Chanel SoHo Collection
To celebrate the reopening of the CHANEL Boutique in SoHo, CHANEL Global Creative Director of Makeup Peter Philips has created a limited edition collection that echoes the spirit of SoHo. “For me, SoHo is a place where Bohemian ideals meet the toughness of the city… I love the tension and energy this creates.” says Peter Philips.
NOW AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE ONLINE AT CHANEL.COM. BUY NOW OR FACE EBAY PRICES!
The SOHO STORY Collection is a study in extreme contrasts, partnering feminine pinks and roses with strong, industrial metallics. From pretty cheekbones to anthracite nails, tender creams and flashes of metal simultaneously reflect and contradict each other. “I had a specific girl in mind who is both hard and soft. A girl who discovers a new city, a new life.” adds Peter Philips. “This is a very special kind of New York woman. She is innocent, but she has a steely determination that fuels the city.”
The collection’s SOHO DE CHANEL Exclusive Creation reflects a Pop Art influence. Stamped with the four letters of SoHo, this silky powder comes in a delicate palette of shades and, when dusted across the face, creates a subtle, natural glow.
Stupendous, Steel, Strong, Stunning, Stunt, Star: strong names that reflect the candance, the musical rhythm, the heartbeat of SoHo.
Includes:
- SoHo de Chanel ($65.00)
- Stupendous Quadra Eye Shadow ($56.00)
- Stunning Rouge Coco ($30.00)
- Stunt Rouge Allure Laque ($32.00)
- Star Glossimer ($27.00)
- Steel and Strong Le Vernis ($23.00)

I got mine in the mail today and love everything I got! and the little bag it comes with, so cute! :) I purchased the quad, lipstick, and laque...I love the quad, I don't have any of the colors in the quad...so pretty.
is this collection available at counters too?? :( i really want stunninggggg
I've heard rumors it will make its way to at least some counters in October but nothing confirmed.
To Chanel Fans, selfridges will have the SoHo collection on friday 15th October 2010 so get yourself down there at 9.30. Happy Hunting Nasreen
is this collection still available? i don't see it on chanel.com...
The quad is now out of stock.
Chanel-SOHO, I love you
lipstick, laque, and glossimer - out of stock.
Futile is a dead ringer for the Star gloss. I have both and when you put them next to each other they are a perfect match.
living in Europe seems so unfair...:( and the ebay prices are killing. I was just wandering if ther's a chance anyone could do some Cahnel online shopping for me?
The polishes are FANTASTIC!!! I need a swatch! :-D
For all the Cdn ladies, I've confirmed that this collection is only available at Holt Renfrew Bloor location and the Chanel boutique. Also, the lipstick and lip lacquer are not available here as they're exclusive to the US residents or the SoHo location or something like that (I can't remember - stopped paying attention to the SA as soon as he said that they were not available in Canada). :(
OMG this collection looks sooooo good. I want to buy the whole collection the blush/highligther, the quad, the nail polishes (both) and the lipstick and gloss. Oh boi...I think I may end up spending a fortune :(
I like the shades of the nail polishes. I placed an order for both Steel and Strong today. For those of you living in the U.S., here is a free shipping code you can use: 0810SHIP It's good until 11:59 pm EST, Monday Sept 6.
Thanks so much 4 the shipping code! It saved me $8.99 , I ordered the palette, can't wait 2 get it!
Am I the only one who can't figure out where to input the promo code? I receive promo codes like these in my email but never get to use them because I can't find the box to input them. I checked the FAQ and it says: 1. Enter your offer code on the "Payment Information" section of the "Billing" page. 2. Type in the rest of the required information. 3. Click "Continue Checkout" and the offer will be applied to your order. But the only thing it lets me input is the credit card info. I even wrote an email to customer support but got no response. Somebody help!!!
