Within a cinematic background, against a 360° cinema screen from the film “Last Year in Marienbad” (1961) by Alain Resnais, the CHANEL Spring-Summer 2023 Ready-to-Wear collection incites the very essence of “allure”. Exploring a woman’s freedom – of movement and of expression – Virginie Viard imagines a collage of glamour, swirling with modernity and lightness. Symbols of womanhood, from pearls and sequins to bows and feathers, alight upon silk chiffons, polka dots, and houndstooth tweeds. Sensuality abounds in the shifting proportions of softness, structure and precious adornments. Mystery pervades in the intangible echoes of Gabrielle Chanel, executed with an innately modern hand.
