This ability to react quickly is crucial, Bolton said in a recent conversation. Sixteen years ago, give or take a week or two, Chanel staged its second-ever cruise show in Los Angeles. Like “Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty” in 2011, “A Line of Beauty” comes not long after the death of the designer. Virginie Viard evoked a picture of an easy-living French vacationa casual summer walk around a Chanel wardrobe, lightly inspired (more later) by the Villa Noailles in the south of. The esteemed Japanese architect Tadao Ando captured some of Lagerfeld’s “creative dynamism” in his design for the museum’s Tisch Gallery by creating what Bolton describes as a “maze,” constructed using the curves and lines that were the building blocks of Lagerfeld’s work. These will examine such dualities as feminine and masculine, romantic and military, and rococo and classical, among others. In order to consider designs for Chloé, Fendi, and Chanel, there are further subsections within the main straight/curved divide.

Like so many others this season, she opened with variations on black, white and gray. “I find it reassuring and familiar, I like its softness and its strength.”Ī taste for propagating a contemporary realness around Chanel’s enviable Frenchness is more Viard’s thing. “The camellia is more than a theme, it’s an eternal code of the house,” she said in her press release. Viard had organized a giant symbolic white camellia as a set, and had a real one placed on every guest’s seat, but she wasn’t pressing the anniversary angle. Was a consciousness of centenary of the Chanel camellia in the back of Virginie Viard’s mind when she picked it as the center-piece of her fall ready-to-wear show? She first pinned one of the blooms on a dress in 1923. Perhaps that’s one reason that Coco Chanel cultivated them as one of the signifiers of her house. The camellias are out in Paris-ever the first optimistic sign of spring, despite this week’s frigid weather.
