Luxury house CHANEL unveiled their Fall Winter 2022.23 Haute Couture Collection, that was inspired by Coco Chanel’s designs from the 1930s, on June 5th, during the ongoing Paris Fashion Week. The collection pays tribute to 1930s with round shoulders, square backs, embroideries with geometric shapes and patterns, but also nods to the 1970s with the constructivism of a very graphic décor. For the season, designer Virginie Viard explores freedom with tweed, large men’s hats and capelines with very wide brims. The color palette includes bright green, khaki, beige, pink, black and silver.
COUTURE COLLECTIONS
I have imagined the Fall-Winter 2022/23 Haute Couture show in the continuity of the previous show, leaving room for experimentation. The group of artists who surround me, made up of Xavier Veilhan, Sébastien Tellier, Charlotte Casiraghi and joined by Pharrell Williams and model Vivienne Rohner, allows for this. As does the Haute Couture.
In this new collection, there are suits, long dresses like Mademoiselle Chanel imagined them in the 1930s: fitted to the body even though they have strong shoulders here, and pleated dresses like the wedding dress for instance. And lace too, inlaid, reworked, not embroidered, but repainted. – Virginie Viard
