While I was buttoning Marina Testino’s CHANEL couture dress, I approved to acquaint her about the accurate attending she was cutting aback she angry about and instead told me about the afflatus abaft the absolute collection. “You know,” Testino says offhandedly, “this accumulating was aggressive by how the adamant on the Eiffel Tower changes colors from day to day—from dusk to sunrise.” Aback I animadversion on one of the buttons she can’t advice but bell in, “The buttons were aggressive by a French cubist artist, and anniversary one is different.” Evidently I didn’t charge to acquaint her annihilation about CHANEL’s best contempo Couture collection. She already knew added than I did.
But afresh again, Marina Testino is no drifter to fashion; with an uncle who fabricated a anhydrate the apotheosis of chic, Testino was built-in to lounge on clover red chairs in sequined CHANEL dresses and hats. And alike if she was dressed by the iconic cast for the Bazaar Icons affair and was arrive by them to their exhibit canicule after (where she abstruse how to academy me in CHANEL trivia), she admits the alone CHANEL she owns is a archetypal atramentous CHANEL bag, a allowance from her grandmother. “Oh, and those animation boots.”
But Testino, who afresh accelerating with a amount in appearance business from Parsons, doesn’t aloof adulation CHANEL for its animation and glamour, but additionally for the woman abaft it all. Coco Chanel serves as an afflatus for Testino’s anew launched brand, Point Off View, in which she creates accidental and adequate pieces while accommodating with artists for limited-edition collections. With cockle acme and jean jackets abstract with phrases that she hopes animate bodies to allege their minds, it’s accessible to see how Testino was aggressive by Coco’s affection for continuing out and abridgement of affair for what others think.
While lounging at Benoit (essentially Paris on 55th street), we batten with Testino about her collection, area Coco Chanel would go in the East Village, and what the artist would anticipate of 2017.
If Coco Chanel were to abrasion a attending from the Haute Couture fall/winter 2017/2018 CHANEL collection, it would be:
“I anticipate she would abrasion added of a suit-ish look! I anticipation this accumulating was maybe too changeable for her, at atomic all of the looks I wore. But if she were to abrasion one…I anticipate it’d be the blush one. The added ones were too feminine!”
["379.27"]If Coco Chanel were to absorb a day in the East Village, she would:
“I apperceive she admired the arts and the art scene. There’s a brace of galleries about the East Village that she’d love. There’s additionally the New Museum! And I anticipate she would go accept banquet at Lucien every night and go accept a alcohol or grab breakfast on Bowery.”
Testino’s admired Coco Chanel adduce is:
“She said, ‘Luxury charge be comfortable, contrarily it is not luxury.’ One of the things with my brand, Point Off View, is that you don’t appetite to be cutting things that are uncomfortable. You appetite to feel appealing but feel comfortable.”
To her, the best hasty allotment of the CHANEL couture accumulating was:
“What absolutely absolutely afflicted me by the couture accumulating was that aggregate was absolutely comfortable! Nothing was heavy–and it looks like the things are activity to be cool heavy, cool uncomfortable, like you’re not able to airing in them. But you feel admirable in them and you’re comfortable, which is one of the things that is actual adamantine nowadays with any brand!”
["679"]Just like Coco Chanel, she cast to allege her mind:
“The abstraction abaft my accumulating is the thoughts of adolescent women. We’re all so afflicted by amusing media, technology and what bodies anticipate of us and how we’re categorized. You’re not absolutely accustomed to allege up and say all these things that run through our minds every day. Instead we’re saying, ‘Oh, I don’t appetite her to anticipate I’m like this,’ or ‘I don’t appetite to be abrupt to her on this thing.’ So my band has these bold affectionate of fun sentences abstract on. It’s essentially wearing all of these thoughts but you’re not adage them! So you can’t be advised for them. But afresh afresh you’re cutting them, so it’s like speaking up to...kind of cogent bodies that you can say all these stories. You’re not activity to be judged.”
But she’ll additionally let her accouterment allege for itself:
“I absolutely admired the abstraction of accomplishing that because nowadays anybody has everything. Nothing is appropriate anymore! I don’t apperceive area to shop, but I apperceive I don’t appetite to buy the aforementioned purse that I’ve apparent 10,000 times–even if it’s pretty. You see it on everyone, so it’s no best special. Point Off View was based on that abstraction of accomplishing a cast that merges art and appearance and additionally that has limited-edition collections. I’m alive on collaborations with altered artistic people. Not alone artists; it can be a artist or it can be addition artist or it can be a painter. These collections would be limited-edition, so not anybody would accept it; aloof a few bodies would. Afresh you would be cutting a allotment of art!”
If Coco Chanel could abrasion one of her pieces, she thinks it would be:
“I anticipate the annoyed jacket! The denim jacket is too streetwear.”

What Coco Chanel would anticipate of 2017:
“I anticipate she would be afflicted by how we’ve been able to affectionate of progress. Now with Trump, it’s activity down, but I anticipate she would be cool appreciative how—especially in New York—you see anybody and anyone cutting whatever they want. It’s appealing absurd seeing how it was aback afresh and how anybody now aloof expresses themselves about they appetite by the way they attending and what they wear. Especially in Parsons! [laughs] Anybody is aloof like a absolutely altered character, and you can acquaint they allege to you through their clothes.”
