Chanel marks the last day of Paris Fashion Week FW 2024/25 and teleports everyone to Deauville, the sought-after Normandy location where Gabrielle Chanel, even before becoming Coco, opened her very first boutique. A dive into the designer’s youth relaxed and jovial atmospheres that also inspire the beauty look, made of pastel touches on the eyes, pink and glossy lips, camellias and bows in the hair.

Low tails, very French and easy to replicate, are held by one of the maison’s quintessential symbols, the black grosgrain bow with long ribbons. Alternatively, immaculate camellias that hold back their hair in the Normandy wind. Tres chic…
