It was under the sign of Jean Cocteau that Virginie Viard began to think about the CHANEL Cruise 2021/22 collection:&nbsp;&quot;Because Gabrielle Chanel was close to Cocteau, and I love the film&nbsp;Testament of Orpheus.&nbsp;In particular this magnificent scene: a man with a black horse&#39;s head descends into the Carri&egrave;res de Lumi&egrave;res, his silhouette cut out against the very white walls&quot;.&nbsp;Destination: the Carri&egrave;res de Lumi&egrave;res, in Les Baux-de-Provence, for a highly graphic show,&nbsp;&quot;because the simplicity, the precision and the poetry of Cocteau&#39;s film made me want to create a very clean collection, with a very distinct two-tone, made up of bright white and deep black&quot;.

Nothing better to capture and reflect the light, so loved by Cocteau and Chanel, than these contrasts between the radiant whiteness of a long shirt-dress and black macram&eacute; capes, between a white tweed jacket embroidered with lucky charms and a black dress in velvet and leather.&nbsp;&quot;Echoing the extreme modernity of Cocteau&#39;s film, I wanted something quite rock. Lots of fringes, in leather, beads and sequins, t-shirts bearing the face of the model Lola Nicon like a rock star, worn with tweed suits trimmed with wide braids, and pointed silver Mary-Janes. A look that recalls as much the modernity of the sixties as that of punk...&quot;.

"It is Chanel, the woman, that I love more and more: her life gives us access to characters just as extraordinary as herself."

It was in Gabrielle Chanel&#39;s recently restored apartment at 31 rue Cambon that Inez &amp; Vinoodh photographed six outfits for the press kit.&nbsp;&quot;Because it was there that Gabrielle Chanel housed her favourite bestiary, her lions, female sphinxes, but also deer, which are printed, along with other symbols of the House, on a long negligee-style dress in pink-beige and black cr&ecirc;pe. It was also in this apartment that she received her close friends, including Jean Cocteau,&quot;&nbsp;concludes Virginie Viard.&nbsp;&quot;Ultimately, through her friendships, it is Chanel, the woman, that I love more and more: her life gives us access to characters just as extraordinary as herself.&rdquo;
