At the end of October, Chanel chose to show its La Pausa cruise collection once again, but this time in Bangkok, on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, a key element of the city they call the « Venice of the East ». The collection, shown for the first time last May at the Grand Palais in Paris, was a celebration of Coco Chanel’s iconic style. Little know that Gabrielle Chanel was in fact the first designer to host a cruise show in 1919, an occasion to present more flowy, light and comfortable pieces made to travel and get lost by the sea, a lake or crowded streets of a foreign city. As a marker between two opposite seasons, the cruise collection acts as a well-needed break.

Crash was invited to see the show and capture the collection in the amazing city of Bangkok. Discover the behind-the-scenes video of the photoshoot that you will be able to see in our December issue number 86.
