The "Lady's Castle" where inspiration came from
Speaking of the 2020/21 "Lady's Castle" haute couture workshop series, it is necessary to mention its place of release, the Chenonso Castle, known as the "Lady's Castle".
It is called "Lady's Castle" because there have been many excellent women who have lived here and participated in the design of the castle. Very representative ones include Diane de Poitiers and Catherine de' Medici.
Diane de Poitiers / Catherine de' Medici
CHANEL was chosen to publish here because, spiritually speaking, the castle is also part of CHANEL's history!
It's like the catherine de' Medici and CHANEL logos are double C letters. Double C, these two perfectly curved, flipped, almost closed letters, as fate is destined to wrap around each other, becoming a symbol of continuity, causing people to think endlessly.
The black-and-white "checkerboard" floor of the castle promenade is applied to the sequin mini skirt.
There are also statues and tapestries and other objects that can be seen everywhere, which is both a memory of Gabrielle Chanel's love and a symbol of the kind of agility that everyone needs in the face of the blow of fate.
The lace lavre collar in the brand's elements and part of the jewelry aesthetic are also derived from Renaissance women.

Even the castle was filled with portraits of women, which was rare at the time, because only the king could authorize and supervise the creation of portraits in that period, indicating that these women knew how to use their strengths, and they ignored any stereotypes and created the present with grace.
That's why Virginie Viard, Creative Director of the Boutique Department, was inspired to create the CHANEL 2020/21 "Lady's Castle" haute couture workshop collection.
The perfect combination of craftsmanship and modernity
Today's high-end workshops have the responsibility for the inheritance and development of the craftsmanship culture, starting from the earliest cooperation with outstanding craftsmen in Paris, and then the acquisition of Desrues clothing and jewelry in 1985, followed by the acquisition of nearly 40 high-end handicraft workshops and factories to provide excellent craftsmanship for the brand.
What is even more remarkable is that their partnership is not exclusive, and these workshops can also serve other well-known fashion brands in France and around the world.
In the embroidery workshop, feather jewelry workshop, clothing and jewelry workshop, ruffle shop, shoe workshop, hat shop and glove workshop, etc., together with the extraordinary creativity of Virginia Viard, creative director of the boutique department, the extraordinary creativity of the creation, completed a very wonderful and gorgeous series of works.
Like the castle embroidery of the sitoff set by Vittoria Ceretti for the show, or the costumes of Lemarié camellias and ruffled piping in the feather jewelry, these require up to 100+ hours of hand-sewing by craftsmen.
The reason why twill soft tweed can become a representative element of the brand is also because its process requires extremely fine silk thread and soft wool, weaving different thicknesses and tough materials together.
Coupled with sequins, chains and other decorations, a single workshop can not be completed, and it needs to be sewn separately by the Montex embroidery workshop, so as to ensure that the fabric is shiny and luxurious, while still maintaining a sense of lightness.
In addition to the bags and accessories of each season of CHANEL, the top hats made by The Maison Michel Hat Factory on the runway this season are particularly eye-catching, and the black gauze tapered hat and round brimmed hat with the dress all exude the medieval literary flavor
Then approach these gorgeous jewels, crown double C fringe earrings shine in the ears, a variety of hand-tailored necklaces hanging down to the chest, and a very delicate business card case, really combining the ghost horse spirit and noble elegance.

Relive the black romance staged inside the castle
Moving to the CHANEL set at The Château de Chenonceau is more romantic and poetic. For example, in the wide lapel part of the suit, flowers inspired by the gardens of The Château de Chenonceau and the embroidery or prints of the castle are inlaid.
Or, like a three-dimensional knitting process, it is like embossing the architectural style of the castle on the surface of the fabric.
Some fur elements, this time also rarely climbed on CHANEL's suit, with a black and white check sequin short skirt, together to create a feeling of outdoor adventure for the castle hostess.
Using pearls and studs, the next piece of diamond check is "divided" on the leather coat, which shows the romance of CHANEL's rebellious colors.
When the low-saturated tone meets the rough tweed, it will slowly flow with retro charm, which will undoubtedly become the first climax on the runway.
"Medieval" is also one of the keywords of this release, which can be reflected in many elements, such as the regular feather element on the haute couture runway.
The embossing on the fabric depicts a low-key and hidden aristocratic totem.
The delicate feeling of the long white trench coat and ruffled cuffs seems to bring you into the medieval literary spring.
There are too many stories that a castle can contain, and in this season's runway, the style is more varied. CHANEL this time to the transparent lace fashion to the extreme, rebellious and romantic, perhaps not in conflict.
The most gothic is this long coat with black velvet. This coat is reminiscent of the film Bride in Black, also because after the death of Henry II, Catherine de' Medici wore only black.
So in this series, you can see a lot of LOOKS with a strong "dark element", as if to pour out the admiration for the Renaissance.
