Under the majestic glass roof of the Grand Palais, Karl Lagerfeld unveiled Chanel's Spring-Summer 2018 collection in a spectacular waterfall setting. A grandiose setting for a season placed under the sign of fluidity and refinement, where aquatic hues - brilliant blues, subtle greens and acid pastels - mingle with luminous whites and iridescent materials.
This collection perfectly illustrates the Chanel spirit: structured silhouettes with assertive shoulders, softened by airy cuts and delicate textures. Tweed revisited, embroidered chiffon, vaporous pleats and worked lace offer a wealth of materials that sublimate each piece.
Among the highlights of this collection is a magnificent multicolored lace dress, now available on Reench. This creation alone embodies the essence of the collection: a perfect balance between refinement and freshness.
Une Robe d'Exception: When Lace Meets Pastel Gradient
This Chanel occasion dress is distinguished by its subtle gradation of colors, 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 romanticism and femininity, while its fluid cut sublimates the silhouette with natural elegance.
Worn on its own, it's perfect for a special occasion, garden party or summer event. But for an even more sophisticated look, it pairs wonderfully with a Chanel gray tweed jacket, as seen on the catwalk. The 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 on bold accessories. Transparent PVC was omnipresent, whether on boots, hats or bags. To modernize this dress, it can be paired with a Plexiglas minaudière or a revisited iconic bag, such as the Gabrielle bag in gum or patent leather.
Beaded jewels, layered necklaces and glittering cuffs complete the ensemble, adding a touch of glamour without weighing down the silhouette.
