Chanel is celebrating timeless wardrobe staples with its newest Fall/Winter 2022 Haute Couture collection, which builds on the themes first introduced for the Chanel Spring/Summer 2022 capsule. Pioneered by designer Virginie Vard, the collection focuses on elegant silhouettes like long-length gowns, tweed suits, baggy trousers, and pleated dresses. Cowboy boots have been exceptionally popular with Gen-Z and contemporary fashion brands, and Chanel incorporates the footwear style into the new collection and offers it alongside a line of long skirts.
The collection relies heavily on neutral tones, contrasting them with pops of green and pink throughout the range. A standout piece is a pale pink skirt and cropped jacket set that uses an open-knit fabric and pockets for easy carrying. Interested parties can rewatch the runway show and visit the Chanel website for updates surrounding the collection’s launch.
