Returns to live in the glorious Renaissance. And the credit goes to the Chanel Métiers D'Art Le Château des Dames fashion show. We are in the Loire Valley, in Le Château de Chenonceau. That castle (of the Ladies) which has been inhabited by extraordinary women, such as Catherine de' Medici. An exceptional woman, Catherine remains an orphan, just like Gabrielle Chanel, and grows up, like her, in a convent. Both linked to esotericism, they remain eternally linked to the color black for life.
In fact, the dominant color in the collection is black. A parade of models parades through the marbles and the wide corridors of the castle, wearing total black outfits. The garments are enlivened by sequins and geometric decorations on the fabrics. This year Virginie Viard, decides to evoke the figure of a woman strongly influential in history: Caterina De' Medici.
The particularity that characterized the event was the total absence of public, due to the emergency from Covid-19, in the presence of only one guest, the testimonial Kristen Stewart. In any case, despite the lack of magic granted by the spectators in the presence, the event was perfectly successful.
