The La Metamorphose 2021 bridal capsule collection explores the hidden and mysterious nature of women. The designers were inspired by the “Balsamic Moon” — the moon of the prophets and prophetesses, and which has the power to stimulate the imagination.

Designed for traveling light and meant for those holiday escapes hopefully filled with fantasy and freedom. It’s a collection that’s relaxed and easy-to-wear, one that meant to be mixed and matched and can even be transformed according to the collection notes: long skirts become strapless dresses when pulled up, long jackets in black chiffon can be worn by day over a triangle bikini, or by night with an embroidered bandeau top and jeans.
“Initially I had Capri in mind, where the show was supposed to take place, but didn’t happen in the end because of lockdown,” says Virginie Viard, “So we had to adapt: not only did we decide to use fabrics that we already had, but the collection, more generally, evolved towards a trip around the Mediterranean… The islands, the scent of the eucalyptus, the pink shades of the bougainvillea.”
The Chanel Cruise Collection 2020/21 is relaxed, yet refined simplicity. It is a collection filled with classic Chanel details infused with a holiday mindset. There’s also a beautiful blending of casual, flared denim trousers with sophisticated Chanel floral prints. To see more, visit chanel.com [/x_text][/x_column][/x_row][/x_section]
