For CHANELofficiaI's latest Métiers d’Art collection, Virginie Viard drew inspiration from glamorous ’70s-era power dressing and disco.
In 2022, the pre-fall season—the in-between collections that rarely get as much attention as their fall and spring counterparts—made history. For its Métiers d’Art 2023 show, Chanel became the first European or US-based luxury house to ever put on a runway show in Sub-Saharan Africa, taking its pre-fall wears to Dakar, the capital of Senegal.
The robust programming could have overshadowed the clothing—which Chanel’s show notes described as inspired by “the pop-soul-fun-disco-punk decade” of the ’70s—but Virginie Viard staged a boho-focused collection that had the crowd on its feet. Proenza Schouler, meanwhile, used the pre-season as an opportunity to rethink its everyday, well-made, wearable garments. And at Diesel, Glenn Martens continued to push the envelope of what denim can do, firmly cementing his place in the house’s canon.
