Paris Fashion Week: Keira Knightley with her husband, Michelle Williams and Vittoria Ceretti at the Chanel show

As part of Paris Fashion Week, the new couture collection of the Chanel fashion house, which recently lost its creative director, was shown. The brand's design team held a show at the Paris Opera, which was attended by Keira Knightley with her husband, the lead singer of the Klaxons group James Righton, who rarely appear in public together, Michelle Williams, Caroline de Maigret and other guests.

The fall couture collection show was opened by Italian top model and Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti. She walked the runway in a white bodysuit with a black cape with a high collar. The brand's creative team also presented signature tweed suits and coats, dresses with frills, flounces and bows, capes with ruffles and corsets with crystals. The show was closed by the model's appearance in a traditional wedding look. Compared to the previous Chanel cruise show, which fashion critics called a failure, the new collection received more positive reviews. reviews.

This is the first show of the Chanel fashion house without a creative director. After the death of Karl Lagerfeld in 2019, who headed the brand since 1983, the leadership of Chanel was taken over by the designer's "right hand" Virginie Viard. In recent years, she has often been criticized for releasing unsuccessful collections. Viard left the post of creative director at the beginning of this summer.

The brand has not yet introduced a new designer, but the network is predicting this position for Hedi Slimane, who worked at Dior, Yves Saint Laurent and currently heads Celine, Pierpaolo Piccioli, who recently left Valentino after 25 years, and even John Galliano, who seems to be doing well at Maison Margiela.
