Chanels Paris Fashion Week show for Spring/Summer 2023 featured a collection of breezy, warm-weather clothing with a nonchalant air. The collection included asymmetric styles, patchwork ensembles, and lightweight dresses with uneven hems. The models wore flip-flops and thick-framed glasses, and the audience included celebrities such as Penelope Cruz, Usher, and Jennie Kim. The show took place on the last day of Paris Fashion Week, which has drawn crowds of industry press and celebrities to the French capital.
Chanels designer, Virginie Viard, based the latest collection on Alain Resnaiss New Wave classic Last Year at Marienbad, which won the Lion dOr at the Venice film festival in 1961. The classic black chiffon cocktail dresses, ladylike polka dots, and supple, elongated evening gowns emphasized the timelessness of the Chanel aesthetic. The audience was seated cinema-style in front of a giant screen showing a montage of scenes from the film, and the models walked in front of the screen wearing clothes due to go on sale in Chanel boutiques next spring.
There is no information available on the specific materials or ingredients used in the clothing showcased at the Chanel show during Paris Fashion Week.
