Throughout the evening guests enjoyed light bites and champagne as they walked through BG Restaurant decorated in incredible florals and more than 350 factice bottles from Mr. Gupta’s collection. The Factice Collection, which contains more than 1,404 factices as counted and confirmed by Guinness World Records — but actually includes closer to 3,000 factices, features bottles from world-renowned fragrance houses such as Guerlain, Caron, Dior, CHANEL and Estée Lauder, valued from $2,000 to $100,000. The evening also highlighted Gupta’s very first factice, L’Air du Temps by Nina Ricci, which he uncovered while working at a perfume shop on Canal Street as a penniless graduate student in the early 1990’s.

Sudhir Gupta’s very first factice, L’Air du Temps by Nina Ricci, acquired around 1992.  Launched after World War II, the factice was made by Lalique in 1948 and the dove on top was meant as a symbol of peace.

Midway through the evening, Guinness World Records’ Michael Empric took the floor to present Gupta with his official plaque for his impressive collection. After Gupta was presented with the award, he shared a few words of gratitude, stating “Everything I have achieved has evolved from my passion for factices.”

CHANEL has announced that from January 1^st 2021, Charlotte Casiraghi will become an ambassador and spokesperson for the House. She will also embody the campaign for the Spring-Summer 2021 Ready-to-Wear collection imagined by Virginie Viard, photographed in Monaco by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin.

This announcement seals a long relationship based on trust and friendship, started by Karl Lagerfeld and continued today by Virginie Viard. Close to the House since her teenage years, photographed by the designer for the book The Little Black Jacket: Chanel’s Classic Revisited by Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld in 2012, Charlotte Casiraghi has always been loyal to the House, attending numerous CHANEL events and shows, and regularly wearing its creations.

With a degree in philosophy and a passion for literature and poetry – an art to which Karl Lagerfeld initiated her at a young age – the new CHANEL ambassador and spokesperson is President of the Rencontres philosophiques de Monaco, an association that she founded in 2015, whose aim is to celebrate and promote philosophy through monthly themed events dedicated to reflection, discussion and the passing on of ideas. This distinguished horse rider, who has taken part in several show-jumping competitions, is also the patron of the Monte-Carlo International Jumping event.

Perpetuating Gabrielle Chanel and Karl Lagerfeld’s unconditional love for literature, the House of CHANEL, Virginie Viard and Charlotte Casiraghi will shortly be unveiling a project entitled Les Rendez-vous littéraires rue Cambon [Literary rendezvous at rue Cambon]. Throughout 2021, these themed encounters, to be relayed on CHANEL’s website and social networks, will bring together female writers and actresses, in the company of friends of the House, to read, discuss and share their unique perspective on their own work or that of other historical or contemporary literary figures they hold dear.

The first of these rendezvous will take place on Tuesday January 26^th 2021 in the salons of 31 rue Cambon. The campaign for CHANEL’s Spring-Summer 2021 Ready-to-Wear collection will be unveiled on January 1^st.

“Romantic punk with a sophisticated twist.

A playfulness paired with a chic sense of assurance.

We maintained a punk attitude to the makeup going from a bold eyeliner to a deep dark sophisticated lip, through a defined yet subtle use of pink.

Very strong and deep, defined browny red lips, a very thin elongated eyeliner going across the top of the eye, a very transparent and luminous skin with accents of balmy highlight on the top of the lid and high on the cheekbones give yet another twist to the same inspiration,” Lucia Pica, global creative make-up and colour director for Chanel
