If Chanel Had to Hug Deauville For Fall 2024, Why Not Celebrate the French Resistance?

July 11, 2024/ Anne Enke

Deauville, a charming seaside town in Normandy, France, holds a special place in the history of fashion as the birthplace of modern Chanel fashion. It was here in 1913 that Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel opened her first boutique outside Paris. Deauville's affluent visitors and relaxed atmosphere provided the perfect backdrop for Chanel to revolutionize women's fashion.

Coco Chanel introduced a new aesthetic that embraced simplicity, comfort, and elegance — with menswear and the lives of men being a key psychological component in Chanel’s approach to fashion design for ‘liberated’, wealthy women.

Leisure as a signature of wealth surrounded Coco in her observations of Deauville's elite vacationers.

Cover model Felice Noordhoff morphs into a sensual supermodel composite, in an exclusive Dolce & Gabbana fashion story for Vogue Netherlands September 2023. Noordhoff is styled by Michael Philouze under fashion director Linda Gumus Gerritsen.

Photographers Luigi & Iango [IG] capture Felice in advance of their upcoming ‘Unveiled’ show at Palazzo Reale in Milan from September 22th to November 26th, 2023.

Believe it or not, this is the first solo exhibion of the work of the Italian Luigi Murenu [who gave me major encouragement so long ago, I doubt he even remembers] and his Swiss partner Iango Henzi.

They express an honest, sensual intimacy in their images, speaking with a unique devotion to rebellious and fierce women committed to change and challenge to social norms.

Kate Moss Covers Vogue Russia December 2021, Lensed by Luigi & Iango AOC Fashion

Supermodel Kate Moss expresses her ‘je ne sais quoi’ vibe, commanding our attention, in her Vogue Russia December 2021 cover story. Michael Philouze styles Kate in what VR’s IG says is a jewelry editorial. We missed it entirely, captured in in the dense fog of Moss’s sultry vibe.

I’m not sure that this editorial succeeds in showing us how to turn a rebellious look into a luxurious one — we’re not seeing it. But Kate Moss shot by Luigi and Iango [IG] is a hit just about any day, anywhere in the world and in any magazine./ Hair by Luigi Murenu; makeup by Georgi Sandev
