Chanel’s latest high jewelry collection, Reach for the Stars, debuted in Kyoto, harmonizing the maison’s signature motifs with exquisite craftsmanship and luxurious materials.
This collection honors the late Patrice Leguéreau, whose 15-year tenure as Chanel’s high jewelry designer culminates in this radiant farewell.
Drawing inspiration from Japanese culture and iconic Chanel symbols, the collection features intricate diamond-studded lions—an homage to Coco Chanel’s astrological sign and a motif echoed in Kyoto’s temple art.
Shooting stars and starbursts recall Chanel’s 1932 high jewelry debut, while the new wing motif, showcased in diamond-encrusted necklaces, brooches, and tiaras, introduces a fresh celestial narrative.
The centerpiece, a grand Wings of Chanel necklace, boasts a breathtaking 19.55-carat Padparadscha pink sapphire, exemplifying the brand’s dedication to rare, vibrant gemstones.
This collection not only celebrates Chanel’s enduring elegance and attention to detail but also marks a poignant transition as Matthieu Blazy steps in as the new artistic director, poised to usher the house into its next era of innovation.
