Chanel, the renowned luxury fashion house, has recently collaborated with the film “Barbie,” directed by Greta Gerwig, to create five exclusive looks for the movie. This collaboration has contributed to the growing trend of candy pink references in the fashion industry, and Chanel has embraced this trend wholeheartedly.
Under the guidance of creative director Virginie Viard, Chanel worked closely with the film’s costume designer, Jacqueline Durran, to carefully select pieces from their Ready-to-Wear, Coco Beach, and Coco Neige collections. The collection comprises a range of clothing, jewelry, bags, and accessories, all adorned in pastel hues. Additionally, the collection includes a few iconic archival pieces, such as a tweed suit made famous by Claudia Schiffer in the 1990s.
Chanel’s participation in “Barbie” aligns perfectly with their ongoing dedication to the world of cinema. As part of their Chanel and Cinema initiative, the brand has been actively involved in numerous film projects. This has included engaging in recorded conversations during the Cannes Film Festival and partnering with Maïwenn’s film “Jeanne du Barry,” wherein Chanel created six costumes inspired by 18th-century silhouettes. Furthermore, Chanel served as the exclusive provider of makeup and accessories from their High Jewelry collections for “Barbie.”
The fashion house describes “Barbie” as an ambitious, humorous, and imaginative film that fearlessly addresses current topics. Chanel appreciates the unconventional nature of the movie and asserts its commitment to supporting creative endeavors within the film industry. By participating in such projects, Chanel emphasizes its dedication to both the world of fashion and cinema.
