Chanel Unveils Glamorous Sport High Jewellery Collection in Monaco
SHARE
Picture this: Monte-Carlo, Monaco—where high rollers, supercars, and jaw-dropping jewellery converge. The occasion? The dazzling launch of Chanel’s Haute Joaillerie Sport collection, a nod to Mademoiselle Chanel’s sporty-chic style. And we can assure you, it’s a match made in luxury heaven.
Why Monaco? Well, it’s the land of the glamorous Monaco Grand Prix, where adrenaline meets elegance. The inspiration behind this collection? All things sports, from tennis wristbands to championship rings, and even the stripes seen on racing jackets. It’s like Coco Chanel herself stepped onto the track, ready to win the style race.
The setting was equally enchanting. Guests were whisked away to the legendary Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, where they marveled at the 80-piece collection. Imagine a mini Chanel stadium—white umpire chairs, locker room vibes, and all. The high jewellery necklaces, rings, earrings, and brooches were displayed like trophies, each piece a testament to Chanel’s craftsmanship and creativity.
Now, let’s talk about the collection itself. Patrice Leguéreau, the director of the Chanel Jewelry Creation Studio, masterminded this gem. He’s the genius who turned No. 5 perfume into high jewellery, and now he’s weaving sports magic. Coco Chanel’s sporty spirit shines through—she borrowed from the boys, championed jersey fabric, and embraced comfort. She rode horses, played polo, and swung golf clubs. So, it’s no surprise that this collection sits, moves, and transforms with the body—an extension of her design philosophy.
The six movements within the collection are pure elegance in motion:
1. Sweater Sport: Cozy yet chic, just like your favorite cashmere pullover.
2. Graphic Line: Bold lines and geometric shapes that playfully dance.
3. Chanel Print: A tribute to the iconic double-C logo, etched in diamonds.
4. Quilted Icons: Classic quilting meets high jewellery—timeless and exquisite.
5. Sporty 5: A nod to Chanel’s athletic side, with a touch of glam.
6. Gold Slider: Carbon fiber, quick-release clasps, and pure luxury.
So, next time you’re in Monaco, channel your inner Coco and sport some Chanel sparkle. Whether you’re courtside or cruising in a supercar, this collection is your winning ticket.
