Last week’s been monumentally chilly, at least by Singapore’s weather standards. But as the resistant drizzle and sniffle-inducing winds past us for a familiar sun, we’re finding ourselves trading off our insulant hoodies and fuzzy sweatpants for summerier options from our closets to broadcast our moods while effectively powering through the villainous humidity. We’ve checked out CHANEL’s SS18 shimmery adornments and Valentino’s SS18 dazzling magpies, but CHANEL’s just released their latest campaign video for their SS18 pre-collection to impressively facilitate our wardrobe’s 22 to 30°C climatic transition.
French model Camille Hurel plays a girl on-the-go, casually clipping on a fabulous pair of octagon frame diamond double C earrings that spring livelily as she bobs her head and strapping a floral-embellished pastel pink set of fingerless gloves, a la Harley Davidson meets Legally Blonde. Camille’s perfectly permed do-up cascades luxuriously soaring like a kite in the sky above a park on a windy afternoon credit to the gigantic studio fan on right in front of her; we certainly hope to recreate that look in real life, but we reckon no amount of brisk walking could even touch Camille’s effortlessness.
Leather’s not the friendliest material to pull off (we instantly think of piping hot car seats and sweaty BDSM, don’t judge). Here, however, are a skirt and midi dress that look sexy without being suffocating. There’s also a biker jacket quilted to pair with our favourite CHANEL bags when caring about the latest trends becomes a conundrum. Don’t think this collection lets you off easy though — those two-tone clogs will give you a run for your style. Otherwise, invest in the obvious star of the collection: the traffic-cone orange runners that exuberate the joie de vivre of Spring-Summer.
Speaking of trends, casual suiting’s become quite a hot favourite on the SS18 runways from comical MSGM to avant-garde Craig Green (not that CHANEL cares), and we’re kind of digging the tweed mini skirts and cut-offs that then makes it okay to wear a fitted blazer to match. Styled quirkily over a sequin mini dress or with our existing workwear are style tips we know we’ll emulate, but again those clearly versatile runners look great ankle strap on or off to inject some youth into repurposed tailoring we revisit the French house every season for.
CHANEL’s SS18 pre-collection launches today in all Singapore boutiques.
