It’s been a season full of couture shows taking place in the great outdoors, and Chanel was no exception. For its fall 2023 haute couture presentation, the label took guests on a journey just beyond the Eiffel Tower where, on the old cobblestone pathway near the Seine, the house debuted a collection that riffed on all the signature elements of “French girl style”—with essentials ranging from tweed coats to sequined midi skirts and little black dresses.
The collection opened with a series of floor-length jackets bearing buttons, sequins, and textured tweeds. Creative director Virginie Viard is known for her subtle approach toward reinterpreting Chanel’s house codes; here, she took a similar direction by paying tribute to a rotating stable of her favorite silhouettes. The go-to Chanel girls—Riley Keough, Margaret Qualley, Camila Morrone and Clémence Poésy—watched the show unfold from the front row.
Models carried wicker baskets full of flowers and walked a dog down the runway, adding a whimsical touch to the collection. Layered and hyper-realistic floral sequins on tiered dresses; shining appliqués with fruit motifs embedded in intricate crochets and knits; pristine boater hats; a pink belted coat dress, and one golden embossed skirt suit had a distinctly youthful feel.
