The cobblestoned banks of the Seine served as the stage for Chanel’s fall-winter runway show and celebrated the soul of Paris
Models did their best to strut the cobblestoned banks of the Seine Tuesday as Chanel showed off its fall-winter collection and celebrated the soul of Paris.
Here are some highlights of Tuesday’s fall couture collections, including when The Associated Press caught up with French actress Clemence Poesy.
CHANEL’S PARIS
“This collection is the portrait of a sensitive yet bold Parisienne, » said Virginie Viard, Chanel’s creative director. « It’s like standing on a line between strength and delicacy.”
Tuesday’s assembly of tweeds, silk chiffons, organza and inlaid lace, in a myriad of floral and graphic motifs, was a testament to Viard’s vision of this rich and feminine universe.
Despite the sparkle and gleam of golden heels and buttons, the collection embraced a comforting simplicity.
Assured yet understated colors, flat-pleated golden tweed skirts, masculine-inspired overcoats, and delicately structured jackets all played into the subtle allure of the show.
