As fashion month wraps up, and the adrenaline we’re all running on wears thin, showgoers are naturally a little more deflated. For many, the end of the schedule slot is not ideal for this very reason\u2014a tired crowd is a tough one. And when you compound this with the unexpected heat (was I the only one who packed three coats that never left the hotel?) and the ungodly traffic and there’s not a lot that could pull us out of the end-of-week daze. But from the first look at Chanel’s Spring\/Summer 2024 collection<\/a>, the house breathed life into a weary room.<\/p>\n

A breezy plunging tweed caftan with layers of jewels and black-and-gold chain-adored glasses opened the show. And speaking of things we weren’t prepared for, thongs. Simple and minimalist in black velvet with a silver interlocking ‘C’ logo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Florals have always been a defining code for Chanel\u2014the Fall\/Winter 2023 show<\/a> was actually based around the emblematic Camellia flower. But for Spring\/Summer 2024, Virginie Viard reimagined the Grand Palais \u00c9ph\u00e9m\u00e8re as the gardens of Villa Noailles<\/a>, a masterpiece of modernist architecture overlooking the town of Hy\u00e8res in the south of France where checkerboard hedges and bright, tiled floors accessorise a serene structure. These features were referenced in the clothes, too, with a few checkerboard embroidered pieces and coral pink and blue tones making a splash throughout. At the venue, photos of model Rianne Van Rompaey captured by Inez & Vinoodh at the locale established the inspiration.<\/p>\n

As Viard wrote in her show notes, the collection was “an ode to liberty and to movement, and tells a story that has its origins in the gardens of the villa Noailles.”<\/p>\n
