Chanel always gives everything in Haute Couture, its flagship show. In a delicate moment, without Virginie Viard at the helm, the Creation Studio has used all the emblems of the French house as a reference to make Paris dream again.
The 5 trends from the Chanel Haute Couture show
1. The place: the Palais Garnier

Chanel is in Paris what Prada to Milan. The French house knows that this city is the best setting for its shows. If Lagerfeld systematically chose the Grand Palais, it is clear that change has arrived with a new setting, the Palais Garnier.
Also know as The Paris Opera, it is one of the most emblematic buildings in the capital, an emblem that Napoleon III ordered to be built. The architect Charles Garnier created an architectural jewel in the Second Empire style that today remains one of the greatest reasons for French pride, along with the Eiffel Tower or the Louvre Palace. It was time for Chanel to make it a little bit their own.
2. The values that Chanel wants to transmit
Not only does the Opera Garnier symbolize Paris better than any other building. It is also the place where there are a series of principles on which ballet and opera are based. We talk not only about beauty (for the mere fact of it) but also about patience, excellence and effort.
These are, as we say, values that Chanel also wants to associate with, especially in this collection created by its Creation Studio. Effort and discipline as a way to reach Art with capital letters.
3. The style: flirty but cool

In previous collections we have seen Chanel explore this style that moves away from the sobriety of Coco Chanel. It is about modernizing the brand but always following certain codes of the house.The bows are very present, as are the rhinestones embellishing the garments, the tulle or the mix of textures.
A style that will hook the younger generations while dazzling long-time clients. Perhaps we are facing the first step of a new stage that is expected to be fun and most inspiring.
4. It’s all in the details

If we see tweed in its most classic version, the color black as a symbol of elegance or a bride closing the parade, This collection surprises us with its evening dresses, worthy, as it could not be otherwise, of the Paris Opera.
They have made us dream with each of their looks inspired by ballet but also by the 20s and 30s. Elegance is this. Because only Chanel knows how to make us dream like this.
