This year's Chanel Métiers d'art show was very appropriately held at Le 19M, the beautiful space which acts as the headquarters for around 600 of the house's Métiers d'art employees. "It's a vast, very open space, with a façade adorned with threads of white concrete, a garden, beautiful walkways, and a large gallery where exhibitions will also be held," explained creative director Virginie Viard in her press notes.
The show began with a film by dancer and choreographer Dimitri Chamblas, and Viard then went on to present what she called a "very metropolitan yet sophisticated" collection, which saw tweed jackets paired with sweatshirts and Bermuda shorts created in traditional knitted wool, while the final bridal look was a sequin trouser co-ord.
"Many of the embroideries are inspired by the structure of the building itself, such as those by Montex, which are very graphic and in silver sequins," she explained.
After the show, Chanel continued to tell the story of these artisans. Small groups of guests accompanied by models wearing looks from the collection were be able to enter some of the ateliers to discover the world and the exceptional savoir-faire that happens inside.
