CHANEL's 2020/21 Haute Artisan collection was launched at Chateau Chenonceau in France - the second Haute Artisan collection under creative director Virginie Viard.
In view of France's national lockdown order, this show has chosen to be released in the form of video, but it is still very bright.
For example, CHANEL chose a promenade in the castle as the runway for this launch, and the black and white chequered floor looked like a life-size board game in the video.
Models dressed in the new season's Haute Artisan collection walked gracefully in the gentle light, each piece of beauty came into view.
The show was a little special, with only one audience member -- the familiar Kristen Stewart.
The wonderful meaning of CHANEL advanced workshop is that it embodies the exquisite handicraft of dozens of CHANEL workshops.
So every single piece on the show can be called the word "heavy industry".
The show was inspired by the women of the Renaissance. The reason why I chose to hold the show at Chenonceau Castle is also because many legendary women of the Renaissance lived here.
For example, the castle's second owner, Catherine de' Medici, also known as the Renaissance Queen, and her favorite lace ruff collar, appeared on the runway in a lighter and more modern way.
At the same time, you'll see a lot of black pieces this season, which also has to do with Queen Catherine.
Because after the death of Henry II, Queen Catherine only wore black, this solemn and elegant color, but also full of new ideas in CHANEL's hands.
For example, this long black velvet jacket, which is worn open, reminds me of the heroine in the movie "Bride in Black". The fabric on the long tweed coat is accompanied by the swaying body, and there is a Milky Way of stars shining among them.
The classic black coat also has a new interpretation, interspersed in the details to give it a new life.
The overlapping of different textures and lines also makes the deep black more layered, and the real penetration is full.
This season, you can also see a lot of mesh elements, which is also a frequent element in Queen Catherine's clothing, and is also a nod to CHANEL's classic diamond.
Jewelry is also a highlight of the season, a variety of gems and pearls hidden in the hair, pouring down the neck, so that jewelry has become part of the clothing, luxury with a little casual feeling.
Of course, these final perfect presentation can not be separated from the exquisite craftsmanship of CHANEL high-end workshop, and the exquisite details are amazing.
The just mentioned black, under the careful creation of Lemarie camellia and feather shop, like a blossoming of camellia in the dark night, is very vivid.
Simple dresses and coats, in fact, hidden delicate double C and camellia patterns, telling the charm of high fashion.
A lot of jewelry elements can also be seen on the new season's bags, which are transformed into shining pieces of art in the hands of skilled craftsmen in senior workshops.
