Get an exclusive look at Chanel‘s innovative Fall 2025 couture fashion show from the runways of Paris Couture Fashion Week, held in June 2024.
Chanel’s Night at the Opera
Virginie Viard may have already taken her final bow at Chanel, but the community of celebrity muses she cultivated during her run as creative director hasn’t gone anywhere. In the front row at the Palais Garnier opera house sat Naomi Campbell, Keira Knightley, Greta Gerwig, and many more, as if to say that all eyes should remain on Chanel during its moment of creative transition.
The Fall 2024 couture collection designed by the house’s studio team nodded to the operatic location while playing it understandably close to signature design codes. Embellished tweed jackets are adorned with aristocratic ruffles, a bit reminiscent of some of Karl Lagerfeld’s more rococo moments at the house. The Victorian drama extended across capes and tutus, too, but was balanced by a new spirit of proportionality and subtle experimentation. The new age of Chanel is upon us, beginning with this night at the opera.
