On Thursday, June 23th, the first collection of Lucia Pica is called “Automne 2016. Le Rouge. Collection N°1” as it explores the abstract and expressive resonance red to reinvent its place in beauty.

I’m obsessed with the color red, I always have been. There is strength and emotion, warmth and intensity in the red. It is a color that evokes both the reality and the radical. the Red is such a strong color for me and it is so intrinsic to the world of CHANEL“, says Lucia Pica.

Lucia has worked on a series of images and film, exposed to Somerset House, to feed his creative approach to the collection, the process of thinking and emotional explorations of the red color.
