The collection reflected maritime elements and the relaxed, elegant lifestyle of the Côte d'Azur. Classic maritime themes were given a modern and youthful interpretation, inspired by the styles of the 1930s and 1980s.

Signature looks: The models wore white, opaque tights, flat Mary Janes and stylish berets.

Designs: The collection featured Breton stripes, tweed suits and sweaters with the knitted-in lettering "La Pausa".

Materials: In addition to classic tweed, denim, cotton poplin and lightweight cashmere knitwear were used.

Bags: A highlight were bags in the shape of lifebuoys as well as the then newly introduced, elongated version of the "Boy Chanel" bag.

Jewelry: Large cufflinks with pearls and gemstones complemented the holiday look.

History: Coco Chanel bought the property in 1928 and had the villa built according to her own specifications. It was completed in 1929.

Architecture: The design is simple and Mediterranean, influenced by the architecture of the orphanage in Aubazine where Chanel grew up. A particularly striking element is the cloister in the courtyard, which directly references this personal heritage.

Guests: In the 1930s, the villa became a meeting place for the cultural elite. Among the guests were personalities such as Salvador Dalí, Pablo Picasso, Jean Cocteau, and Igor Stravinsky.

Following the death of her lover, the Duke of Westminster, Chanel sold the villa to publisher Emery Reves in 1954. In 2015, the fashion house Chanel acquired the property from the heirs to preserve it as an important legacy of the company's founder. After extensive restoration under architect Peter Marino, the villa reopened in 2025 and now serves as a private retreat and space for the brand's cultural projects, but is not open to the public.
