The venue, the Grand Palais, was the place where the love story between Gabrielle Chanel and her beloved boyfriend, Boy Capel, began. A Beaux-Arts-style train station was recreated, inviting guests on an imaginary journey.
Based on a vibrant color palette that includes Chanel's iconic colors of black, ecru, and white, as well as pink, green, blue, fuchsia, mauve, mocha brown, navy, and cobalt blue, the collection features slim long dresses lavishly embroidered with floral motifs, sequined bustiers, and other dazzling details that evoke the image of a garden filled with blooming camellias passing by a train window.
