The Unstoppable Collection

In the 1980s, Inès de la Fressange did something radical on the runway: she smiled. Genuinely. At a time when models were expected to be unreachable, she was warm, relaxed, recognizably human. It made her the most famous face in fashion.

​

Chanel signed her exclusively. Then fired her. The company she founded with her own name turned around and stripped her of the rights to that name - she wasn't the majority shareholder.

​

She started over. Her own label, her own rules, the same effortless Parisian style she'd always embodied.
