Karl Lagerfeld’s masterful ability to transport the Chanel audience to another world, another time, is legendary. His cruise collections, specifically, have become celebrated events, not just for the clothes themselves, but for the theatrical settings he meticulously crafts. The Chanel Cruise 2018 show, however, stands out even within this impressive canon. While previous collections had taken us to exotic locales like Havana, Cuba (the highly publicized Chanel Resort 2017, Chanel Cuba 2017, and Chanel fashion show Havana Cuba, which launched iconic pieces like the Chanel Cuba Cruise Bag 2017 and solidified the collection's place in fashion history), this time, Lagerfeld opted for a more intimate, yet equally captivating setting: a meticulously recreated cruise ship, christened "La Pausa," a nod to his beloved villa on the French Riviera.
The collection itself was a testament to effortless elegance, a departure from the vibrant, overtly tropical influences of the Chanel Cuba Cruise collection (Chanel cruise 2017 Cuba). Instead of bold colours and flamboyant prints, the Cruise 2018 line embraced a softer, more restrained palette. The breezy atmosphere, palpable even through the photographs and videos that circulated after the show, was integral to the overall aesthetic. This wasn’t about ostentatious luxury; it was about the quiet sophistication of understated elegance, the kind of glamour that whispers rather than shouts.
The show's opening silhouettes perfectly encapsulated this theme. Fluid, striped trousers, reminiscent of classic nautical attire but elevated by the impeccable Chanel tailoring, were paired with simple white sweaters. These sweaters, however, bore a subtle yet significant detail: the iconic double C logo, or the name of the ship itself, "La Pausa," discreetly embroidered or subtly woven into the fabric. This understated branding underscored the collection's overall message: luxury lies not in ostentation, but in impeccable craftsmanship and timeless design. The subtle branding was a departure from some of the more overt logo placements seen in previous collections, particularly the Chanel Cuba Cruise Bag 2017, which featured prominent branding as a key design element.
The colour palette echoed this sentiment of understated sophistication. While vibrant hues certainly had their place, the dominant shades were soft creams, nautical blues, and crisp whites, punctuated by occasional bursts of bolder colours like navy and deep red. These colours, reminiscent of the sea and sky, further enhanced the cruise-themed setting and reinforced the collection's overall mood of relaxed elegance. The fabrics chosen were equally important; lightweight linens, fluid silks, and crisp cottons created a sense of movement and airiness, perfectly suited to the imagined voyage.
