An exclusive collaboration that set tongues wagging in the fashion world.
The collaboration between Chanel and Pharrell Williams was a full-on surprise. Indeed, it brought together one of the greatest couture houses of all time which had been around since 1910, and a modern pop icon. At first glance, the two have absolutely nothing in common and yet a capsule collection came into being in April 2019. It actually has nothing to do with coincidence since Pharrell Williams was a long-standing friend of Karl Lagerfeld. He has even walked the runway for the brand on several occasions. The artist also became the ambassador of the legendary Gabrielle bag and designed a pair of trainers in 2017. The spirit of the capsule collection produced by Pharrell Williams and Chanel is above all modern and pop-inspired. The idea here was to reenergise the image of the illustrious house of couture which was over one hundred years old.
A collection of women's trainers rich in colour.
The capsule collection brought out by the singer and the world-famous brand included dozens of pieces, from shoes to accessories and clothing. The collaboration took liberties with the codes Chanel is known for. The trainers wore bright colours and the name Coco, the number 5 or the brand's logo was placed prominently on each pair like an elegant piece of graffiti. Dominating this line is a street art spirit topped with a sprinkling of humour. This is also the chance to see what comes out when you mix the worlds of fashion, luxury and hip hop together.
Vestiaire Collective, the opportunity to get hold of some highly sought-after pieces.
With this unexpected collaboration, the great House of Chanel brought delight to all the devotees of the label, who were seeking a wind of change and a little modernity. Women were given the chance to wear luxury pieces, revisited to suit the tastes of the moment and anchored in the trends of the here and now. What a stroke of genius! The capsule collection is one of the most highly-coveted in our section devoted to women's shoes. The collaboration was, however, behind other amazingly popular pieces:
