Chanel Fine Jewellery takes inspiration from the feather for a line of pieces so exquisite we’d fly all the way to space to catch them. Chanel’s SS20 makeup collection will send you straight into the summer fun we’ve all been waiting for.
Long has the symbol of the feather pervaded the Chanel world. Sumptuous, plush and evoking that freedom of spirit so entrenched in the House, the recurring motif has been used and represented in a myriad of ways over the years — Gabrielle Chanel herself celebrated her first magazine cover in 1910 wearing a hat plumed with coloured feathers. So it’s unsurprising that the feather has also infiltrated the jewellery sphere throughout the decades, interpreted lovingly into earrings, rings and necklaces — pieces that have always inspired certain emotions: love, confidence, delight — but now also freedom. Perfectly capturing the audacious spirit of CHANEL Fine Jewellery, whether you wear the pieces to a glamorous party or to lounge around in your own front room, they’re sure to elevate the occasion. For a softer look, opt for the delicate Plume Drop earrings or Plume ring; and if you’re looking to make a bolder statement, the glistening Plume necklace is a must. With that said, for 2020 we’re manifesting our entrance to a standing ovation, wearing no less than all of the pieces at once. Either way, we’ll be sure to be taking Gabrielle Chanel’s advice into consideration: “if you were born without wings, do nothing to prevent them from sprouting.”

After months of dark skies and wet rain, spring is finally upon us. Now that the days are getting longer and a faint sliver of heat is settling in, it’s the perfect time to warm up your makeup palette. Don’t worry if you’re not sure the London weather will get better though — we know it’s likely not going to — but Chanel’s new makeup collection, inspired by earthy tones and desert heat, is sure to take you straight into the summer. To find inspiration for the Spring Summer 2020 collection, Global Creative Makeup and Color Designer Lucia Pica took a trip to the centre of the desert, where she discovered a range of mysterious shades, translating into a new range of products characterised by peachy rose tones, cool browns and romantic mauve undercurrents. If, like us, you’re also desperate for a way to look a little more sun-kissed after a long winter, look no further than the new Baume Essentiel. The Multi-Use Glow Stick, which comes in a rich, bronzy caramel shade, secures the healthy glow we’ve been missing all year. For a sultrier look, the Stylos Ombre et Contour can either be used to line the lids or blended into a creamy base for eye shades, which come in four new hues. Paired with their vibrant new lip colours, we’re already feeling prepped and primed for a summer holiday, even if we’re stuck in the city.
