What is Chanel Summer Tour?
In 2022, Chanel is launching a new project, “Chanel Summer Tour,” which will travel to different locations. To celebrate the relationship between fashion and music, and the cultural alliances that have long influenced each other. This is something that Chanel has always given great importance to. This can be seen in the choice of music as an inspiration for the creation of various collections. Including campaign videos and fashion shows, Chanel Ambassador Caroline de Maigret will host the Chanel Summer Tour, and will travel to each destination. It will officially make its debut in Saint-Tropez, France, and Marbella, Spain, and later in 2023, it will visit East Hampton, another highlight of the Chanel Summer Tour. Among the latest destinations, Bangkok, Thailand, is the first stop in Asia. The event was chosen to be held in the ‘Talat Noi District,’ an old city area filled with a diverse artistic aura. It has become a popular new area for both Thai people and tourists. Chanel has transformed The Warehouse Talat Noi to have a summer atmosphere where people go out to enjoy the music.

Ail says:
“I think the magic of the CHANEL Summer Tour playlist is the mix of summer songs that are perfect for those hours when you want to relax. Or when you want to escape for a vacation. It can also refer to the summer mood of Bangkok, full of brightness. The variety is impeccable and this year, in addition to having a Bangkok playlist, if anyone is interested, there is also a Hong Kong playlist as well.”
