CHANEL Spring-Summer 2023 Haute Couture Unleashed A Stylised Bestiary

At the invitation of Virginie Viard, artist Xavier Veilhan meets the world of CHANEL Haute Couture once again, for the Spring-Summer 2023 show presented at the Grand Palais Éphémère in Paris.

For this show, the artist presents a stylised bestiary, freely inspired by the universe of the French luxury House and his own.

From Gabrielle Chanel’s Parisian apartment in the rue Cambon to a dreamlike bestiary from the mind of the artist Xavier Veilhan, glimpses of the CHANEL Spring-Summer 2023 Haute Couture collection imagined by Virginie Viard appear. The know-how of couture meets a fantastic and light-hearted imagination.

As if on a village square, the stage is set for a show. Created by artist Xavier Veilhan, eleven monumental animals made of wood, cardboard and paper reveal models one-by-one.

Top hat, bow tie, white gloves, laced boots, satin cape, pleated skirt, double-breasted jacket or with tails, tuxedo shirt, sequins, short shorts, petticoats: it is in the poetry of majorettes that Chanel Creative Director Virginie Viard draws the imagination of her Spring-Summer 2023 Haute Couture collection.

World’s First Luxury Beauty Humidifier with Photocatalyst Technology Uses High Purity Water For Moisturizing Skin

The Yuragi Junsui Premier is a luxury beauty humidifier uses a unique dual filter process to eliminate chlorine, converting water from hard to soft, ensuring clear, clean bacteria-free mist to moisturize and nourish skin.

@Kaltech Corporation Launches Yuragi Junsui Premier, World’s First Beauty Humidifier with Photocatalyst Technology at CES 2023

World’s First Beauty Humidifier with Photocatalyst Technology was launched at CES 2023.

Japanese technology company, Kaltech, which specializes in using photocatalytic technology to purify food, water and air, introduced its first luxury humidifier at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The Yuragi Junsui Premier, luxuriously designed and equipped with photocatalytic technology to remove impurities, will be available for sale in the U.S. in 2023.

Yuragi, which refers to the flickering blue photocatalytic light inside the humidifier lending a peaceful zen-like quality, is Kaltech’s first venture into the beauty realm. Utilized with tap water, not distilled water, the dual filter technology uses a unique cartridge to eliminate chlorine and minerals typically found in tap water. Once the chlorine and other harsh minerals are eliminated, the built-in photocatalytic plates keep the water accumulated in the tray clean and free of bacteria and other contaminants, eliminating the need for daily water changes and ensuring that only the purest water is used to moisturize and nourish the skin. A light slightly acidic mist is then sprayed from the atomizing attachment, ideal for healthy skin.

In a recent study, tap water passing through the Yuragi Junsui Premiere Beauty Humidifier was found to reduce viable bacteria by nearly 200% over a 14-day period. The flickering blue photocatalytic light creates a relaxing feeling that evokes a candle. The Yuragi Junsui Premier will be available in two sizes to serve as both a beauty humidifier and home humidifier.

Kaltech, the world leader in applied photocatalytic technology, dominated Japan’s photocatalytic air purifier industry during the Pandemic with a 40% market share. The introduction of the Yuragi humidifier marks Kaltech’s transition from air purification to water, and more broadly, continues to fulfill the company’s mission of providing solutions to one of the world’s most prominent issues: access to clean water and air.

Dakar – an influential artistic capital for 2023 Métiers d’art CHANEL

The city of Dakar was chosen as the location for the 2022/23 Métiers d’art CHANEL – DAKAR collection, following meetings over the past three years between Virginie Viard and friends of the French luxury brand who have either lived there, are carrying out artistic projects there, or who are drawn to the city’s creative effervescence.

An influential artistic capital on the international scene, particularly in fields dear to CHANEL, such as fashion, cinema, dance, literature, contemporary art and music, Dakar marks the beginning of an ongoing exchange between the luxury House and Senegal.

Against the majestic backdrop of Dakar’s former Palais de Justice, with its rhythmic columns and sunlit inner garden, the 2022/23 Métiers d’art CHANEL – DAKAR collection celebrated the spirit of the 1970s with silhouettes with vibrating colours and richly ornate embroideries of beads and sequins, Chanel’s textured tweeds and floral motives.

“It’s first and foremost a story of encounters,” says Bruno Pavlovsky, President of CHANEL SAS and of 𝘭𝘦19M, about the presentation of the Métiers d’art 2022/23 CHANEL – Dakar collection.

Imagined by Virginie Viard and crafted between the CHANEL Ready-to-Wear ateliers in Paris and the Maisons d’art of 𝘭𝘦19M, the 2022/23 Métiers d’art CHANEL – DAKAR collection is the result of multiple meetings over the past three years between Virginie Viard and artists of all backgrounds: the choreographer Dimitri Chamblas who called on Germaine Acogny’s École des Sables dancers, but also directors, musicians and writers, all together with friends of the House.

The show is part of a vast cultural programme and the starting point of an ongoing exchange between the luxury fashion House and Senegal.

On December 7th, 2022, the day after the show, the House organised a talk in Dakar’s former Palais de Justice, in Senegal, in front of an audience made up of pupils and students, artists and local and international guests. This discussion also brought together the ambassador of the House, Pharrell Williams, the architect and scenographer Mamy Tall, as well as several artists that collaborated with Virginie Viard on the artistic programme surrounding the show: choreographers Dimitri Chamblas and Germaine Acogny, founder of the École des Sables, and musician and rapper NIX.

Together, they discussed the artistic creation in Senegal and the transmission of savoir-faire.

Bruno Pavlovsky also evoked CHANEL’s approach and its first fashion show in West Africa, with a collection imagined by Virginie Viard which aims to pay tribute to the virtuosity of the CHANEL Maisons d’art.

It was also an opportunity to announce the first international exhibition of 𝘭𝘢 Galerie 𝘥𝘶 19M in Dakar, which will be held from January 12th to March 31st and designed by the scenographer Mamy Tall, at the heart of IFAN (Théodore Monod-Institut fondamental d’Afrique noire). The general public will be able to discover a series of initiatives in collaboration with Senegalese artists, craftsmen and cultural institutions.
