Chanel Cruise 2021-2022: A Real Time Reaction to Virginie Viard's Jean Cocteau Inspired show

Here is my live and unfiltered reaction to the Chanel Cruise 2021/22 show by Virginie Viard. The collection was presented in the south of France inside the white limestone Carrières de Lumières quarry located in the little village of Les Baux-de-Provence. The location of the show is a nod to the poet and playwright Jean Cocteau. He was a close friend of Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel and the quarry acted as a dramatic backdrop to his surrealist 1960 film “Testament of Orpheus”. This time the chiseled white stone walls acted as a stark counterpoint to Viard’s graphic black and white collection that blended punky rock and roll elements with slightly sweeter touches of guipure lace in the form of birds and a handful of watercolor patchwork pieces. Did the venue overpower the fashion? Did Viard go cuckoo for Cocteau? And why did Piccaso also have a role to play in the collection? You’ll have to watch the video to find out what I think. But do let me know in the comments below if you feel that Viard’s Chanel cruise show was hypnagogic or not? Yes...feel free to google that word ;) #CHANELCruise #CHANEL #CHANELShow #chanelcruise21 #JeanCocteau #JeanCocteauCommittee@Le19M #Le19M @MaisonDesrues #Desrues @Maison_Lemarie #MaisonLemarie @MaisonMichel #MaisonMichel @Lesage #Lesage @Goossens_Paris #Goossens @AtelierMontex #AtelierMontex @Vittoria @MahanyPery @MariamdeVinzelle @LoliBahiaa @St.einberg @VivienneRohner @LouisedeChevigny @Madeleine_Fs @PleunKeijsers @Metta.Irebe @Micarganar
