Chanel stages wedding themed haute couture SS21 show at Paris’ Grand Palais
Chloe Street
Most people planning a spring 2021 wedding will have been forced to cancel their plans, but not Chanel.
Today the brand unveiled a celebratory spring/summer 2021 Haute Couture collection via a runway show at the glass-domed nave of Paris’ Grand Palais.
The show took place in a flower-strewn round space, surrounded with chairs and flower arches, and was captured on video by Dutch photographer, filmmaker and graphic designer Anton Corbijn.
"I knew… that we would have to invent something else, so I came up with the idea of a small cortege that would come down the stairs of the Grand Palais and pass beneath arches of flowers. Like a family celebration, a wedding…” Chanel’s creative director Virginie Viard explained in the show notes.
