Designer Virginie Viard presented CHANEL‘s Fall Winter 2020.21 Haute Couture collection, that was inspired by rock romanticism and by the style of the brand’s late designer Karl Lagerfeld. The collection features shimmering opulence with plenty of jewelry.
I was thinking about a punk princess coming out of ‘Le Palace’ at dawn. With a taffeta dress, big hair, feathers and lots of jewellery. This collection is more inspired by Karl Lagerfeld than Gabrielle Chanel. Karl would go to ‘Le Palace’, he would accompany these very sophisticated and very dressed up women, who were very eccentric too. – Virginie Viard
Fashion photographer Mikael Jansson captured Chanel‘s Fall-Winter 2020.21 Haute Couture lookbook featuring top models Adut Akech and Rianne Van Rompaey.
“All of CHANEL’s embroidery partners, including the Métiers d’art Lesage and Montex, as well as Lemarié and Goossens have contributed to the precious tweeds embellished with sequins, strass, stones and beads. A diamond-like braiding adorns the ink black trouser suits. Short dresses with cinched waists and corolla skirts rustle alongside long dresses with a very Grand Siècle allure and the noble authority of heroines escaping from 19th century tableaux.
Black and anthracite grey tonalities are illuminated with flashes of pink. Painted laces enrich bolero jackets along with tweeds made of silver streaked ribbon; a jacket with an entirely smocked waist is worn over tapered boot-trousers in black suede.” – From Chanel
