With the Chanel Coco Crush Jewelry campaign, the French house celebrates Qixi Festival (August 22nd, 2023).
The Qixi Festival is a traditional Chinese holiday that commemorates the annual meeting of the Zhinü and Niulang in Chinese mythology. It is also known as the Qiqiao Festival, the Double Seventh Festival, the Chinese Valentine’s Day, the Night of Sevens, or the Magpie Festival. It happens on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, which is normally in August according to the Gregorian calendar.
The holiday has romantic overtones and is frequently regarded as a day for lovers to express their love and celebrate their relationships. Similar to Valentine’s Day in other countries, it has become a day for gift-giving, romantic outings, and vows of love. The Qixi Festival has grown in popularity in recent years, and it is now celebrated with a variety of events and activities throughout China and other East Asian countries.
