In 2017, CHANEL celebrates Gabrielle, the birth name of its creator, better known as Coco Chanel. Karl Lagerfeld dedicates a bag to him, the GABRIELLE of CHANEL, which he created last October for the Spring / Summer 2017 collection. La Maison will also launch a perfume called GABRIELLE CHANEL in the autumn of 2017.
Chapter 18: Gabrielle: a rebel at heart: “I decided who I wanted to be, and that’s what I am.”
With Gabrielle, women discover a “luxury that is not seen,” they prefer the simplicity of a black dress, the comfort and elegance of a jacket or a tweed suit. They cut their hair and can finally move, releasing their gestures from the clasps of a bag, which since then can be carried in bandolier, hanging from a chain. They tan in the sun, are perfumed with N ° 5, the fragrance “of woman with the aroma of woman”. They blends their diamonds with fancy pearls. They have fun, ride horses, ski, breathe and smile at life.
Choose audacity, desire beauty, be one; More than ever, Gabrielle is much more than a name: it is an incitement that invites all women to perform, to have faith in what they are and to follow their own voice.
To go through the door of Inside Chanel is to understand more than a simple history of fashion, perfumes or high jewelry. It is to go to the heart of the origins of the creation of the Maison CHANEL, discover a vision of anticipation turned into a timeless attitude, immerse yourself in the life of a rebellious woman, who revolutionized the codes of her time and who continues to be a source of inspiration for Women today.
The first video of this tetralogy, Gabrielle: a rebel at heart, will be broadcast from February 22, 2017.
