Chanel’s ‘Haute Joaillerie Sport Collection’ is a cerebral divination masterminded by Chanel’s Director of Fine Jewelry, Patrice Leguéreau. Designed for over five years to source priceless Kashmir Sapphire, Chanel’s ‘High Jewelry Sport Collection’ is an ode to the elegance of movement and Coco Chanel herself.
In 1912, Coco Chanel opened her first boutique in Deauville, France - selling at her storefront a line of sportswear from 1913 onward. In the seaside city of Deauville, Coco employed the use of ‘masculine’ Jersey material to produce boutique pieces of sportswear that doubled as wispy dresses. During early 1900’s France, Jersey material was exclusive to the construction of men’s undergarments - never before conceptualized through Coco’s vision of design. Her inventive approach to revolutionizing female interaction with controversial fabric forged a new genre of fashion - making her Jersey dress creations synonymous with feminine liberation. And though a century has passed since Coco Chanel integrated principles of breathable resplendence into her pioneering philosophy - Chanel continues to reign supreme, honoring its originative pillars of imperial innovation. The release of Chanel’s ‘Haute Joaillerie Sport Collection’ captures the everlasting impact made by transcendental design concepts given pulse.
On June 27th - culture icon, Lori Harvey, announced Chanel’s new ‘Haute Joaillerie Sport Collection’ through a series of alluring portrait shots via Instagram - unveiling her opulent experience amongst the contour of dancing Chanel diamonds. Writing history, ‘The Graphic Line Necklace’ is a genesis piece of jewelry inscribed with the ‘Chanel’ name on the front-facing side of the necklace, mimicked on the reverse side that kisses the collar bone. Its design ingenuity is a remnant of The Belle Époque, set with a 10.15-carat cushion-cut sapphire sourced from the rarest of Kashmiri Stones. Kashmir Sapphire is the pre-historic gemstone found within the chambers of the Himalayan Mountains; known across eons as one of the world’s most rare elements to possess.
