Sea-Inspired Fashion Runways

CHANEL's 2018/19 Collection Embraces the Luxurious Cruise Lifestyle

For its 2018/19 collection, luxe label CHANEL releases a range of sea-inspired fashion ensembles that honor its founder's historic love for travel. Debuting in Paris, the set design embraced the theme entirety, featuring a sizable cruise ship, named La Pausa.

The sea-inspired fashion is effortlessly luxurious, breezy and sophisticated. The silhouettes boast that signature CHANEL art deco look. The palette is exquisitely arranged to not overwhelm and instead eases the eye into the relaxed summer vibes that are usually characteristic of luxurious cruise ship holidays.

Thanks to the artistic touch and groundbreaking vision of Karl Lagerfeld, Cruisewear is making a return to the fashion scene, flaunting its own identity, carefree attitude and unbelievable elegance.
