Chanel doesn’t go for the obvious with their Cruise 2022 collection. We’re trading big floppy hats and non-descript floral prints for fishnet and fringe.

Chanel doesn’t lean too far away from their house codes; the classic tweed Chanel suit is featured alongside the pearl motif in the form of draped belts. Of course, there’s a mini skirt for every mood.

The color story represents Chanel’s classic minimalism, with black and white carrying the collection forward. Instead of seeming demure, Chanel’s Cruise collection feels punk. From the models’ heavy side part to the graphic tees and fishnet, there is a decided attitude to this particular collection. Just look at the garter belt they turned into a little purse.

Inspired by friend of Coco Chanel Jean Cocteau’s play, “Orpheus” which deals with themes of mortality, sacrifice, and artistry, it makes sense that the collection carry an undercurrent of grunge. Drawings from the Orpheus feature on some of the T- Shirts.

The Best Behind the Scenes Photos From Chanel’s Cruise 2022 Show in the South of France

Lip rings, fishnets, chain-link garters—you’ll find them all in Chanel’s cruise 2022 collection. Staged in in Les Baux-de-Provence and debuting online today, the show marks what may be the house’s last virtual event, for the time being. Chanel currently has plans to host a presentation with guests for creative director Virginie Viard’s haute couture collection in July. Style du Monde photographer Acielle was in the south of France to document the show and get a closer look at the collection behind the scenes; scroll through all of her photos here, and find more of our coverage on Vogue Runway.

Chanel Does Its Own Version of Warped Tour Style

Up until very recently, thinking about what to wear in the made-up fashion season of “Resort 2022” or “Cruise 2022” would have felt almost inconceivable. For so long, we’ve hardly been able to imagine the next week or month of our lives, let alone ponder getting dressed a year from now — and on a potential vacation no less. But on Tuesday, Chanel offered its own vision of the future and allowed us to dream a little.

Oddly, as a number of people have pointed out, this future vacation looks a little something like Warped Tour, the rock-music festival hosted by Vans starting in the mid-’90s. Chanel’s official references were, of course, more highbrow. Designer Virginie Viard said she wanted to do something “quite rock” and drew inspiration from the films of Jean Cocteau (a friend of Coco Chanel’s), specifically Testament of Orpheus from 1962.

In a press release, Viard listed some of the elements of the look: “Lots of fringes, in leather, beads and sequins, t-shirts bearing the face of the model Lola Nicon like a rock star, worn with tweed suits trimmed with wide braids, and pointed silver Mary-Janes.” There were plenty of fishnet tights as well, plus lip rings and studs. It is “a look that recalls as much the modernity of the sixties as that of punk,” per the statement — although there’s definitely some late ’90s in there too.

The show itself took place in Provence, the sunny region in the south of France. Specifically, it was set inside the Carrières de Lumières (French for “Quarries of Light”) in Les Baux, which is where Testament of Orpheus was filmed. The angular caves, which created their own puzzle of sun and shadow, provided a fitting backdrop for the black-and-white collection, which itself was a juxtaposition of light and dark.

Recently, Elle predicted that a pop-punk-girl summer was on the horizon, and the prophecy appears to be taking shape before our eyes. See for yourself by watching the full Chanel Cruise 2022 show below.
