WHAT WAS CHANEL THINKING? (Chanel Fall 2022 Haute Couture Roast)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 сер 2022
- The Chanel Fall 2022 Haute Couture collection was once again based on the idea of the 20th century art movement dubbed Construstivism, but what does a fashion brand that historically harbored Russian aristocracy fleeing the Bolshevik Revolution and one that charges $10,000 for a handbag know about a Soviet Union-era art movement? Well, not all that much. Virginie Viard's Chanel is certainly finding its own way in the legacy of the House of Chanel, but it is one that is somewhere in the middle of Karl Lagerfeld's fantasy-based collections and Coco Chanel's technically efficient designs.

Can we talk about how weird it is to make a russian-inspired collection after you stop selling your products in Russia? I mean, seriously, Chanel is one of the western companies that pulled out of Russia after they invaded Ukraine.
Poor Kristen Stewert - She would have to wear the black/white/red polka dot dress in some award show soon
Finally, someone telling it like it is. Every collection I’ve seen since Viard took over has left me puzzled, underwhelmed and worried for the iconic brand.
Yes, ok, historical brand references, house codes, and so on. But opting to reference a Russian-inspired collection in the current climate, especially considering Coco Chanel’s personal history… choices.
It's very tasteless to refer to Russian style as Russia is currently still occupying Ukraine.
It just reads so
They WEREN'T thinking...
It’s so weird to see the entire collection inspired by Soviet fashion trends while there were no fashion trends in Soviet Union. The only piece of fabric you could get were low quality and any decent piece of clothing was insanely expensive and almost impossible to get. My mom and grandma would learn to sew just to be able to create a decent piece of clothes. As for me, this inspiration is so weird and inappropriate given russian aggression. The quality of collection reflects the quality of inspiration behind it.
it all looked so heavy. like it was weighing down the models. thick, baggy, bulky.
I mean didn't we do constructivist in the 2010s? Dries van Noten did a collection in 2011 I think that referenced it and it was a lot more flowy and interesting because he pieced together all these wild prints and textures into a unified whole without making it look like Chicos. :D I think Chanel always looks old lady even on teenage models. Lagerfeld's Chanel was cheekier and more fun but alot of it looked like a mess--like someone had taken their mom's chanel jacket and upcycled it.
Its a haute couture collection and shes giving us ready to wear
i think calling it a mess would be the most polite way of describing this
I love watching Luke's videos. But I am hardly a student of fashion, or young (or rich) enough to be a customer. I like watching because (A) amazing wealth of knowledge, and (B) I like looking at beautiful clothes. Except for the fluffy white dress with the bolero top, I didn't see a SINGLE thing that anyone should wear. Regardless of the references and history - all of which is interesting, fashion should make the wearer look good. Most of this is just fugly ugly, and would detract, not enhance a person's body.
you are so precise. You are haute couture yourself in your capacity of requesting the best from a "maison" : creativity, quality and ... the possibility of wearing an outfit without being gaudy. Thank you very much.
Chanel never disappoints to disappoint me
I'm studying constructivism for my dissertation right now. I was SO excited to hear that it was the inspo for this year's collection... It's sad because that era/aesthetic is SO vibrant and SO interesting. But yeah, I'm with you. Disappointed.
There were a few pieces I liked in the moment and the sewing work was great but it was soooo blah that I forgot about them among the sea of expected tweed sets.
I would love to see you review collections from high street brands like Zara, Mango, & Other Stories, etc. to see how they reference what's on the runway. It's always fascinating to see what trickles down and what is genuinely original. Your Educated analysis would be amazing
As usual this was a very fair and knowledgeable commentary. For me this was an elegant collection, but also seems to be overly staid or perhaps a little too much reverence to the past? I must confess to a personal prejudice of mine, I do not like pockets over chest area. They have little utilitarian value and seem to be a less than creative way of decorating the bodice area. The one standout to me is the black gown with chevron stripes and sheer sleeves/shoulders which can also be worn by individuals of various sizes.
I don't see the drama of haute couture in this collection. After 15 minutes of watching, I thought that this was ready to wear, which would have a decent appeal to the buyers of Neiman and Nordstrom, etc and their customers. Throwing a bit of lace and crystals on boucle does not make for great haute couture. This looks more like a panic attack after thought.
