Chanel Spring-Summer 2019

Written by Jahwanna Berglund

For Chanel’s SS19 collection, the house brought the beach to a chilly autumn Paris, Mr Lagerfeld invited us to this season's most photogenic and breathtaking scenery.

Stepping into the Grand Palais where the show was held was brimming with everything you can expect from an astounding seaside point of view, with seating facing a constructed ocean. This brilliant setting with genuine waves rolling in towards the audience was like stepping in to Chanel’s own private beach resort.

We were taken through a colorful collection showing us next season’s must-haves, including a large selection of beachwear. They showed us new shapes and new ways to carry the most classic bags as “side packs” carried in a duo. The so called minaudières of the season come in the shape of a beach ball and a sea shell in various colors.

Jewelery overload and parasol patterns were running like a red thread through the show. The models showed off wide legged trousers and jumpsuites in materials like tweed, lace and denim.

We got a small taste of one of the two new lines Chanel has introduced; The Coco Neige and Coco Beach, that Bruno Pavlovsky, the president of Chanel, announced earlier this year.
