You might have seen editor Noelle Loh's Instagram stories on Female's Instagram page when she was recently invited all the way to Hamburg, Germany for the latest Chanel Métiers d’Art show - which is the brand's annual showcase of their luxury artisan-specialist companies - niche companies acquired by Chanel that specialise in traditional crafts such as haute couture-standard embroidery and jewellery.

Chanel has officially kicked off Resort 2018 season with an ancient Greece-themed show held in - of all places, Paris. We take a look at what went down and our favourite pieces of the show.

The Greek economy may have tanked, but its style influence has never been stronger. Thanks to Chanel's lowdown at its recent Resort ' 18 show, Hellenic-style never seemed so compelling. But it isn't just the slinky draping, gilded laurels and column-heeled gladiator sandals at the maison which got us feeling that way. Here, we pinpoint some of the influences in fashion, jewellery, travel and pop culture  -- from the recent Met Gala to a newly-opened luxury resort in Mykonos -- that celebrate this culture in such a big way.

Yes, it was at the revamped Ritz Paris, where Cara Delevingne waltzed, Pharrell Williams walked, and guests were served champagne and gourmand confectionery to complete the joyful once-in-a-lifetime show experience. But the highest point was undoubtedly the utterly pretty, cocktail-ready clothes and here's our insider view.
