A large BIRDCAGE held fashions sporting Chanel’s newest garments at its present for Paris vogue week on October 1st. The exhibit within the Grand Palais had all of the hallmarks of the 114-year-old vogue home: sophistication, skirt fits and even somewhat black gown. But on the finish there was no designer to take the applause. In June Virginie Viard, Chanel’s inventive director since 2019, stepped down. Ms Viard was solely the third particular person to carry the position. She took over from Karl Lagerfeld, a sharp-tongued German who held the position for 36 years and as soon as known as sweatpants “an indication of defeat”. Mr Lagerfeld’s predecessor was Coco Chanel.
