LUXURY BEACHWEAR The new jackets are trimmed by Mokuba (one of Chanel’s major trim suppliers) and made from their signature cashmere-soft bamboo terry cloth. Attention to detail is as always priority number one and no expenses are spared or corners cut in the supply chain and packaging process. The campaign for this new collection was inspired by a social experiment that Dali (a frequent visitor of the Côte d’Azur). A bunch of good looking normal people were congregated for a Saturday brunch, where free flowing wine and whiskey got everyone warmed up to one another. During lunch, each person was given an outrageous character to play, which was written prior to the shoot. With the guests buzzing and playing into the character pieces a series of activities naturally unfolded. Some went to play racquetball by the pool, others got thrown into the pool, some decided to play the traditional French game “pétanque”. The photographers were inconspicuous as to allow the gestures and emotions to be entirely natural. Issue 44 2020 The Art of Luxury 95
