Karl Lagerfeld chooses Cara Delevingne as the face of the Spring-Summer 2016 CHANEL eyewear campaign.Shot by Karl himself, Cara sports a very urban and contemporary look in CHANEL AIRLINES Ready-to-Wear collection: a cap in tweed and plaited cotton, a tweed jacket and a sleeveless top with silver embroideries and finished with grosgrain ribbon bows.
In a world imbued with blues, as if in mid-air, the campaign reveals frames from the Plein Soleil and Bijou 2016 collections of an ultra-graphic, mirrored mask with a quilting effect engraved by laser.
The Plein Soleil 2016 collection revisits the two-tone – an emblematic House signature – and is inspired by tie-dye motifs. The colours subtly melt into the acetate, sliding progressively from black into blue on the cat-eye sunglasses, and from black into white on an oval optical. The Bijou 2016 eyewear collection draws inspiration from another CHANEL code: the camellia. The temples of the butterfly shaped sunglasses and a cat-eye optical are adorned with an abundance of camellias in metal and enamel.
