Shown in Cuba last May, the Cruise collection is now available in boutiques offering a boyishly feminine silhouette imbued with a youthful and sensual energy.

Inspired by the vibrant colours of Havana’s facades, with terribly feminine and fluid designs, the collection is composed of a multitude of propositions. The diaphanous skirts and dresses with their Cadillac prints whirl to the rhythm of salsa music, while knitwear is embroidered with parrots and foliage motifs, tops and skirts are adorned with multi-coloured stripes.

The little tweed jacket is invigorated with multi-coloured braid. A sharply cut spencer jacket and lavallière blouse in chiffon frame the extravagant volume of ruffled petticoats embellished with camellias and stylised leaves. Turquoise sequins with their festive vivacity shimmer and shine over an embroidered dress with a low-cut neckline.

To compliment this joyful dancing mood, the two-tone derby shoes make for easy movement and electrify day as much as night. Flap bags and fanny packs embroidered with reversible sequins perfectly accessorise the look.

Discover the 2016/17 Cruise Collection in CHANEL boutiques from November 14th 2016.
