Beare Park’s Debut Collection Is A Masterclass In Understated Chic

The brand has left a lasting impression.

On Wednesday June 2 at the iconic Sydney Opera House, Beare Parkreleased its debut collection into the world. The scene was set for a spectacular show, and it absolutely delivered.

 Founded by friends Gabriella Pereira and Angela Krantz, the collection is a culmination of hard work, determination and a desire to bring unparalleled quality to the Australian fashion scene. 

Taking a capsule-approach to dressing, many pieces are designed to be worn together, with multiple garments being mixed and matched throughout the show. We saw a strapless velvet top paired with trousers initially, before it returned towards the end of the show as a striking mini dress. The versatility of each piece makes them a must-have for minimalist dressing, which only continues to grow in popularity.

One of the most beautiful things about this collection is its unique ability to transcend both age and gender. Elegant silk trousers, billowing shirts and oversized blazers are capable of complimenting anyone, making it a highly inclusive range. The androgynous nature of the designs is yet another inclusivity push, with male models showcasing a relaxed-fitting suit and sophisticated shirt/trouser look.

Every piece has been handmade in Sydney by master tailors. The only international component is the fabrics, with silk sourced from the world's finest mills in Japan and Italy (read: unparalleled quality). Wool garments have been carefully crafted from Australian merino wool and woven with silk from the Biella region of northern Italy (a region renowned for producing the world's highest quality wool cloth since the 17th Century).

CHANEL PRESENTS THE NEW COLLECTION FOR FALL & WINTER 2021-2022

 

CHANEL PRESENTS THE NEW COLLECTION FOR FALL & WINTER 2021-2022

FASHION WEEK 

“I love contrasts, so for the more voluminous winter pieces, I wanted a small space. I don’t know if this is because of the times we live in, but I wanted something warm, lively. I imagined the models doing a show for themselves, going from room to room, crossing each other in staircases, piling their coats up in the cloakroom and going up to the next floor to get changed. And I thought of the shows that Karl would tell me about, back in the day, a long time ago, when the models would dress themselves and do their own make-up,” says Virginie Viard describing the atmosphere of the CHANEL Fall-Winter 2021/22 Ready-to-Wear show.

 

“So, I decided to go to Castel. I like Castel so much for its many salons, the spiral staircase, its bar, the journey through this venue, its little house style, where the models can get changed, dressed and undressed, do their make-up together, and have fun like a girls night in. It’s very sensual.” A sensuality that also touches the collection teasers and press kit, staged by the duo Inez & Vinoodh who filmed this show playing with the contrasts so loved by Virginie Viard. Contrasts between volumes, materials and spirit. A long tweed coat with a chevron motif reveals bare legs wearing voluminous boots in black curly faux fur; a trouser suit in black tweed with small checks in blue lurex is adorned with thin braces in pearls and layers of sautoir necklaces. A white coat in patent sheepskin and lined with faux fur, is coupled with “down jacket” style two-tone boots, with unzippable legs giving way to a pair of silver heeled booties to go dancing in. The salopettes-ski suits in white quilting embroidered with red and blue motifs, or in fuchsia tweed, are worn with strappy sandals embellished with chains and little black bows or pumps adorned with a camellia, while delicate blouses in chiffon or crêpe de Chine are combined with pieces inspired by winter sportswear. “This collection is a mix of two influences: the ambiance of ski holidays, which I adore, and a certain idea of cool Parisian chic, from the 1970s to now.”

 

Sequinned ballet flats, strass-covered minaudières worn like a sautoir necklace, a man’s black shirt with a white collar and cuffs under a precious suit in navy lurex, a tweed kilt over a knitted jumpsuit embellished with iridescent threads… “Today some of these silhouettes make me think of Stella Tennant’s allure, the way she wore certain pieces, it was so Chanel.”

“A very simple, very pure momentum. Romanticism but without any flourishes. Emotions but without any frills,” explains Virginie Viard. “Movement, air... For the runway show, no frame. I don’t like framing.” Freedom, energy, desire for the absolute. Gabrielle Chanel - always - whose racehorse was called ‘Romantica’, the film Les Biches by Chabrol for his Parisiennes who are as feminine as they are amazones, and a photo of Karl Lagerfeld wearing a striped suit with riding boots.

 

For this CHANEL Fall-Winter 2020/21 Ready-to-Wear collection, “almost no dresses, just casaques (jockey silks). Jodhpurs that open over seven-league boots, a nod to those belonging to Karl. For the first time there are press studs on the suits for a more lively gesture,” continues Virginie Viard. Lots of black and white. Just a few touches of pale green and the emblematic pink of the House. A softness. An outline, punctured with imposing jewellery.

 

“I love CHANEL so much, this collection could only be a new ode.”
