Artist Xavier Veilhan, who incorporates elements of avant-garde art from the 1920s and 1930s in his installations, loves constructivist features that coincide with Karl Lagerfeld, the brand's last creative director.
"The on-site design of the launch event fulfilled my long-cherished desire to work with Xavier Veilhan. His use of constructivism reminds me of Karl Lagerfeld's designs. ”
——Virginia Viard
Draw design inspiration from runway installations
The variety of geometric designs on the scene not only pays tribute to the aesthetic style of the World Expo, but also the design framework of the conference.
Virginie Viard: "These geometric shapes allowed me to conceive of contrasting designs that exude lightness and freshness. ”
The suspended art installations inspire the dress, which is agile and ethereal, as if floating in the air.
Elements such as ruffles, McClum hand-knitting, and colorful jewelry buttons are combined with the runway installation.
The passion for art and design of the 1920s was also incorporated into this brisk collection.
This passion unfolds with flowing chiffon dresses, feather slip dresses and fringed dancer skirts.
Geometric motifs from that era also appear on pieces such as sequined slip dresses embellished with ostrich feathers.
To embody the concept of the 1920s, makeup artists also used avant-garde ideas from the pre-war era in their makeup.
The idea is very good, but from the presentation of makeup... Good, don't make it next time.
This season's CHANEL's main shoe is also Mary Jane's shoe, and the explosive shoe type of the coming year is about to come out.
These two-tone Mary Jane trip shoes are also from the 1920s.
Reinterpreted by Virginie Viard, a modern twist is incorporated into the vintage style.
Black and white two colors are simple and advanced, whether it is daily or formal occasions, you can use it as a collocation.
Feminine feminine charm
Presenting women's charm through clothing is CHANEL's specialty, and the classic tweed jacket is the most commonly used piece.
This season's tweed tweed suit adds a lot of new elements to details such as necklines and cuffs.
Pink tweed coat with white stripes;
White woven shoulder strap embroidered with beads or silver chain;
The colorful buttons are made into the shape of camellias, which fully reflects the BRAND DNA of CHANEL.
The seemingly rigorous, meticulous tweed suit adds a different touch to the gentle color scheme.
Young girls wear is cute and lively, mature women wear generous and decent, it seems that this set of designs can capture the hearts of all ages~
The wrap-over slit tweed skirt is a major breakthrough this season.
The slit design that looms between the steps, mysterious with a hint of sexiness ~ ~
The fishtail skirt woven by Maclamm's hand-knitting technique fully reflects the craftsmanship of the haute couture system.
The same high slit design can not only make people have a feeling of not being bound, but also make the people wearing it more feminine and moving when walking.
All embroidery workshops cooperated by the CHANEL brand were involved in the creation of this collection. Dresses created by Lesage embroidery workshops are one of the core pieces of the collection.
Black, white and coral beads embroider constructivist camellias under the skirt, and the small black coat fully reflects the delicacy and beauty of CHANEL.
Evening dress skirts remove exaggerated large skirts and overly eye-catching ornaments, and mostly adopt simple designs.
By cinching the waist just right, the feminine line of the female body line is outlined.
The bridal look at the finale has a touch of solemnity this season.
French actor Gaspard Ulliel, the spokesperson for CHANEL's azure men's perfume, died in a ski accident last week.
In order to commemorate him, the finale model deliberately appeared with a blue camellia in his hand, and the details reflected the delicacy and humanism of the brand.
There's always been an idea in the fashion world: to build a relationship with history, but also to keep it updated.
As a result, we see a lot of past, familiar design elements in this season's work, and Virginie Viard builds on them to create a "dialogue that spans time and space".
