Alright, so the Chanel Resort 2025 collection just made its appearance, and you know me, I always gotta take a look. It’s become a bit of a ritual, this whole process of seeing what these big houses are cooking up. Not that I’m flying out to Marseille, mind you, but I do my homework.
My Dive into the Collection
So, what I did was, I set aside some time, got comfy, and really went through the looks. I mean, I clicked through every photo I could find, watched the show video – the whole nine yards. It’s my way of “attending,” I guess. You gotta really look, you know? Not just glance. I try to see the details, the fabrics, how things move. That’s my practice with these things.
First impressions? Well, it was Chanel. No big shocker there. You got your tweeds, your chains, that classic silhouette they always lean on. But this time, things felt a bit… different, maybe? Or maybe I’m just looking for something new.
What Caught My Eye – The Good and The “Hmm”
There were definitely pieces that made me nod. Like, “Okay, I see what they’re doing there.” But then, as always, there were a few that just made me go, “Huh?”
- The Vibe: They were going for that breezy, South of France, easy living thing. The location was stunning, can’t deny that. It helped set the mood.
- The Clothes: Some of the simpler, more relaxed stuff actually looked pretty wearable. Think flowy dresses, some nice knitwear. I appreciate that. But then you had some super embellished pieces, almost costume-like. Those always lose me a bit. Who’s actually wearing a sequined bathing suit with a giant hat to the beach?
- The Styling: Lots of layers, which can be cool, but sometimes it just looked a bit… much. Like they were trying to cram every Chanel trope into one outfit. Less is more, sometimes, you know?
- The Accessories: This is where they always get you, isn’t it? The bags, the shoes, the jewelry. Some were interesting, some were just more of the same with a new twist. They know people buy this stuff.
It Just Gets Me Thinking…
You know, looking at all this reminds me of something. A few years back, I was thinking about luxury, what it even means. I wasn’t even looking at clothes, but at cars. I was at this super high-end dealership, just browsing, not really intending to buy. And the salesman, he was so polished, so smooth, talking about heritage and craftsmanship. But it all felt so… transactional. Like the passion was gone, replaced by a sales script.
And I kinda get that same feeling watching these big fashion shows sometimes. Chanel has this incredible history, this legacy. And you see glimpses of it. But then you also see the massive commercial machine behind it. It’s a spectacle, a performance. And I always wonder, how much of it is truly about the art of fashion, and how much is just about keeping the machine well-oiled and spitting out product?
So yeah, that’s my take on the Chanel Resort 2025. Some nice bits, some predictable bits, and a whole lot of that big brand gloss. It’s interesting to watch, to dissect, but I always take it with a grain of salt. It’s part of the game, I suppose. Just sharing what went through my head as I was checking it all out.
