Chanel | Haute Couture Spring Summer 2023 | Full Show 

Let him rest in peace!

It's true!!!!

I agree, the street style look and the boyish feel is totally dead.

💯🤦🏼‍♀️

Absolutely agree. Your comparisons of this show with Dior (negative) and Armani (positive) are very apt.

👏💯

👍

Соглашусь полностью. Ужасная колекция.

🤣 U know a collection's terrible when the first compliment, (post-show), is for the Set.

@@re7416 actually I'm always biased towards sets lols. I'm a scenery person. And compared to most of the collections I've seen recently these are nice and wearable. I like them.

Haha, it's couture

@@andresalvaradoortega7469 I know

@@user-jj7lh3qh5q i undestood your sarcastic coment🤣🤣🤣

Вы правы,тоска.

It's called ELEGANCE

@@Jerry-tk6ii lol you can be elegant with Zara too. We ask a bit much than just elegance to a patrimonial fashion houses Like Dior and Chanel. We ask innovation, we ask culture, we ask art, we ast history. But yeah, I suppose we have the customer that we deserve....

@@dnb8835 I don't think you shop at Dior or Chanel, start there 😅

@@Jerry-tk6ii You right I don't shop there, I just worked for the both for more that 15 years lol, and earn lot of thier Idem from Karl and Galliano and Raf... Yes today, my money is for young emerging designers with others values than just capitalistic bullshits. But yeah, you seem to live with the fantasy of what these Companies are... Once it was about art and innovation. Now it's just about money. You will be really suprised on the real price of a lot of these stuff nowaday.

@@cosmefulanitoo2625 I can enjoy fashion from a distance the same way people enjoy other forms of art that are lionized. People appreciate Klimt, Stradivarius, Rodin, Tiffany, Lloyd Wright, etc, even though they may never see one up close, let alone own one. Who asked you to stand at the gate?

@@cosmefulanitoo2625 I've done just fine doing that my entire life....I appreciate your permission though.

The couture is an art form, yes. And you are correct that it doesn’t have to be so extreme to be seen as ridiculous. However, Virginie is a woman designing for women. The quality of fabrication, the craftsmanship, and all the applied arts of the craft are seen here. There’s a fine line between fashion and fashion victim. This collection along with her past collections to date are giving her customers what appeals to them. They are the ultimate arbiters of what works or not. Fashion has to sell. It can’t be just for editorials, or the acclaim of fashion historians. This collection is beautiful and based in reality. That has always been the ethos @Chanel.

@@ewat4753 What you're describing makes perfect sense for ready-to-wear. I have been quite impressed with how approachable and youthful she's made the aesthetic.....but this is couture. Its not about commercialism, its not about return on investment (in a direct way), its not about mass appeal....its purely a display of what a house CAN do. Its marketing. Marketing has to sing. This doesn't sing. Do women buy couture? Yes. But for these prices, they're trusting Chanel and Virginie to create something for them bespoke. If you want those women to continue that relationship you have to inspire them to keep their many thousands of dollars at Chanel and not at some of the more innovative houses like Schaiparelli (age old rivals).

It took me a while to realize that the House of Chanel exist within their own universe, meaning Chanel sets, follows, and establishes their own themes, codes and vocabulary outside of what other design houses are doing. And once I accepted that I started seeing Chanel with a different mindset, and was able to really see how Chanel keeps evolving clothes that are part of the vocabulary of the house, exclusive to Chanel. I have watched several of the videos here about the making of the haute couture collections at Chanel, and the work and craftsmanship that goes into making the clothes is unbelievable and truly amazing that everything is all handmade is mind-blowing. But aside from the beauty and craftsmanship of Chanel haute couture, and also with the ready to wear collections, since Virginie has taken over, it feels like she has erased all the fun, humor and the whimsy from Chanel. It misses that element of magic and fantasy spirit that was Karl Lagerfeld . Rather it was ready to wear shows or couture shows his sets always seemed to enhance the collections. The space ship, the grocery store, etc, his imagination never stopped.

They'll probably get rid of her as soon as the balance sheet turns red

I love see Alessandro Michele in chanel

She's smart. There's only around 200 Couture consumers worldwide by 2022. Maria and Virginie are doing exactly the right thing, not wasting their time on Haute Couture line

@@slchen3874 that's exactly the opposite of smart. If you don't wanna invest on the "200" customers, then just don't do show. This is waste of resources, Time, money, fabrics...etc. If they really don't care then this doesn't make sense even more. Also please do not include both of them in one category. She needs million years to reach 10% of what Maria achieved. We might not like what Maria is doing for Dior but at least she is doing something. While Chanel now is blank, empty, just nothing.

@@njtyan7297 haute couture is now performed not for the 200ish costumers who can buy the stuff in the shows, its for the fashion reporters.

@@DAYBROK3 Not exactly... Haute couture is an advertisement of the craft and savoir faire of these house. Do you think people will still buy thier overpriced perfumes and bags if they didn't have the legitimaty of history and craft? HC is just an gigantic advertisement for the brand, the same way that they dress celebrity for the red carpet. They don't really sell these gown to real customers. It's just advertisement.

for ready to wear yeah, this is couture…

Little bow make them look like strippers or waiters.

JA JA
