Karl Lagerfeld has chosen Academy Award nominated actress Margot Robbie, an ambassador of the House, to become the face of the campaign for CHANEL’s first Coco Neige collection, designed by the couturier for winter 2018/19.
CHANEL’s Coco Neige is a line dedicated to winter sports, the snow and après-ski. Combining a technical wardrobe and urban pieces, the collection explores the ski world with all the elegance of the CHANEL codes. Masculine/feminine inspirations, the work of tweed and leather, plus the quilting and the two-tone set the tone of the collection with its slender and sporty lines.
The advertising campaign shot by Karl Lagerfeld perfectly echoes this joyous and invigorating spirit, against a background of blue sky and clouds forming a décor one could imagine over the terrace of a chalet and peak tops. With her hair in childlike bunches blowing in the breeze, Margot Robbie is more mischievous and cheerful than ever. Curled up in a parka or a down jacket, warmed with a chapka, enveloped in a soft chunky sweater, the actress is visibly having fun on set. “This shoot was one of the greatest experiences of my career. The energy and vibe on set was so wonderful and collaborative. One of the first things Karl Lagerfeld said to me was that we never need to take ourselves too seriously. He has such a creative mind and he knows exactly what he wants and the minute he captured it, we were moving onto the next shot. It was amazing. Karl Lagerfeld is a creative mastermind. I already knew he was a genius but to be able to spend time with him in person, I now know he is also just a wonderful human being.”
Margot Robbie first became known to the public with her role in The Wolf of Wall Street by Martin Scorsese in 2013. She then went on to star in Focus, Suicide Squad and Tarzan. She was recently nominated for an Academy Award, Bafta and Golden Globe for her critically acclaimed performance in I, Tonya, a film she produced as well.

The Alexander McQueen Autumn/Winter 2018 campaign is set in mythical and free-spirited San Francisco.
This city provides a rich backdrop evocative of the beauty of nature, the importance of culture and contemporary society at its most evolved. Like the collection itself, the campaign is the embodiment of freedom of expression, drawing on themes of metamorphosis and the magical transformation of physical forms. The woman, dressed in softly armoured hybrids – one garment morphs into another - is at once respectful of and at one with her environment, appearing almost to emerge from it like a dazzling butterfly or moth.
Shanelle Nyasiase, Vittoria Ceretti and Rianne van Rompaey, all previous faces of Alexander McQueen – all characters - are photographed by Jamie Hawkesworth.

Since the launch of 24 Sèvres last June, the Parisian style address has offered over 180 designers across womenswear, beauty and, as recently as last month, fashion and fine jewelry.
Today, 24 Sèvres announces the launch of an exclusive capsule collection with historic brand Louis Vuitton. For this first collaboration, 5 iconic pieces have been reissued.
The famed Maison drew inspiration from the autumn/winter 2018-2019 collection, which celebrated the French woman. Referencing futuristic travel, with references from the past, present and future, her wardrobe is both chic and modern. This spirit was injected into the capsule as well, composed of one exclusive look created for the occasion. A black jersey dress is embellished with the house’s logo of the season; the iconic Cannes bag, reminiscent of a vanity case, as well the Bionic earrings and The Party sunglasses, have been reimagined in exclusive colorways. Perhaps most notably, the highly-demanded Archlight sneakers are released in a new color palette, adding the requisite touch of streetwear to the collaboration.
Maud Barrionuevo, 24 Sèvres Director of Buying & Merchandising, says : « This exclusive capsule is perfectly representative of the Louis Vuitton brand : it showcases commitment to its codes of excellence as well as the unexpected touch that is inherent to the Maison. These pieces are the perfect introduction to the fall/winter season. »
To illustrate this launch, an editorial series was produced in Paris with photographer Andrea Spotorno, who has previously collaborated with both Louis Vuitton and 24 Sèvres, and notably on the launch of Céline on 24sevres.com in March, for which an exclusive look inspired by the brand’s spring/summer 2018 collection had been created. Eric Goguey, Chief Executive of 24 Sèvres, adds : « As exclusive online partners of a historic brand like Louis Vuitton, we are very pleased to introduce this unique capsule collection to our customers, in addition to the selection we already offer. »

July, 11, 2018, Berlin - Roberto Cavalli Group announces the opening of its first German store in Berlin showing the new retail concept realized by creative director Paul Surridge.
Spanning a retail surface of 230 square meter (2,476-square-foot), the flagship is located on Berlin’s prestigious Kurfürstendamm shopping boulevard in the heart of the elegant Charlottenburg neighborhood and it carries a wide offering of the brand’s products. They include ready-to-wear and accessories for both men and women, shoes, bags, watches, fashion jewelry, eyewear, fragrances, home accessories and tableware. A special haute couture service is also available on appointment.
The airy, chic store featuring large windows spilling plenty of natural light is designed to welcome customers in a charming space where easily discover the brand’s modern and dynamic collections and, at the same time, enjoy an authentic Italian experience
“We are thrilled to open this store in Berlin, which is a dynamic and energetic city perfectly representing the new international and cosmopolitan spirit of the Roberto Cavalli fashion house,” said Roberto Cavalli chief executive officer Gian Giacomo Ferraris. “This flagship also marks the opening of a new retail market for us, Germany, which I think will be pivotal for the further expansion of the brand.”
THE NEW CONCEPT:
Roberto Cavalli Group unveils its new retail concept, conceived by creative director Paul Surridge.
Developed in collaboration with Milan-based interior design firm Rodrigo Izquierdo Design Studio, the new concept celebrates the Florentine roots of the luxury brand.
“With this new concept we really wanted to exalt and celebrate the Florentine roots of the Roberto Cavalli house,” said Paul Surridge, creative director of Roberto Cavalli Group. “Our goal was to create a modern and enjoyable space where customers could fully immerse themselves in a Tuscany-inspired environment, defined by a elegant purity of the shapes combined with the sumptuous richness of colors and materials.”
The choice of materials, hues and textures highlights the fashion house’s tight relationship with its native Tuscany, which inspired the sophisticated color combination and the timeless elegance of the architectural elements.
Echoing the sumptuous atmosphere of a Florentine palazzo, the rooms stand out with their precious marble floors and elegant vaulted ceilings.
A feminine and polished attitude is injected in the area dedicated to women’s ready to wear and accessories collections. Here, the smoky gray durmast oak floor is embellished with graphic marble intarsia, while the walls, which are covered with lime plaster, are decorated with red marble with white veins.
The men’s area, carrying both ready-to-wear and accessories, features a more masculine vibe with the wooden floor enriched with gray marble intarsia and red and gray marble matched on the walls.
Inspired by the purity defining the architecture of the Tuscan Renaissance, the freestanding furniture pieces show clean and linear silhouettes. The geometric display counters, crafted from hammered brass with an intriguing tactile effect, reveal spherical bases, while the brushed brass tracks are enriched by interwoven leather inspired by the handrails of antique palazzos.
Balancing the overall sense of lightness infused in the space, statement sofas and armchairs, with a sculptural appeal, reveal curved shapes, while the center of each room is highlighted by a group of three cylindrical gold pendant lamps.
“With the debut of this new store concept, which clearly reflects the new direction of our luxury brand, we can finally say to have the right tools to communicate our vision and values, as well as to interact with our final clients in the most effective and precise way,” said Gian Giacomo Ferraris. “The store concept, along with the runways shows, the advertising campaigns and our digital activities, are all parts of an organic communication strategy that we defined with our creative director Paul Surridge in order to affirm the modern and straightforward vision of the Roberto Cavalli house.”
