Forum Members Review Chanels Pre-Fall 2024 Collection, Staged in Manchester
As spoken back in July, Chanel has flocked to the municipality of Manchester in the North of England to stage its yearly Métiers d’Art collection. Previous locations for the triumph of the iconic French malleate house’s savoir-faire hodgepodge have included Moscow, Dallas, Rome, and Hamburg while last year’s showcase spectacular was held in Dakar. Following a show staged in Edinburgh when in 2012, Chanel has ventured when onto UK soil for 2023, welcoming the malleate pack into the Northern Quarter of Manchester. Staged on a unprepossessed and rainy December night, models paraded Virginie Viard’s latest creations up and lanugo pub-lined Thomas Street, rocking an variety of designs which paid homage to the Northern English municipality – from its mercantile history in textile manufacturing to its rich musical legacy.
Scroll remoter to read the opinions of theFashionSpot’s unfiltered forum members, regarding Virginie Viard’s latest outing as Chanel creative director:
“There are unquestionably some cute pieces here and there.”
“This hodgepodge is pretty cohesive as far as silhouettes and material usage go. Usually Viard’s collections are a mish-mash of random crap. Usually a runway with looks of just only what could be salvaged. Viard finally put out a whole hodgepodge of non-ugly silhouettes. Chanel – of all brands – should never show a bad silhouette.”
“It’s fine. I can see why longtime stans would hate post-Lagerfeld Chanel, but this is very much still Chanel.”
“Can you image what Karl would have washed-up if he were to present in Manchester? Chanel football tackiness = yummy! Instead, we get this drab, vintage Burberry with Chanel tweed. Such a missed opportunity from Viard, again.”
“It’s not my cup of tea but this is a good hodgepodge by Virginie’s standards. I just finger like we are missing the spirit of Métiers d’Art, which was really a underpass between couture and RTW.” You may also read this: Top Trends in the Latest Jumpsuits
“Having all the looks paired with unappetizing shoes is one of the vilest things I have overly seen in fashion. Disgusting. The silhouettes are definitely largest but the prints and some colors choices are as unchangingly a disgrace.”
“To send the same cookie-cutter tweed suits they could very well have stayed in Paris. The only unconfined Manchester thing here is Karen Elson walking for Chanel again.”
