The CHANEL 2023/24 Métiers d’art show is imbued with the energy of Manchester and its musicality. Through silhouettes of absolute precision, the collection evokes the ever-youthful love story between the House and Great Britain, an adventure that has lasted for over a century.
Using utmost simplicity and absolute precision, Virginie Viard wanted this 2023/24 Métiers d’art collection to be faithful to the House codes. In addition to each of the codes that make it so modern – the chains at the bottom of the jackets, the contrasting inner fabrics, the multiple topstitched panels allowing for a great freedom of movement – this is a celebration of Gabrielle Chanel’s own art of tailoring. Even the tops of the skirts are in the same fabric as the inside of the jackets and coats, offering a continuity of line to the gaze.
