It’s a bit jarring
for me to say that this might be
Madame Viard’s best outing yet… maybe because it’s that there are not 70 exits,
maybe it’s because there is no grandiosity of set and maybe it’s just that
there are a lot of beautiful clothes in a
finely edited collection … some of which border on
exquisite. In order to fully appreciate the clothes, one must view the short
film (www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/fall-2020-couture/chanel
) and the entire collection as it allows you to see the COLOR!

Chanel
signatures abound and if my memory serves me right, there are some of KL’s greatest
hits in there but as a whole, it’s pure Chanel for the women who eat and breathe
Chanel. My only criticisms would be the styling and the abundance of taffeta
and chiffon dresses but some were quite wonderful others rather pedestrian.

Bottom line
is simply that Virginie most definitely put her best foot forward with this collection
under the most difficult and trying circumstances of today’s world and certainly
the most trying times for those of us in fashion. No gimmicks, no tricks... just
clothes and artistry of the Chanel ateliers.
Good news, thank you Jeffrey
