HISTORYGABRIELLE CHANEL AND THE GRAND DUKE OF RUSSIA
In 1920, Grand Duke Dimitri of Russia went into exile in Paris, carrying memories of the immense, snow-covered steppes and Byzantine art with him. Charmed by this world, which she discovered through the Ballets Russes, Mademoiselle adorned her creations with folk motifs and golden embroidery.
CUIR DE RUSSIE evokes this encounter through mysterious, smoky, woody accents.
