Books have a unique power to stir emotions, spark debates, and leave us with lingering thoughts. That\u2019s where literary clubs step in\u2014a place for curious minds to unpack those feelings, debate, and connect. Chanel recognizes this with <\/span>Rendez-vous Litt\u00e9raires Rue Cambon<\/span><\/i>, created by the house\u2019s ambassador Charlotte Casiraghi, taking Chanel from haute couture to the world of the written word. <\/span><\/p>\n

The series invites figures like writer \u00c9douard Louis, philosopher Bernard-Henri L\u00e9vy, and other cultural icons to dive deep into meaningful works. And their latest edition took over the iconic 7L library\u2014Karl Lagerfeld\u2019s own brainchild\u2014to honour a legend of French literature, Sidonie Gabrielle Colette, or simply, Colette. In a literary pause during Fashion Week\u2019s dazzling chaos, the event celebrated works of this bold author whose unique writing still resonates fiercely with modern readers, especially women.<\/span><\/p>\n

As passages from Colette\u2019s works were read aloud, a knowing smile passed through the crowd<\/span> as they heard the words of a woman who unapologetically lived by her desires\u2014a guilty pleasure many wish they could embrace. <\/span>Casiraghi, once former founding member of the pristine literary club Les Rencontres Philosophiques de Monaco, had carefully curated a group well-versed in Colette\u2019s work, including Colette scholar Olivia Gesbert and actress Cl\u00e9mence Po\u00e9sy, who served as the evening\u2019s featured reader, guiding the discussion with both reverence and wit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cl\u00e9mence Po\u00e9sy kicked off the evening with a reading from Colette\u2019s <\/span>Ch\u00e9ri<\/span><\/i>, drawing everyone into the author\u2019s vivid world. Colette didn\u2019t just believe in instincts\u2014she lived by them. While most people grow into that kind of trust with age, for her, it came naturally. The group dove into lines like \u201cmy body writes my words\u201d and \u201clove is the bread and butter to my pen,\u201d unpacking her commitment to following her gut. As discussion flowed, attendees shared thoughts, peeling back layers of Colette\u2019s bold self-assurance and exploring the fearless creativity that drove her many works.<\/span><\/p>\n

What stood out most in the event was how the hosts eagerly drew parallels between Colette and Coco Chanel, seeing both as more than icons\u2014they pushed against conventions and embodied their own unique individuality. Both were liberated, tomboyish, and astute businesswomen, intelligent yet grounded. As Olivia Gesbert put it, ‘Colette, much like Gabrielle Chanel, was a great designer of the 20th century’\u2014not with fabric, but with words and ideas, crafting a cultural legacy with the same daring spirit Chanel brought to fashion.<\/span><\/p>\n

With each new edition, <\/span>Les Rendez-vous Litt\u00e9raires Rue Cambon<\/span><\/i> has become to literature what <\/span>Cahiers du Cin\u00e9ma<\/span><\/i> and the <\/span>Criterion Collection<\/span><\/i> are to cinema<\/span>\u2014a space that dissects, celebrates, and preserves the art of storytelling. <\/span><\/p>\n

GRAZIA eagerly awaits the next chapter of this salon-style initiative, as Casiraghi continues to spark fresh conversations that invite readers, thinkers, and dreamers to lose themselves in the world of words.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42741,"featured_media":57732,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[107,7142,5172,65,35,4025],"yoast_head":"\nInside Chanel\u2019s
