Laura Bailey Instagram – ‘In order to tempt us to go out, the street must be as joyous as sky blue..’. Gabrielle Chanel.
Introducing the J12 Bleu.
The familiarity of my forever J12 but in a new BLEU, seductive & sporty,
enigmatic & radiant as the light shifts.
Extraordinary craftsmanship & the ‘art of ceramic’ ~
only CHANEL.
An exclusive intense matte blue, five years in the making ..’ I wanted a blue that has a rigorous elegance, a blue that is nearly black, or a black that is nearly blue.’.
Arnaud Chastaingt (Director of the CHANEL Watchmaking Creation Studio).
An attraction to clarity & a sense of potential ( & refusal) as expressed by one of my favourite artists , Louise Bourgeois-
“The color blue means you have left the drabness of day-to-day reality to be transported into … a world of freedom where you can say what you like and what you don’t like.”
Blue is forever a part of the iconic Chanel palette ~ from Deauville inspired sailor stripes & boyish tweeds to the midnight navy sapphires of my favourite ear-rings. Deep rooted codes & connections travelling through time , now telling time. Blue is the colour of memory & melancholy, of storms & mountains, of my daughter’s eyes & faded denim, ice & bruises, of iris & forget-me-nots. And of every new dawn. True BLEU.
