Description

The House of CHANEL offers rare access behind the scenes to three Haute Couture runway shows that were designed in dialogue with contemporary artist Xavier Veilhan. Virginie Viard, artistic director for Chanel's Fashion collections, entrusted Xavier Veilhan with the set design for three consecutive Haute Couture shows: Spring-Summer 2022, Fall-Winter 2022/23, and Spring-Summer 2023. This unusually long dialogue resulted in an original visual universe, blending Veilhan’s poetic imagination, his reinterpretation of the Chanel world, and the infinite delicacy of Virginie Viard’s Haute Couture creations. This retrospective transports readers behind the scenes to observe each stage of the creative work at the origin of the shows. The book includes preparatory drawings, extracts from the films and teasers, photographs of the sets and the runway shows, and details of the embroidery, fabrics, and patterns of the Haute Couture creations. Exclusive images take readers inside the Chanel Haute Couture ateliers, revealing the design process and exceptional savoir faire at their core.
