Camellia Collection Story
Camellia is an Asian flower representing longevity and purity. Its pure white bloom totally charmed and inspired Mademoiselle Chanel. Besides being her favourite flower because of sentimental reasons,it also appealed to Coco’s taste. Pretty often she was wearing the flower pinned to her coat. According to Elle Magazine, the symbol of camellias originate (as flowers normally tend to do) from love: “Talk about love at first sight: Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel fell head over heels for the camellia after one was given to her by her polo-playing lover, Boy Capel. She started pinning silk versions to her lapels, her hair and the blossoms found a home on the black-and-gold-laquered Coromandel screens in her apartment at 31, rue Cambon.” Coco Chanel made Camellia as a symbol-inspiration of her designs, using it in every item of a woman’s wardrobe. Flowers have become a key symbol of the fashion house, present in clothing, accessories like the Chanel camellia glasses and even in Chanel skincare products for their hydrating quality. Still, in Chanel sunglasses and glasses collections, the camellia is used pretty often and charmes women by its purity and chic.Other CHANEL Icons
