## Chanel’s Haute Couture Show in Paris
Chanel showcased a sophisticated and elegant Haute Couture collection at the Grand Palais in Paris on Tuesday. This marks the final collection crafted by the brand’s in-house creative team before the much-anticipated introduction of new artistic director Matthieu Blazy.
### Autumn/Winter 2025 Collection Highlights
For the autumn/winter 2025 season, Chanel reinvents timeless winter staples and reinterprets its classic tweed. This season, the tweed appears in various forms, including woven dresses of different lengths, long coats, and low-rise skirt and trouser ensembles adorned with sequins, feathers, and pearls.
The collection also offers lighter options, showcasing dresses and skirts made of silk or chiffon, often featuring ruffled details. Layering is a significant theme, creating intriguing styles with longer skirts worn over shorter ones, accompanied by wide belts equipped with pockets.
The palette primarily features black, beige, and white, complemented by elegant round-toe, knee-high boots.
### The Show Setting and Audience
The collection was showcased in the Salon d’Honneur, adorned with broad draped curtains and plush beige sofas, reminiscent of haute couture salons from the past century. Unlike traditional shows that are typically held in the nave of the Grand Palais, today’s event took place in this intimate setting to accommodate Brazilian artist Ernesto Neto’s monumental installation.
A-list guests included actresses Marion Cotillard and Carole Bouquet, alongside pop icons Lorde and Gracie Abrams.
### Looking Ahead
The upcoming collection will be unveiled in October during Paris Fashion Week, featuring designs by Matthieu Blazy, appointed last December. Blazy faces the challenging task of stepping into the shoes of Karl Lagerfeld, who helmed Chanel for over thirty years until his passing in 2019. The legacy has since been continued by Virginie Viard, Lagerfeld’s trusted associate.
