Chanel’s cruise collection presents an expectation-defying view of the Mediterranean metropolis
, American food journalist M.F.K. Fisher spends the first 20 pages justifying why she feels so comfortable in a city that – many people will be happy to tell you – should make you feel uncomfortable. She ends this opening chapter with a quote from a letter written by the literary figure Madame de Sévigné in 1672:
“Marseille is a city that puts me in touch with my emotions. I tried to capture its power of attraction, its breath of fresh air, and to convey the energy that reigns there,” noted outgoing Chanel creative director Virginie Viard in the show details for the brand’s latest cruise collection, which was presented in the city in May.
Returning in October to photograph the collection, we found ourselves south of the city’s hustle and bustle in the small port of Malmousque. Its shoreline is lined with overturned boats that sit below locals commuting along narrow paths that hug the cliffs. The 19th century Pavillon de la Reine Jeanne towers over the sea like a lighthouse and houses the Alexis Pentcheff Gallery, which specializes in paintings that bring focus to the vivacity of its locale.
