[Drazic44]

Did the Métiers d'Art collection hit the stores ? Did you already saw some amazing new pieces ? I can not wait for discover it !

 

[MaryJoe84]

No, not yet... It will be launched around May - so I'm also curious about the lists... hopefully they will be posted soon

 

[Mosman]

Any one have the list for this collection please do share !

I really really do not like the "accordion bag"

I think other threads are calling this collection "Pre-Fall", so might be posting it in the Fall threads. I hope there are nice things in this release.

But, Metiers d'Arts is not Pre Fall ( in France, maybe it's different, or called different in USA ), there will be a Pre Fall ( Fall Act 1 ) too in 2018 launch during the summer, no ?

No, Metiers d’Art is Pre-Fall....then comes Fall (consisting of Act 1 and Act 2)

In France, in Boutiques and on the Chanel iPhone app, collections are called :

Pré-Collection Printemps Été
Collection Défilé Printemps Été
Metiers d'Arts
Pré-Collection Automne Hivers
Collection Défilé Automne Hivers
Croisière

Every single year we have this debate. I clearly see that Metiers d'Arts is a special collection similar to Cruise (but really not...much better in my eyes), but the experts keep calling it Pre-Fall. I just bow out and wait for the photos.

 

[Mrs.Z]

I’m missing what the debate is. Metiers d’Art is Chanel’s highest level of craftsmanship before you reach Couture. For example, there are jackets from the Hamburg show that retail for $20k -$50k. It is presented before the Fall season thus why it is also referred to as Pre-Fall.

I Know, but for Chanel in Paris, Pre Fall means that you call "Acte I" for the regular collection

Pre Fall is a season like Spring, Fall and Cruise; a period during which collections are shown. As per your above post it appears they refer to our Act 1 as Fall Pre Collection but I am not French and only relying on terms commonly utilized by international Fashion press/houses etc.

Isn’t it like Spring/Summer? We called it Act I and Act II but on the Chanel website it’s listed as S/S Pre-collection and S/S collection?
so Fall Pre-collection is Act I and Fall collection is Act II? 18K/B/A?
