Soon, Kristen Stewart will therefore lend her features to Diana's hieratic expressions, in Spencer. A thread - of tweed - connects the two icons, since several outfits will be signed Chanel, silhouettes that have entered pop culture since they were adopted by the Princess of Wales.

Romantic-Renaissance inspiration

The show imagined by Virginie Viard, artistic director of the Fashion collections of Chanel, drew its inspiration from the very place of its presentation. The floral embroidery on the lapels of the jackets evoked the surrounding flower gardens, and the shades of warm shades of a tweed cape recalled the tapestries of the castle. Virginie Viard likes everything to mix, " all time, between Renaissance and romanticism, rock and something very girlish, all very Chanel". Long black lace dress in guipure and studded stitching, black capelines, damask bustiers, and the essential two-tone sandals for the occasion, wedges and adorned with silver sequins, black tapered boots with high heels: the collection was also bewitching, timeless, eternal. For Kristen Stewart, " Modernity is evident in the way the silhouettes reposition the classic take on how a woman should dress to be seen as elegant or regal. Again, Virginie's work is daring, you feel. let her have fun". The actress too, who took advantage of this exclusivity to draw some Polaroids from the experience.

The game of "Chateau des Dames"

For Virginie Viard, the choice of Chenonceau was essential: its interior architecture, with the black and white checkerboard gallery where the collection was presented, harmonized with the tones of the season. Black and white, Gabrielle Chanel's favorite colors, adorned the rare and precious creations made by the 38 craft houses, whose existence is perpetuated by the support of Maison Chanel. Without the support of the group belonging to the Wertheimer family, some of these gems of know-how, guarantors of French luxury (luxury whose exports currently represent more than 50 billion euros per year), could probably not continue. For almost twenty years, this parade out of time and the fashion calendar has paid tribute to the craftsmen who have contributed to the influence of the Maison Chanel. And in this singular atmosphere with a theatrical atmosphere - some would say "neo-ghostly" - the millennials will have been able to find their "Bella", more mature, with assumed adult sensuality, but always enigmatic.
