CHANEL has unveiled its Fall/Winter 2021/22 haute ready-to-wear collection.

This big show still chose to release in the form of video, but as always, it is very bright.

Since the Grand Palais, which has always been a venue for publishing, is being closed for renovation, Virginie Viard, creative director of Chanel's fine department, has revealed the mystery of a very different style of the new season's launch venue - Club Castel. It is a place made up of many salons, as well as winding stairs and bars.

Here, models walk elegantly in the dark wearing the new season's Fall/Winter 2021/22 haute ready-to-wear collection.

The models were doing a show for themselves, walking from room to room, crisscrossing the stairs, leaving their coats in the cloakroom and going upstairs to change.

They were lit up and the brand new CHANEL pieces were revealed.

Warm brown, black, grey and white remain the main tones, punctuated by peach, pink purple, navy and yellow, adding vitality to the collection.

As we all know, for CHANEL, even if it is the location of each show, it is enough to cause the expectation of fashion fans.

So, the interesting thing is, why Club Castel this time? What is the meaning behind this?

The Castel Club was founded by Jean Castel in the 1960s. It can be said that it represents the epitome of Paris nightlife. Celebrities such as Francoise Hardy, Francoise Sagan, Amanda Lear and Mick Jagger are all loyal fans.

Of course, in a conversation with us, Virginie Viard described how she chose the idea here

"I like to move through it, like it feels like a home style. It's like having a girls' night at home. It's very emotional."

"It's like the launch Karl once described to me." Yes, it was the glamorous' 70s.

So at the launch, we will see a scene like this:

Behind the curtain, the girls are applying lipstick in front of the mirror, playing with their hair and accessories, making final preparations for the launch.

As the music played, beautiful women dressed in CHANEL's classic style entered a black door one after another.

Subsequently, Virginie Viard's design language is also a perfect reproduction of that extremely charming and exquisite era.

Chanel's contrast element

How to understand the design language this time?

"I love contrast, so I wanted to create winter works with a sense of quantity in a small space."

Virginie Viard used this phrase to describe the style of the whole show.

And she also handed over the perfect answer sheet, every single piece on the show, are full of inspiration brought by contrast.

The contrast of color, the contrast of light, the sense of weight and lightness, the contrast between material and work are everywhere.

And these are the brightest elements of CHANEL in the new season.

First, the ski holiday style.

For example, you will have noticed that boots have become the mainstream this season, and curly fur boots are the most iconic pieces. But the Virginie Viard's clever contrast in materials breaks the impression that these boots are relatively bulky.

There are also two-tone down boots, which can be removed through a zipper to transform into silver high-heeled ankle boots that can be worn to the dance.
