Chanel's cruise 2010 collection was launched last November on the stunning Lido beach in Venice.
"Venice has a genuine dark and mysterious side to it that fascinated me. I really like the Italian spirit and the Venetian lifestyle...and let’s not forget that Coco Chanel came back to Venice for 10 years.” - Lagerfeld
