Chanel jet-sets across the Mediterranean Sea with the “FLYING CLOUD” Collection.
Chanel’s eponymous founder Gabrielle Chanel, was famous for her rebellious actions when it comes to women’s fashion and her revolutionary mix of accessories with fine jewellery; however, till this day there are still many things to be discovered about the infamous muse, especially when it comes to launching Chanel’s high jewellery collection.
This year, Chanel’s new jewellery range- Flying Cloud, is purely inspired by Gabrielle’s love for the deep blue sea and the resort lifestyle the comes with it. Named after the second Duke of Westminster’s yacht, Hugh Grosvenor, the founder spent many summer days onboard the Flying Cloud a four-mast, black-hulled, white-decked yacht with a 40-member crew.“Luxury is a necessity that begins where necessity ends,” the designer once said.
Lovers for a decade, the Duke was known to be one of the most influential and dearest to Gabrielle’s heart, and it only seemed natural for Chanel to create an entire collection inspired by the memories the two lovers carried across the French Riviera.
