appears in chandeliers or in bouquets with rock-crystal.
Prior to being the flower associated with demimondaines or dandies, the camellia symbolized purity and longevity in Asia. Gabrielle Chanel made it a symbol of her designs, featuring it here and there in every item of a woman’s wardrobe.]]></description>

Sitting on the table of her apartment are three vermeil boxes given to Gabrielle Chanel by the Duke.The metal which adorns them is less precious than the one concealed inside: a gold interior. It was thanks to the Duke of Westminster that Coco Chanel discovered this characteristic of luxury which she made her own: something which remains hidden, which exists only for oneself. This notion of luxury found an immediate echo in the fashion world because, according to Coco Chanel: ‘Elegance comes from being as beautiful inside as outside’.]]></description>

The photographer later confided that Mademoiselle Chanel was very pensive during this sitting, and attributed this mood to a love affair. But after the shoot, nobody knew what happened to the armchair. Karl Lagerfeld found it in an auction in Monte-Carlo in the 1980s, recognising it as precisely the one from Horst's photo. This is how the armchair returned to Gabrielle Chanel's apartment.Made by Chevigny, the great 18th century furniture maker, this particular armchair displays unusual proportions that are explained by its origin as a "half-bathtub", whose wooden panelling (intended as a water basin) was cut and transformed into an armchair covered with white satin. The bronze legs indicate the original presence of wheels, which would have allowed the bathtub to be moved from one room to another.]]></description>

She made it her lucky charm, like a subtle metaphor for creativity that never ends…In each room of the apartment, wheat makes an appearance: as a brass bouquet, in gilded wood on the sitting-room  fireplace, as gilded sheaves for a table leg, or even as a simple blade painted for Mademoiselle by Dali.Karl Lagerfeld in turn “sprinkled” ears of wheat throughout his Spring-Summer 2010 collection: showers of golden wheat ears were embroidered or cropped up on chain belts, bracelets, headbands, necklaces and shirt fronts.]]></description>

She even let her guests believe that it was made from solid gold. One day, as Parisian designer Hubert de Givenchy was having tea with Gabrielle Chanel in her apartment at 31 rue Cambon, he found a pendant that had fallen from the chandelier in the living room, and placed it delicately in the frog’s mouth. Mademoiselle Chanel decided to keep the frog with its crystal pendant.]]></description>

The lion became a timeless biographical seal on numerous of her  creations.  “August 19th is my birthday. I was born under the sign of Leo. I am a Leo and, like a lion, I use my claws to prevent people from doing me harm, but, believe me, I suffer more from scratching than from being scratched.” The lion is also the symbol of the city of Venice, most notably the lion at Saint Mark's Square, the protective emblem of Doge's Palace. Coco Chanel fell in love with the city when she went for the first time, a voyage made in attempt to ease the pain of the sudden death of her lover, Boy Capel, in December 1919.  Karl Lagerfeld has decided to go back to Venice to present the Cruise 2009/10 collection.]]></description>
