Paris Haute Couture Week was held behind closed doors, with Chanel as the (digital) star. Routine at the Grand Palais was almost restored.<\/h4>\n

Some traditions deserve to be upheld, and the Chanel fashion show under the glass dome of the Grand Palais, Tuesday of Paris\u2019s Haute Couture week, is one of them. On 26 January 2021, there was no congestion blocking the Champs-Elys\u00e9es, no crowds scrambling for front row seats, no photographers and no starlets. Naturally. In place of the usual clamour, Chanel provided a moment of pure grace for its Spring-Summer 2021 show. Virginie Viard, the brand\u2019s creative director who took over from Karl Lagerfeld in 2019, has mastered the classics in order to better reinvent them. In the almost deserted space (in light of current events) under the legendary glass roof, the show took on a more intimate dimension, watched by ambassadors and friends of the House Pen\u00e9lope Cruz, Marion Cotillard, Vanessa Paradis, Caroline de Maigret, Alma Jodorowsky, Lily-Rose Depp, Iz\u00efa Higelin and Joana Preiss. A slow procession down the stairs to start, the reassuring sight of the Chanel signature looks, including the black\/white association, the lace, the camellia and the tweed.<\/p>\n
