The show was hosted at the Hôtel du Cap along the coast in Antibes, on Monday evening, followed by a film by Karl Lagerfeld. The exquisite white satin gowns on the catwalk - evocative of Twenties and Thirties Riviera glamour, American heiresses and British aristocrats - appeared again in Lagerfeld's movie, which featured a tangle of beautiful people (including several Chanel models) in a Cap d'Antibes mansion.
The Chanel Website describes the show:
The collection was magnificently defined from the outset: less “young in the sixties” than the 2010/11 Saint-Tropez Cruise collection, Karl Lagerfeld wanted this Cruise collection to be very feminine, very sexy, and very glamorous, loaded with references to the mythology of the French Riviera in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, yet unhampered by nostalgia. Nostalgia is the enemy of movement. The focus was placed on daffodil-yellow and purple fitted tailored suits that feel like a second skin, accentuated by wonderful neo-Japanese futuristic boots cut out around the toes. This created long silhouettes and a contemporary look!
