Perhaps this is an era that has passed away, and it is also an era that people remember. Time reminds us to remember the pioneers who represent the times, and also casts the fashion elements that represent the classics. On February 19th, Chanel Art Director Karl Lagerfeld died in Paris. He was a master with a steady stream of creativity and a strong personal style. Since he worked for Chanel in 1983, he has injected new vitality into many classic elements, which includes the Camellia that Ms. Chanel loves. It used to appear as a man’s boutonniere, and it has now become a classic design that can be worn by both men and women. Chanel released new 1.5-grade jewelry inspired by camellia at Paris Fashion Week in January 2019. Although Karl Lagerfeld was absent from the show, it did not affect Chanel’s classic re-enactment.

The fragrance-free and thorn-free camellia has always been one of the most well-known symbols in Chanel jewelry. For Ms. Chanel, she likes it in a distinctive white color, which is in harmony with her famous black dress, which was also a popular dress at the time.

Chanel 1.5 high-end jewelry was exhibited at the Paris Haute Couture Fashion Show in January 2019, which consists of 50 works that all based on the camellia loved by Ms. Chanel. I believe that many people will find it somewhat confusing when they see the names of this series. Why is there no shadow of camellia? In fact, the mystery of 1 and 5 is to express “one camellia, five temptations”, which is to say that many jewels can be made in five different ways to wear it.

The 1.5 High Jewelry continues the easy-to-wear and ever-changing design pursued by Chanel, which develops the functionality of the jewelry so that it is no longer single and can be worn on different parts of the body. This collection is mainly embellished with diamonds and is complemented by different colored gemstones such as pink sapphires, rubies, rose gold and pink quartz.


Since convertibility is one of the keys to Chanel jewelry, 23 of the 50 works in the 1.5 series are convertible. For example, by removing the petals of the ring, the Rouge Tentation ring can display spinel alone, and diamond petals can be added to increase the size of jewelry.

Every once in a while, the classic elements of Chanel will re-enter the new jewelry. Just like Lafayette’s fashion influence into the DNA of Chanel.
