CHANEL Metier d’arts finds its rhythm with Luca Biggs

In a quiet moment between tides, Luca Biggs becomes our siren guide. For the pages of our May No Wave issue, Biggs wears CHANEL Metier d’arts with the ease of someone who knows when to resist the current – and when to become it. Photographed by Olivia Frølich and styled by Hannah Cooper, Biggs is a vision of insouciance. Like a submerged memory. Like salt in the wound that somehow soothes.

Here, CHANEL’s Metier d’arts collection finds its rhythm in the undercurrent – layered knitwear and softened tweeds made for beach bonfires and backseat philosophy. Frølich’s lens captures the stillness after a storm, Biggs caught mid-thought, mid-laugh, mid-rebellion. Her presence is kinetic, electric even. And Cooper’s styling is declarative but never loud – metallic finishes glint like oil slicks, while sculpted accessories echo flowers collected in youth and long since lost.

The CHANEL girl has always existed in a state of suspension: elegance and ease, tradition and tomorrow. Biggs becomes her like a second skin, folded into coastal palettes and brushed textures that feel almost tidal. One look away from disappearing into the foam. This is Metier d’arts as cipher. Biggs as muse. Just a shift in the wind, and the knowing that some waves don’t break—they build.
