But it might just prove there is such a thing as too much.
So it's always a bit surprising when the creative director commits to a theme, as she did for Fall 2022. The latest Chanel collection is centered around tweed — "infinite tweed," to be more precise — the house's signature fabric used on everything from bags to skirt suits. The trouble with tweed, though, is that it can be bulky, especially when layered together,Chanel has proven that tweedbe cool and even a little sexy, whether done up in pastel brights or mini-skirted sets.
It's a shame, because there are truly great pieces in here. Despite the tweed theme, Viard does some great work with leather, especially in a trench style and a pair of chocolate brown cropped pants. The robe coat that opens the show is gorgeous, a nod at the past that still feels very modern. The knits are fun, especially the oversized cardigans which will look even better broken up with a pair of jeans.