I actually finally figured out where to put it in. The box is on the first page, before you check out. I don't know why I never saw that box before. Maybe I was too tired and going blind with desire ;p
I had trouble with finding where to put the code also. I had to refresh and start all over again. I really think there is a system problem with that because it was not there the first few times for me and then all of a sudden it was.
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. So it's not my imagination that that box may not have been there the other times I tried. I could swear I'd never seen it until this morning. It was right under the "select shipping" box.
I caved. Ordered the highlighting power and Strong nail lacquer. :D
I ordered the highlighter/blush,eyeshadow quad(even though I have mystic eyes and it's probably really similiar) but I couldn't resist! I also got mademoiselle rouge coco. I've heard good thing about it and have been wanting it for a long time. I hope I like it!
I agree withe the poster who noticed the similarity to Mystic Eyes (one of my go-to quads). I won't be buying this one. Love the look of the highlighter and may check that out, although it certainly isn't indispensable.
I'm sitting here comparing christine's pic w/ my mystic eyes quad. thanks... ya'll just saved me $56 plus shipping. Which is good, since I went beserk for Fab Felines
I ordered Stunning lipstick and that's it! (So proud of myself) I hope I don't regret not getting the Laque... I talked myself out of the blush/highlighter because I know I'll never use it. What did you order Christine?
One of everything!
Does anyone know if the UK will get this collection and if so, when? x
My info doesn't state anything about elsewhere, just chanel.com & SoHo boutique. A few Australian readers said they saw some pieces at their Boutique store!
Are these limited edition????????????
Yes.
I believe it's international since I saw someone from Macau selling on eBay. Both nail polishes are up for purchase on chanel.com. GO get it before it's sold out!
Argh! Why can't this be released in Canada as well?!? I really don't like purchasing things unseen but I seriously might cave in...sigh. Oh Chanel, the woes my bank account is going through because of you.
It is up!!
Ahhh my god I want that highlighting powder so bad but 65 dollars heck no!
Hmmm, I'm sitting here deciding whether to enter my CC info. I'm a sucker for highlighting powders, I've learnt. Not sure how this would work on my ivory complexion. It's GORGEOUS!
I just ordered the eyeshadow, the two nail polishes, and the lipstick! WAHOO! Gosh, I hope it is good -- I have never ordered something sight unseen before, especially where I am not sure of the return policy!
OMG! LOL! I hope you loveeeeeee :)
They are great about Returns they even send a shipping label so you can ship it back to them at no charge. I ordered the two nail polish and that's it. I kind of want the highlighter / blush but I am not really into plum on my cheeks.
I believe it is a free return policy
Chanel has really put a lot of emphasis on their nail polishes lately. That promo video pretty much only features the model's nails. it's an interesting choice on chanel's part, but with the total domination of Jade I guess that makes sense.
Thanks Christine for the nice pictures, especially of the lipstick. These are the best I have seen! :) Now I REALLY want the quad & lipstick, think I will pass on the glossimer though.
Love the look of this new collection! Does anyone know if it will be available to purchase in the UK??! I'm ever hopeful!! :)
I heard Australia got some of these products in (but not all) - my info only indicates chanel.com and the SoHo boutique that's reopening!
this won't be avaliable internationally will it? I' loving Stunning and SoHo =)
My info just says chanel.com and SoHo Boutique, though Australia got a few of the products in already!
that doesn't quite work for me since I live in Portugal and I can't use Internet shopping =( thanks for the info anyway =)
Is it already available online? I thought it would be...on the 7th! Both Strong & Steel are out of stock.
It's been out of stock as soon as I saw it, so I think it's just up for you to drool over for now.
Just for you Australian girls out there, the SOHO collection is already available at Sydney Myer's makeup studio (I believe they got the collection about a week ago) but unfortunately they didn't get the Stunning rouge coco or the Stunt rouge allure laque. I think it's selling pretty fast!
Oooooh. This seems a little unusual for Chanel but the nail laquers look very respectable shades as usual...
