Fashion doesn’t work without the notions of temporary, new, the latest thing. This is how pre-collections have become an essential indicator of trends for the coming season. Far from the spectacular action on the runway, these intermediary lines have the advantage of presenting a brand’s quintessential style in a more intimate setting. When it comes to Chanel, it’s easy to understand the point of a collection like this. A tad more accessible and much more pragmatic, the new Pre-collection for Fall/Winter 2018 is a bridge between Spring/Summer 2017 and the season that will follow it.
“I’m like a fashion nymphomaniac who never reaches orgasm.” This is how Karl Lagerfeld explains his creativity. When viewing the Fall/Winter 2018 pre-collection, it’s apparent that the creative director for the house on rue Cambon is committed to introducing pieces inspired by his previous collections, but now more desirable than ever. For Spring/Summer 2017 Chanel women were able to sport a silvery two-tone ballerina flat with a black toe. This fall, another essential two-tone shoe is being released: a two-tone boot. These sharp-toed boots are made in a colorful suede with legendary black satin at the end. Available in beige, grey, black, green, red, and blue, their 8.5 cm heel makes them the perfect daily companion.
The proof is the campaign ad with Dutch model Luna Bill at the forefront. In the accessories department, the brand’s newest icon is also getting a new interpretation for the pre-collection. The Gabrielle bag with its timeless aesthetic and ease of use inspired by a men’s wardrobe is making a comeback in a new version that’s sure to be the “it bag” of this fall. With a binoculars case, the piece shines with its lines and stability. The latest object of desire from the double C brand practically becomes a collector’s piece when released in bright pop prints.
