At 9:00 p.m. Beijing time on January 25, CHANEL's 2022 spring/summer haute couture collection kicked off as scheduled at the Temporary Pavilion of the Grand Palais in Paris.
Virginia Viard invited artist Xavier Veilhan to design the launch and shoot a short film for the show. In the trailer visual blockbuster, the artist's own aesthetic system can already be perceived, and in a smoky illusion, a lady rides a horse through the fog and arrives at no man's land.
Xavier Veilhan is good at using a unique aesthetic language to explain the charm of geometric imagery, and the soft visual impact vaguely tells the aesthetic power of "blurring and angularity".
Elements that constantly appear in Xavier Veilhan's aesthetic vocabulary, especially the image of the horse, as well as oversized instruments and some allegorical designs of modernity (derived from the movement of avant-garde artists in the 1920s). These elements resonate with Chanel's world, echoing the creations of Ms. Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld, and Virginie Viard.
The on-site installations feature riding and dog walking trails, miniature golf courses and giant geometric figures suspended in the air, and the whimsical on-site arrangement creates a world of chanel's authentic and dreamy equestrian world with the ultimate proportions.
CHANEL is like a dreamer, inviting you to join us in this wonderful half-year appointment.
Riding a horse may not be a prince, but a female knight in a CHANEL black tweed coat.
Virginie Viard invited the equestrian Charlotte Casiraghi to open the show, from the elegant posture of a leisurely walk to the free stretching posture, which is the "a sense of freedom" that CHANEL has given women in this haute couture collection.
If the presentation of ready-to-wear requires the whimsy of the designer, then in the couture design, the designer is more like a rigorous sculptor. Focusing on the creation of every inch of silhouette, with a grasp between millimeters to create an irrelevant decoration, but in the aesthetic proportion of volume and silhouette.
The re-proportioned tweed coats and dresses show a strength different from the texture of the fabric itself, symbolizing the strength of the shoulder pads and the right waist, allowing the wearer to be resolute without losing the femininity of the female body line.
When you think your bottoms are sleek wide-leg pants, the sudden tightening of the trousers is immediately reminiscent of the silhouette of equestrian pants. The tweed material gives the equestrian pants-type haute couture a gorgeous temperament, and the side seams are slits that maximize the fabric and air.
The stiff, thick silhouette needs a little fine detail, and every colorful jewelry button on the tweed refracts the dazzling light at an inadvertent angle.
The wrap-shaped tweed skirt seems to reveal the lightness of spring and summer, and between the slits, you can see that the inner petticoat has an amazing craftsmanship.
The dynamics of the model's walk make the skirt more attractive, and the fishtail skirt woven by McClum's hand-knitting technique gives the haute couture suit a touch of natural simplicity. Virginie Viard frees women's bound legs when handling the fishtail skirt, and the sense of freedom advocated by equestrianism is originally hidden in these inadvertent details.
Virginie Viard conceived of the visual proportions of lightness and heaviness, freshness and solemnity from Xavier Veilhan's work. Cascading ruffles and flowing tassels make the dress feel breathless as the model's body naturally swings, suspended in the air.
One of the core pieces of the collection, the dress created by The Age Embroidery Shop is a constructivist camellia embroidered under the skirt in black, white and coral beads, paired with a small black coat, which is the spiritual fit between Xavier Veilhan and Virginie Viard presented in the language of fashion.
Virginie Viard also broke with our previous attachment to high waists, ignoring the use of chiffon and eugen yarn fabrics to make the skin's exposure become elegant and restrained in a vague way. Sequins, beads and feathers give dresses the freedom and freedom of Flapper Girl in the 1920s and 1930s.
The trailing design that extends from the shoulders and waist just complements the silky satin surface, and the visual smoothness makes the shape resistant to the 360-degree dead angle.
When tulle was draped over the satin dress, we knew the show had come to an end. The girl abandons her heavy veil, puts on a camellia-decorated hairband, holds a blue camellia in her hand, and sees in holiness her soul yearning for freedom.
Innovatively interpreting the heel design of the 20s in the style of the 80s, two Mary Jane trip shoes run through the Entire Look. Whether it's loose pants or an elegant skirt, Marjoren can digest perfectly.
The craftsmanship of CHANEL haute couture has always been unquestionable, and lace of different densities is composed of Xavier Veilhan-style dresses through geometric stitching of Cubism. The twinkling stars on the black lace are beads hidden behind the tulle.
Couture opulence is hidden in the details, the model suddenly appears behind the colored gemstones and the shoulders of the tweed coat when the model turns around, without bothering to observe, it will become a missed scenery - white camellias, CHANEL's surprise is always left to those who repeatedly taste fashion.
The eclectic makeup represents the designer's ambitions under this theme, and the large-scale smoky makeup and even the somewhat exaggerated eye-tail treatment make us have unlimited imagination for this woman in CHANEL haute couture.
What is the shape of the free soul? How much does the dancing skirt flutter? CHANEL has created a dreamy couture world for everyone who loves Chinese clothes and is not willing to settle for mediocrity.
In this era when some people always sing about haute couture, CHANEL uses the most pure craftsmanship and unique fashion perspective to tell people about the pattern and aesthetic height of haute couture clothing. CHANEL insists on writing a love letter to fashion with couture, and this confession may not be understood by everyone, but those who understand can naturally taste the deepest love among them.
