Angèle, the talented Belgian singer, has been collaborating with the renowned fashion house, Chanel, since 2020. The fashion brand has gone above and beyond by designing the stage costumes for Angèle’s current tour and taking center stage in her latest music video. Everywhere you look on the Nonante-Cinq Tour, you can’t miss the unmistakable Chanel signature – from the long tweed coat to the oversized necklace and chic chain bag.
In Angèle’s latest music video for her song “Libre,” taken from her album “Nonante-Cinq” (Ninety-Five), directed by Aube Perrie, the singer explores the streets of New York, portraying various roles such as a city dweller, astronaut, and superhero. This provided the perfect opportunity for Angèle to embody her role as a Chanel ambassador, a position she has proudly held for over two years.
To make this collaboration even more special, Virginie Viard, the artistic director of Chanel, has personally designed custom-made stage outfits for the young artist. In close collaboration with Angèle herself, around twelve unique looks were created specifically for the tour, which kicked off just a few days ago. What makes these outfits even more meaningful is that some of them were inspired by the iconic Chanel Spring-Summer 1995 Ready-to-Wear collection, paying homage not only to the album’s name but also to Angèle’s birth year.
It’s refreshing to see fashion houses like Chanel and Christian Dior embracing the music industry and creating bespoke stage costumes for artists. Just last month, Christian Dior unveiled the stage costumes for French rapper Orelsan, showcasing the brand’s craftsmanship and attention to detail. The fashion world and music industry continue to blur the lines, creating exciting collaborations that enhance the overall aesthetic and storytelling of artists’ work.
