Chanel Unveils ‘Reach for the Stars' High Jewellery Collection Honouring Iconic Symbols and Gabrielle Chanel's Legacy

Long before logos became shorthand for luxury, Gabrielle Chanel filled her world with emblems of deep meaning. Faux pearls – once dismissed as improper for elegant women – were worn in bold defiance of convention. The camellia, which she admired for its resilience and simplicity, became an immortal house code, appearing on the lacquered screens in her Rue Cambon apartment. These symbols continue to surface across the Chanel universe, from couture to accessories and beauty. Now, in the house's ­latest high jewellery offering, Reach for the Stars, it is the lion, comet and, introduced for the first time, wings that are reimagined as contemporary icons of the maison. These motifs are transformed into extraordinary pieces of jewellery that speak to Chanel's heritage and future. The 109-piece collection (90 debuting this year) honours the brand's legacy while marking a final curtain call for its late fine jewellery director, Patrice Leguéreau. 'It is indeed a great tribute to him. Over the years, he constantly pushed the boundaries and elevated Chanel fine ­jewellery to new heights, playing masterfully with the house's codes and symbols,' says Dorothée Saintville, international product marketing director of watches and fine ­jewellery at Chanel. First seen in Gabrielle Chanel's ­revolutionary 1932 Bijoux de Diamants line, the comet stood for freedom – representing women charting their own path. An ideology that feels just as relevant today. ­Mademoiselle Chanel ­created pieces without clasps, designed to flow effortlessly, ­reflecting her belief that jewellery should follow – not restrict – a woman's movement. We see the comet in a new light in Reach for the Stars, where it is conceived as a symbol of Chanel's take on ­glamour. In the Blazing Star set, it is elongated in fine gold and onyx, while the Dazzling Star choker features tw o ­diamond pendants that instantly draw the eye to the neckline. 'These ­symbols, part of Gabrielle Chanel's universe, never cease to evolve through time. They stay the same but are always different. Thanks to new ­specific attributes, they incarnate the proper spirit of each collection,' adds Saintville.

6 times a luxury bag stole the show in a TV series

2. Bridget's Burberry Tote in 'Succession' When Tom Wambsgans derides Bridget's enormous Burberry tote as a 'ludicrously capacious bag' in Succession Season 4, it becomes one of the show's most quotable lines—and a cutting example of how fashion choices function as social litmus tests. The checkered Burberry design, once a hallmark of early-2000s aspirational style, is read here as dated and outsized. The bag's size and branding mark Bridget as someone new to wealth, unfamiliar with the codes of quiet luxury. In a show obsessed with class signals and status missteps, the bag becomes an efficient symbol of exclusion, its scale mocked not for utility but for its lack of subtlety. 3. Emily Cooper's Peter & James Atelier Butterfly Bag 'Emily in Paris' In Season 3 of Emily in Paris , Emily Cooper is seen carrying a sculptural Butterfly bag by Peter & James Atelier, a Paris-based brand known for its unconventional shapes and architectural designs. The bag, with its exaggerated curves and matte finish, stands out even among her often eccentric outfits. Unlike legacy fashion houses featured throughout the series, this piece reflects Emily's embrace of bold, visually arresting accessories over heritage classics. The bag serves less as a status symbol than a conversation starter—fitting for a character who thrives on visibility and disruption. 4. Rory Gilmore's Hermès Birkin in 'Gilmore Girls' In Season 6, Logan gives Rory a Hermès Birkin, a gesture that's both lavish and telling. At the time, the Birkin was already established as one of the most recognisable luxury bags in popular culture, known for its scarcity, high price tag and long waitlists. Rory's initial unfamiliarity with the bag highlights the social gap between her and Logan's world. Her acceptance of it marks a shift—from someone navigating privilege from the outside to someone beginning to benefit from it. The moment underscores the tension between her middle-class background and the elite circles she's starting to move in. 5. Blair Waldorf's Lady Dior in 'Gossip Girl' Blair's wardrobe in Gossip Girl was curated with precision, and her Lady Dior bag was no exception. The quilted cannage stitching and top-handle silhouette suited her preference for polished, traditional luxury. Unlike Serena's more bohemian, label-mixed looks, Blair's accessories were anchored in old-guard fashion houses, reinforcing her aspiration to uphold legacy, status and control. The Lady Dior became synonymous with her version of femininity—calculated, elevated and always aligned with the rules of the Upper East Side. Off-screen, its reappearance helped cement the bag's revival for a new generation of viewers. 6. Issa Dee's Telfar Shopping Bag in 'Insecure' In Season 4 of Insecure , Issa Dee carries a white Telfar Shopping Bag—a detail that didn't go unnoticed. At the time, the bag was surging in popularity for its accessibility, genderless design and status as a product of a Black-owned brand challenging traditional luxury norms. For a character navigating career pivots and self-reinvention, the choice felt intentional. Issa's use of the 'Bushwick Birkin' reflected her connection to a broader cultural shift: one that prioritised authenticity and community over gatekeeping. The bag's appearance contributed to its already viral momentum and solidified its relevance beyond fashion circles, including a prime spot on Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour.

Step onto Savile Row, London's most iconic street for style

As the inspiration behind Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's brand—synonymous with understated luxury—Savile Row (UK) remains a must-visit for the sartorially inclined traveller. 78 per cent cashmere, 14 per cent silk, 3 per cent wool, 2 per cent camel (and 3 per cent other fibres, where necessary): such is the label found inside the 'Mance' coat from The Row's Autumn/Winter 2019 collection. Designed with side pockets and a back flap, it boasts an ideal length and a price tag akin to that of a modest vehicle. 'Sometimes the coat is worth more than the money itself.' And yet, the 'Mance' coat isn't even the most extravagant offering. The Row's 'Margaux 10' handbag, rendered in crocodile leather, commands a sum comparable to a pre-owned Bentley. That these pieces continue to sell out at such prices owes everything to the brand's unwavering commitment to quality. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen did justice to The Row's namesake, honouring the London street that is home to the world's most exacting tailors: Savile Row. Nestled in the Mayfair district of Westminster, central London, Savile Row is the cradle of British tailoring. In essence, it is where any gentleman serious about refined dress naturally finds himself. See more: What to expect from Prada's 'billion dollar deal' to acquire Versace?
