CHANEL METIERS D’ART

The essence of every Chanel Métiers d'Art collection resides in the realm of creative dialogue. This intricate interplay unfolds between the Artistic Director of the Fashion Collections, Virginie Viard, the skilled artisans at Rue Cambon's ateliers, the Maison d'Art at Le19M, and the vibrant connections forged with artists and friends of the house. This collaborative spirit extends its embrace to diverse cities, cultures, and seasons, weaving a tapestry of inspiration.

For the unveiling of the 2023/24 Métiers d'Art show, Chanel has selected the dynamic city of Manchester. Renowned for its effervescent pulse in pop culture and its avant-garde spirit, Manchester stands as a symbol of creative innovation. The city's influential bands, spanning across all genres, have indelibly shaped the course of musical history. This choice reflects Chanel's commitment to pushing artistic boundaries and engaging with the evolving landscapes of art and culture.

Infused with the dynamic pop spirit that originated in Manchester and has endured across the decades, the Chanel 2023/34 Métiers d'Art show celebrates the vibrant creative dialogue between Great Britain and the revered fashion house. This connection, cherished by Gabrielle Chanel and now embraced by the Artistic Director of the Fashion Collections, Virginie Viard, echoes through the collection.

A testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the Métiers d'Art, the collection radiates with a playful homage to British music culture and the impeccable tailoring synonymous with Chanel. The juxtaposition of autumnal and vivid hues, intricate textures, clean silhouettes, and carefree attitudes conjures a delicate yet daring femininity. Each piece is a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation, paying tribute to the rich heritage of the house while propelling it forward into new realms of artistic expression.
