Paris, Venice, Saint-Moritz, from the Riviera to the long island, their lives resemble a rhythmic journey.
Through dinners, balls, concerts, vernissages and artistic thrills.
At the heart of a mingling world of aristocrats, bourgeois and socialites, poets, choreographers, dancers and musicians, the Café Society is a permanent Happening, a cosmopolitan club that sails from cruises to vacations, from Parisian salons to Mediterranean palaces, In search of a beauty that shakes up certainties, through parties as much as photographic performances and scrapbooks, it reveals an aesthetic nourished by audacity and eccentricity, in rebellion against puritanical and bourgeois conventions.
The ” CAFÉ SOCIETY ” collection from CHANEL JOAILLERIE celebrates this “TOUT PARIS À L’ÉCHELLE”.
INTERNATIONAL” as defined by Philippe Jullian. The imitation of reality and the reproduction of the past are opposed by the royal road of the singular, the unforeseen, the grace of inspired dreams.
Without nostalgia, and freed from all classical references to icons, Chanel’s Café Society collection is in turn a manifesto. The most brilliant illustration of this haute bohème, curious about new forms, radiant with elegance and originality, of which Gabrielle Chanel, “the exterminating angel of nineteenth-century style” according to Paul Morand, was one of the protagonists, free to live, to create, to wing it, warding off boredom with the quest for beauty.
The geometry of the avant-garde and the cosmopolitan tempo, the sense of purity and the daring quest for beauty.
White gold, black spinels and diamonds: The “Jazz” set unfurls in pure, architectural marquetry.
“Smoking” redesigns a frieze of diamonds and rock crystal, rounded squares held together by rings of light.
“Sunrise” cuts golden sunbeams and highlights them with a red lague, punctuated here and there with diamonds, like touches of audacity and transgression. The imposing “Café Society” pendant vibrates with an interlacing of primary colors. Sapphires, garnets and cut spinels create weightless mobiles.
Long necklaces, bibs, brooches or head jewels, the lightness of the lines gives way to the euphoria of 3D construction games, against a backdrop of sets that magnify elective affinities, like words of wisdom turned into jewels. All the audacity of creation unfolds in these unprecedented combinations of stones and cuts.
