Sculpted Couture

Chanel’s Spring-Summer 2023 Haute Couture Collection showcases embroideries of exquisite lightness.

Inspired by the mythical animal sculptures inside Gabrielle Chanel’s apartment at 31, rue Cambon, in Paris, the Spring Summer 2023 Haute Couture collection imagined by Virginie Viard reveals embroideries of exquisite lightness. Models emerge from inside wooden sculptures created by artist Xavier Veilhan.

       Angèle, Vanessa Paradis, Xavier Veilhan, G-Dragon and Tilda Swinton, were among the guests gathered at the Grand Palais Éphémère in Paris for the CHANEL Spring-Summer 2023 Haute Couture collection imagined by Virginie Viard and inspired by the bestiary of drawings and sculptures inside Gabrielle Chanel’s apartment. The minimalist decor was brought to life by Xavier Veilhan’s mobile sculptures made of wood, cardboard and paper.

       From his Parisian studio to the Grand Palais Éphémère, artist Xavier Veilhan muses on the dreamlike animal sculptures that inhabit the CHANEL Spring-Summer 2023 Haute Couture show decor. The bestiary marries his artistic universe with the symbols of Gabrielle Chanel’s apartment at 31, rue Cambon, in Paris.

       Larger-than-life, an imaginary bird created by the artist Xavier Veilhan alights in the rue Cambon, in Paris, revealing a first look at the CHANEL Spring-Summer 2023 Haute Couture collection imagined by Virginie Viard and embodied by model Vivienne Rohner.
