Bohemian wedding under the Grand Palais: CHANEL Spring-Summer 2021 Haute Couture

On January 26 at 14.00 French time, a film showing the new Chanel Spring-Summer 2021 couture collection was published.

In the new collection, Virginie Viard, creative director of Chanel, wanted to convey the atmosphere of lightness, carelessness and a family holiday arranged outside the city - everyone is set to have fun and enjoy life.

"I love big family reunions, when the generations all come together. It's so warm. There's this spirit at Chanel today. Because Chanel is also like a family." - Virginie Viard

The venue for the show is the Grand Palais des Champs-Élysées, which is located on the right bank of the Seine in Paris. For the first time in the Grand Palais, Karl Lagerfeld held a Chanel show in 2005. Since then, the fashion house shows regularly under its arches. Since the end of 2020, the palace has been closed for reconstruction for 3-4 years.
