In a show inspired by the beauty of Monaco, Chanel&rsquo;s Cruise 2023 pieces are a unique blend of vintage glamor and motorsports wear.

For the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hxev4f3ZZq0" style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Cruise 2023 collection showcase</a>, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/chanel-fall-winter-2022-collection-virginie-viard-runway-photos-pfw" style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Chanel</a> headed to the azure beaches of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/sergio-tacchini-rolex-monte-carlo-masters" style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Monte Carlo</a> to bring a story of sporty summer wear that fuses nostalgia with modernity. With a trailer directed by <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/the-chanel-iconic-campaign-sofia-coppola" style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Sofia and Roman Coppola</a>, the cruise show pulled inspiration from late &lsquo;60s leisure, speed racing sports, and memories of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/art/sothebys-auction-karl-lagerfeld-gloves-cat-dishes-estate" style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Karl Lagerfeld</a>.
Chanel Creative Director <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/chanel-22-bag-numerology-virginie-viard">Virginie Viard</a> carefully selected the location in the C&ocirc;te d&rsquo;Azur for its connections to the late Lagerfeld and beautiful landscape of floral, fauna, and the sea. &ldquo;From very early on, I knew we would hold a show there, and more precisely at the Beach Hotel. Besides, Karl was dreaming about it. From this magnificent venue, one can glimpse his villa, La Vigie. I will never forget the times I spent there: terraces and balconies, big umbrellas, baskets of flowers - so much beauty,&rdquo; says Viard.
Chanel&rsquo;s collection was lively, flouncy, and offered a variety of styles to complement <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/marilyn-monroe-almost-married-prince-rainier-monaco-grace-kelly-husband">Monaco</a>&rsquo;s coastal lifestyle. Sleek coveralls, motocross prints, floral sequins, hot pink <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/chanel-tweed-bags-jacket-karl-lagerfeld-virginie-viard">tweed</a>, lacy sets, and silk suits demonstrated the various aspects of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/behind-the-scenes-chanel-spring-summer-2022-haute-couture">Chanel&rsquo;s</a> exuberant inspiration&mdash;and of course, the tennis racket bags, bold pendant jewelry, mini purses, and motorcycle helmets added to the fun. The pieces were also styled with black strappy satin shoes, a direct reference to the legacy of the Monte Carlo Ballet.&nbsp;
Though the looks were born out of the myriad inspiration held in Monte Carlo, the cruise wear can translate to any summery location. Opt for <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/chanel-metiers-d-art-2022-show-artisanal-history-virginie-viard">Chanel&rsquo;s</a> terry cloth jumpsuit by day and the deep blue sequin gown by night to suit all vacation activities and new memories.
