- Chanel, the French fashion house, brought a touch of rock to the south of France, unveiling on Tuesday a mainly black and white collection of fringed, beaded and leather outfits for its 2021/2022 cruise line. Creative Chief Virginie Viard staged the catwalk presentation at a former quarry, the Carrières de Lumières, just below the picturesque perched village of Les Baux-de-Provence. Against the backdrop of the empty venue’s white limestone walls, models sashayed in graphic black and white dresses, printed tops and trousers as well as dungarees frayed at the bottom. The quarry was the set of the classic 1960 arthouse movie “Testament of Orpheus” by French author, playwright and artist Jean Cocteau, who was a friend of the fashion label’s founder Gabrielle Chanel.
