THE 2024/25 MÉTIERS D'ART COLLECTION BY CHANEL

words by NATALIE GAL

From misty lakes to mysterious forests, Chanel brings us a collection that feels like it came straight from a dream. It's a vision where nature's meets high fashion, blending seamlessly together.

Lake Xihu was the perfect backdrop for Chanel's new pieces. The deep, rich designs are beautifully balanced with delicate embroidery. It's hard to decide whether to admire the stunning location or the clothes more – I say, let's do both! It feels like we've stepped into an ancient Chinese legend or a French fairytale, just waiting for fairies, dragons, and spirits to appear from the fog.

This collection is clearly a meeting point of two continents, two cultures, and many different eras that shaped these places. We see classic shapes and elegant evening wear with a modern touch. At the same time, it's unmistakably Chanel, with its signature black and white, and timeless, quality materials like satin and silk. Seeing icons like Tilda Swinton and Liu Wen represent the campaign only makes it even better.
