Chanel Paris-Shanghai 2010 Handcraft Series

Since 2002, the series of Chanel's advanced handicrafts designed by Karl Lagerfeld has been based on the theme of the city. Following Paris, Tokyo, New York, Monaco, London and Moscow, Shanghai is the 8th series. Although Ms. Chanel will be in China in the future, she is very enamored of Chinese art. Chanel houses Chinese antiques such as ebony-embedded screens and porcelain. Karl Lagerfeld has always been full of longing for Shanghai. In an interview with the media, he said that Shanghai is full of mystery for him, and “Shanghai women”, “Chinese style clothing” and “Wu Wu screens. "The wait for the symbol is the key word that he sketched Shanghai in his heart. Karl Lagerfeld's exclusive collection of exclusive designs for the Shanghai Peninsula Boutique has launched chiffon shirts with printed patterns." Camellia brooch and chiffon shawl, these three pieces are inspired by the Chinese ebony lacquer screen that Coco Chanel loves.

The interpretation of the Shanghai style is dominated by black, and the gorgeous Chinese red and the lucky emerald green are also the colors. The classic tweed suit is matched with the Chinese style Fengxian collar and the oblique placket. In addition, a shoulder pad suit and a hat, which resembles a padded jacket, are exquisitely interpreted by the black feathers of the Lemarie feather workshop.
