Chanel Resort 2012 Press Preview

Last week I attended the first Chanel Resort press day in London.
The collection was the first resort collection to be presented back in early May at the Hotel du Cap, in Antibes on the French Riviera.

I got a chance to see a few select pieces including Chanel bags, shoes, jewelry, jackets, the thong boots, beachwear, day dresses, evening wear and pear embellished gown which would be perfect for the red carpet or a Gala.
The accessories – as always – caught my eye. I was particularly taken with the mini black top handle bag along with the array of sequin clutches.
I keep marveling at the attention to detail. I loved all the embellishments such as pearls, sequins, floral appliqués and beaded details. They really add a lot to the selected pieces.
Pearl accented necklaces with the trademark logo draped on the mannequins along with fine jewelry including watches, rings, cuffs and bracelets.
The room perfectly captured the essence of the French Riviera with pebbles stones and sea blue deck chairs.
So far only Clemence Poesy and Kirsten Dunst have worn looks from this collection.
I would love to see that ivory backless dress on Cate Blanchett.
