Designer Virginie Viard unveiled the CHANEL Fall Winter 2023.24 Haute Couture Collection with a fashion show held on July 4th, during the ongoing Paris Fashion Week. The collection embodies the essence of a sensitive yet daring Parisian woman, characterized by contrasts and harmony. The allure of this woman lies in her unique charm that defies conventional norms and effortlessly fuses elements that are often separated, classified, and hierarchized for convenience’s sake. The collection explores every aspect of the Parisian woman’s life, from her fashion choices to her literary preferences and worldview. Her influence crosses borders and inspires others, whether in opposition or imitation. Her attraction pervades numerous art genres such as cinema, literature, and music, linking different collections over time.
