Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel deeply believed in the power of a talisman and has shaped her destiny based on symbols that have since become iconic. It’s been said she surrounded herself with objects that gave her the freedom to achieve her dreams and inspiration for the designs of her collections.
These themes so dear to the designer are getting a special treatment with the launch of reimagined highlighters in the Les Symboles de Chanel collection. Le Lion, La Comete, Les Perles, and Les Chaines are crafted in four subtle and sophisticated shades like warm gold, precious coral and pearly white. These stunning trinkets offer a sparkling shimmer designed to luminate and enhance the complexation and can be purchased at Aventura Mall’s Chanel Fragrance & Beauty boutique.
Le Camelia Oversize Illuminating Powder
Camelia. Harmony Symbol. The flower that adorned the lapel of the jacket worn by Dandy, became the Chanel emblem for Gabrielle in 1913. It has been incorporated into the various creations she has worked on, and it is still blooming beautifully in her work. Its beauty is exactly that of a rose without thorns. A camelia that never loses its leaves and draws perfect symmetry. It embodies the tranquil and timeless beauty of harmony.
La Comet Oversize Illuminating Powder
Comet. Good Luck Symbol. “I want to wrap women in shining constellations.” So said Gabrielle Chanel, in 1932, when she presented the first and only High Her jewelry collection with celestial motifs. She placed her hopes on her stars and was always was surrounded by her lucky charms. It also hung on the wall of her apartment and guided her through life.
La Chaine Oversize Illuminating Powder
Chain. Dress Symbol. Inspired by the straps of bags used by soldiers, Chanel broke the rules of the times by attaching chains to handbags to free women’s hands. The chain secretly sewn on the back of the Chanel jacket is also the secret to creating a beautiful silhouette of the jacket. A chain symbolizes a style that no one else can imitate and is an integral part of the Maison’s legacy.
Le Lion Oversize Illuminating Powder
Lion. Symbol of strength. The lion is also the constellation of Gabrielle Chanel. The brilliance and solitary personality she emitted is exactly the incarnation of a lion. The lion is also a symbol of Venice, the city beloved by Coco. Lions are a true source of inspiration and give strength and pride to those who wear it.
Les Perles Oversize Illuminating Powder
Coco Chanel wore pearls boldly and freely. The pearl, which combines warmth and sparkle, illuminates the wearer’s skin and awakens the inner radiance. The powder has a light texture and gives the skin a natural pearl luster and brightens the skin, bringing a three-dimensional effect to the face.
