Chanel unveils light and colourful haute couture collection
French fashion house Chanel unveiled a light
and colourful Spring-Summer 2025 haute couture collection on Tuesday in Paris,
crafted by its creative studio rather than new artistic director Matthieu
Blazy.
Celebrities including Kylie Jenner and Pamela Anderson watched the show at
the Grand Palais, a vast glass-roofed exhibition space where models strutted
on a structure shaped like the brand’s double-C logo.
Chanel’s studio took on creative duties following the sudden departure of
Virginie Viard as artistic director in June.
Blazy was appointed last month but will not debut his first creations until
September.
The French fashion house said in a statement the show was conceived as
scenario of colours “starting at dawn and beginning again after nightfall”.
The show began with tweed suits in white, pastel yellow, aqua green or
lilac before transitioning into brighter hues and ending with evening gowns in
dark blue and black.
Suits were reimagined and modernised, while the dresses were lightweight,
crafted from muslin or satin, sometimes adorned with sequins, and ranging from
short to long.
A striking sky-blue cape worn over a short sequined dress evoked the style
of a fairy-tale princess.
The collection was paired with strappy shoes — flat and heeled — in sky
blue, lilac, white, or cream, all featuring a black pointed toe.(AFP)
