CHANEL: La Modernité de l’Antiquité

A pastel sky at dusk reflected in the outline of a pale blue sea makes up the décor composed by Karl Lagerfeld as the setting for the CHANEL 2017/18 Cruise Collection campaign, La Modernité de l’Antiquité.

Against this backdrop that transcends time, imbued with a gentle serenity, Marine Vacth slips into shepherdess dresses made from tweed in tones of ochre and stone. Zipped or crossed-over, they are fastened by a simple tweed cord tied with metal rings. The actress appears goddess-like in a sculptural dress in immaculate crepe with a wide waistband embroidered entirely from sequins to echo the aspect of marble. The fluting of columns melts into a jumpsuit in silk jersey and a pleated minaudière in gold leather. Crowns of gold leaves mix with double C’s over a dress and a robe in printed jersey.

An admirer of the ancient world, Karl Lagerfeld conveys with Marine Vacth his vision of the ideal Greece whose silhouette and elegance of fluid lines are in perfect harmony with the spirit and the look of CHANEL.
