Chanel Debuts Cruise 23/24 Collection In Hollywood & Victoria’s Secret Announces the Victoria’s Secret World Tour, Africa Included

1. Chanel Debuts Cruise 23/24 Collection In Hollywood

According to Vogue Creative director of Chanel Viard didn’t look at the silver screen or the red carpet for inspiration with the new cruise collection, but to what appeared to be a more quotidian example of Los Angeles: the Venice Beach boardwalk, a see-and-be-seen playground for roller skaters, weightlifters, beach bunnies, and epic sunsets. “I thought let’s do Jane Fonda, Cindy Crawford—all our heroines,” she said at the “accessorization” of the collection a day before the show. “There are jeans, a more aerobic feeling; every show is the occasion to do something we’ve never done before.”

2. Victoria’s Secret reveals plans for The Victoria’s Secret World Tour

Gone are the day of bedazzled bras and colossal angel wings on the runway. Instead, Victoria’s Secret has announced its new focus, which fills the gap for a branded entertainment-meets-fashion spectacle that’s been vacant since the lingerie giant canceled its fashion show in 2019. The new endeavor, The Victoria’s Secret World Tour, is a behind-the-scenes feature film that follows 20 creatives (VS20) around the world. Said talents will spearhead four fashion curations from the cities of Bogota, Lagos, London, and Tokyo by conceptualizing, producing, and staging a collection they created, which they’ll then present alongside custom Victoria’s Secret designs in a filmed fashion show.

The global creatives featured within the VS20 include:

BOGOTA: Fashion designer Melissa Valdes. Filmmaker Cristina Sánchez Salamanca. Painter Lorena Torres. Dancer and choreographer Piscis. Musician Goyo.
LAGOS: Fashion Designer Bubu Ogisi. Filmmaker Korty. Artists Eloghosa Osunde, Ashley Okoli, and Wavy The Creator.
LONDON: Creative director and designer Supriya Lele. Filmmaker Margot Bowman. Artist and writer Ebun Sodipo. Lingerie designer Michaela Stark. Artist Phoebe Collings.
TOKYO: Fashion designer Jenny Fax. Filmmaker Umi Ishihara. Painter Kaito Itsuki. Body artist Aoi Yamada. Artist Kom-I.

Raúl Martinez, EVP and head creative director at Victoria’s Secret & Co, called it the “ultimate expression” of the Victoria’s Secret rebrand: “It will be driven by fashion, glamour, and entertainment with a nod to beloved iconography from the past but in a bold, redefined way. We are so honored to offer our platform and have it explored through the lens and artistry of global creatives who celebrate the individuality of women’s stories and perspectives.”

The documentary-length film is set to air in September—and the company said to expect something as show-stopping as the original runway format. Indeed, according to this Vogue piece, there might even be wings
