Impressions of the Spring-Summer 2017 Ready-to-Wear Show – CHANEL Shows

The commercial song used in the 2016 film “Story of the Spring-Summer 2017 Ready-to-Wear CHANEL Show” is “I Feel Love,” performed by singer-songwriter Donna Summer, who is known as the Queen of Disco and has won five Grammy Awards.

This work, which makes masterful use of techno sounds featuring beeping synthesizers, also became one of the leading tracks in the disco music scene.

ROUGE COCO FLASH CHANEL THE FILM

This track, which was used as the ROUGE COCO FLASH commercial song starting in March 2019, is a song from American R&B singer Janelle Monáe’s 2018 album Dirty Computer.

The wobbly, bouncy track is super addictive.

Just like the title “Make Me Feel,” it has a laid-back vibe that lets you feel free and have fun.

Janelle Monáe’s slightly husky vocals add a cool touch of spice.

ChereeSuicide

Suicide – Cheree (Official Audio)

This song was used as the commercial theme for Rouge Coco Lip Blush starting in March 2018.

It’s a track from Suicide, the duo band that epitomized 1970s–80s post-punk, taken from their 1977 album “Suicide.” Over a steadily pulsing track that stretches on for a long time, glittering sounds occasionally float in, wrapping you in a curious sensation that even evokes a Christmas mood.

Although they’re an American band, doesn’t the wintry timbre conjure an image of Scandinavia?

Details of the Spring-Summer 2014 Ready-to-Wear Collection – CHANEL Shows

The track used in “Details of the CHANEL Spring-Summer 2014 Ready-to-Wear Collection,” released in 2014, is a song by the UK folk group The Accidental, included on their 2008 album There Were Wolves.

Its melody, carried by simple, mainly acoustic guitar sounds, repeats in a soothing refrain.

The gently looping atmosphere is pleasantly calming, and it feels as though it inspires different ways to express one’s individuality through clothing.

GenesisGrimes

Grimes – Genesis

Genesis by Grimes, an artist from Vancouver, Canada.

Released in 2012 and included on the album Visions, it was later used in 2021 as the song for the Chanel Rouge Coco Bloom commercial.

It’s ethereal and free-spirited, with a distinctive sense of weightlessness that includes the vocals.

The lyrics are very abstract, but they seem to depict the fluttery feeling of falling in love or a kind of listless state where you can’t focus on anything—and perhaps, in fact, they express the strength to maintain a resolute personal style.

It’s a perfect match with Chanel, which pursues an individualistic vision of beauty.
