Beneath the majestic glass roof of the Grand Palais, Karl Lagerfeld unveiled Chanel's Spring/Summer 2018 collection in a spectacular setting of cascading waterfalls. A grandiose staging for a season marked by fluidity and refinement, where aquatic hues – vibrant blues, subtle greens, and tangy pastels – mingle with luminous whites and iridescent fabrics.
This collection perfectly illustrates the Chanel spirit: structured silhouettes with strong shoulders, softened by airy cuts and delicate textures. Reimagined tweed, embroidered chiffon, flowing pleats, and intricate lace offer a wealth of materials that elevate each piece.
Among the standout pieces in this collection is a stunning multicolored lace dress, now available on Reench . This creation perfectly embodies the essence of the collection: a perfect balance between refinement and freshness.
An Exceptional Dress: When Lace Meets a Pastel Gradient
This pre-owned Chanel dress is distinguished by its subtle gradient of colors, transitioning from pure white to soft yellow, then to green and lagoon blue, evoking the reflections of water under the sun. Its delicate lace adds a touch of romance and femininity, while its flowing cut flatters the figure with natural elegance.
Worn on its own, it's perfect for a special occasion, a garden party, or a summer event. But for an even more sophisticated look, it pairs beautifully with a Chanel gray tweed jacket, as seen on the runway. This contrast between the structured texture of the tweed and the lightness of the lace adds an ultra-chic dimension to the ensemble.
The Art of Accessorizing
In this collection, Chanel played with bold accessories. Transparent PVC was omnipresent, appearing on everything from boots and hats to bags. To modernize this dress, it can be paired with a Plexiglas minaudière or a reimagined iconic bag, such as the Gabrielle bag in rubber or patent leather.
Pearl jewelry, layered sautoirs and sparkling cuffs complete the look, adding a touch of glamour without weighing down the silhouette.
