Taking inspiration from Provence, the picturesque region in the south of France, Designer Virginie Viard, the creative force behind Chanel, unveiled the brand's cruise collection.
The white limestone expanses of the Carrieres de Lumieres, a former quarry in the village of Les Baux-de-Provence, served as a monumental backdrop for the show.
