One hundred years ago, Coco Chanel 鈥 the designer revered for her elegance and modern approach to fashion 鈥 opened her couture atelier in Paris. Celebrating the milestone, 糖心vlog安卓版 Detroit looks to the French fashion house鈥檚 latest couture collection to inspire a timeless garden party.
Floral Fantasies
Chanel鈥檚 2018 couture collection debuted in a lush, garden setting. Held under the glass roof of the Grand Palais in Paris, rows of florals and greenery lined the runway. Closer to home, create a Coco-approved arrangement using locally grown peonies, roses, and camellias. The latter is rumored to have been the late designer鈥檚 favorite flower. Silver mercury glass vases give seasonal centerpieces a vintage feel.
To the Nines
Models clad in architectural silhouettes strutted down the runway in Chanel鈥檚 Haute Couture collection. Embroidered with floral appliqu茅s, the styles further enforce the brand鈥檚 mastery of couture 鈥 made-to-measure fashion that can take hundreds of hours to create. As hostess of your own garden party, take a cue from these feminine but strong masterpieces with your attire, opting for a sophisticated headpiece or structured dress.
鈥淔ashion is not simply a matter of clothes. Fashion is in the air, born upon the wind. One intuits it. It is in the sky and on the road.鈥
鈥 Coco Chanel
The Scene
Whether planning an intimate backyard wedding dinner, a baby shower, or an end-of-summer soir茅e, choose linens in shades of pale pink and blue when decorating your tables. Like the couture collection, hints of neutral colors like silver, black, and white, add a contemporary touch to an otherwise delicate aesthetic. Dainty dishware is then ideal for displaying fruits and jams, cheese, finger sandwiches, and pastries.
鈥淎 woman can be over-dressed but never over-elegant.鈥
鈥 Coco Chanel
Tea Time
Drawing inspiration from opulent Parisian caf茅s, allow guests to sip piping hot brews poured from an antique teapot or French Press. Metro Detroit鈥檚 own Intu Tea offers fine options for tea-drinkers and fresh roasts from Eastern Market鈥檚 Germack Coffee are suitable for coffee buffs. Handpainted teacups and saucers adorned with delicate pastel blossoms are the perfect vessels for seasonal blends.
