Where Chanel goes, we follow. With The Reality Show No 3 we were spoiled by couture. But when we board our yachts and its just not practical to be swathed in sequins and hand embroidered gear, we opt for cruise.
Venice, Saint-Tropez, Cap d’Antibes and the palace of Versailles last season, Chanel chose the subtropical land of Singapore for the location of the 2013-14 cruise presentation. Shining bright right on the equator, the presentation featured a variety of resort looks, ranging from slouch trousers paired with drop shoulder knits and sporty ”cricket player“ looks for the day scene, to the feminine tweed ensembles and glamorous night gowns adorned with Lesage embroideries for evenings.
The key to the complete Chanel look-and to our lives in general- can’t go without accessories, such as the nude beige pumps with the heels embossed to resemble the texture of woven basket or threefold necklaces with irregular forms and colors of pearls.
Bag snobs will be obsessed with the straw-material or gold version of Boy Chanel, the new icon bag that first came out in 2011.
If you aim to be the queen of resort, you can’t miss the super exclusive piece-an acrylic bag modeled after the signature fragrance bottle.
This is all just a friendly reminder that cruise will hit the stores in November. Here are some photos from the recent resort exhibition in Tokyo, along with some of Karl’s photos from the lookbook printed on beautiful metallic paper.
