Chanel Joy

The gold chain statement necklaces from the Chanel fall 2024 collection, inspired by the Deauville boardwalk where Gabrielle Chanel got her start as a milliner, are classic but fresh. The whole collection: chiffon flutters, giant turned-back hat brims, knitwear maxis, platform boots, pajama-like suits, and sunset colors - it just oozes retro languid glam. And these necklaces are a charming reminder of playing dress-up as a kid! Virginie Viard has taken the iconic faux-pearl Chanel necklace and updated it into something that manages to be both elegant and playful at the same time, in a way that particularly resonates with those of us who attended certain schools.
