Paris Haute Couture Week always promises elegance and glamour, but this season, it was the Arab and regional models who truly stole the spotlight.
Stealing the show at the Chanel haute couture Fall 24 showcase, French-Algerian model Loli Bahia and British-Moroccan model star Nora Attal commanded attention as they graced the runway.
Loli, 21, epitomised classic Chanel sophistication in a two-piece ensemble. She wore a tailored buttoned jacket paired with a matching knee-length tweed skirt, both adorned with subtle black tassel details. Her look was completed with black ribbon bow accessories in her hair and black strappy heels, capturing the essence of timeless elegance sprinkled throughout the collection.
Nora, 25, dazzled in a stunning black jacket embellished with intricate sequin and beadwork, forming a delicate floral motif that glimmered under the runway lights. Paired with a classic knee-length black skirt, her look was completed with large black ribbon bows in her hair and black open-toe heels, showcasing Chanel’s signature blend of sophistication and modernity.
This Chanel haute couture show came just three weeks after the sudden departure of Virginie Viard, the brand’s creative director for nearly 30 years. Despite this significant change, the collection maintained its quintessential elegance, with Loli and Nora bringing it to life on the runway.
Adding to the week’s highlights, Egyptian-Moroccan-Dutch model Imaan Hammam stunned in a navy, figure-hugging dress by Schiaparelli.
Designed by Daniel Roseberry, the collection was a fan favourite embodying the bold, avant-garde spirit of the house. With a focus on bringing designs quintessential to the brand’s legacy, Daniel channelled house founder Elsa Schiaparelli and her ability to constantly innovate to create the latest line.
