Put your best nails forward with these luscious new colours from Chanel. Mademoiselle Coco Chanel spent many summers at the Château de Crémat, set in a picturesque vineyard in the hills of Nice. Its stained glass windows emblazoned with interlocking Cs are believed to have inspired Chanel’s famous logo, and it was here that the designer would dine on regional dishes made with ingredients plucked from the lush surrounding landscape. A Niçoise salad, which takes its name from the city of Nice and features tuna, eggs, tomatoes, plump olives and buttery green beans, would have surely been on the menu. Get out your perkiest lettuce and follow our step-by-step guide to creating this iconic summer dish. ◉
