THE LATEST CHANEL SKIS

PRECIOUS WOOD

Skiing has always been a part of Chanel collections. In the 20's, Mademoiselle Chanel began to take an interest in female
skiers' clothes and created a range of matching outfits for the elegant women of Saint Moritz.

It was for the 2000/01 Fall-Winter Ready-to-Wear show that Karl Lagerfeld stunned us all with the launch of the first complete
Chanel ski collection. Recently, the designer had also created black quilted skis. This season, the new parabolic skis are more
classic, made from precious wood combined with carbon fiber.

THE CHANEL FISHING KIT

A LOVE STORY

An original CHANEL stamped fishing kit, with its quilted leather case and double C flies: without a doubt the most unexpected
fall 2008 accessory offered by Karl Lagerfeld to fishing lovers. It fits naturally into the history of the fashion house, echoing
Mademoiselle Chanel's passions. She was one of the first women to take on horse riding, dancing and golf, and started
creating "sporty" pieces for her collections as early as the twenties. [ More ]
