Experience the pinnacle of luxury fashion as CHANEL unveils its Fall-Winter 2024/25 Haute Couture collection at the iconic Palais Garnier in Paris. This exquisite showcase, presented by the Fashion Creation Studio, merges the worlds of haute couture and opera in a stunning display of craftsmanship and elegance.

Playing a key role ever since its creation, in both the history of fashion and the House, this hotspot of performance and elegance, where everything is about glances, gazes and putting oneself on display, is today hosting the CHANEL runway show. Sophisticated, luxurious, theatrical, the collection reveals itself in the outside corridors surrounding the auditorium, transformed for the occasion into red velvet opera boxes. Usual landmarks are modified, perceptions are reversed, the experience of the Palais Garnier is renewed. A set designed by the French director Christophe Honor&eacute;.
A series of photographs by Karim Sadli offers a first glimpse of the collection&nbsp;presented by the Fashion Creation Studio.

The collection, set against the backdrop of red velvet opera boxes, features opulent materials including feathers, tassels, embroidered flowers, and luxurious fabrics. CHANEL's signature codes are infused with romantic elements, showcasing diaphanous volumes, puffed sleeves, and pleated flounces.
Delve into the rich tapestry of textures and techniques: precious braids, lacquered jersey, supple tweeds, silky velvet, illusion tulle, taffeta, and duchesse satin create a symphony of opulent materials that delicately rustle as they move. The collection imbues CHANEL's iconic designs with a theatrical flair, perfect for the grandeur of the Palais Garnier.

Highlights include a reimagined CHANEL suit in burgundy tweed trimmed with white satin, a black corduroy tuxedo paired with a white blouse featuring an embroidered plastron, and a black suit with a long culotte and a short, fitted jacket adorned with shoulders swathed in black feathers. These pieces dance among long coats, voluminous capes, and evening gowns that evoke a modernized stage tradition and a certain science of pageantry.
The color palette is a celebration of light and drama: matte, glossy, and lacquered finishes in black, gold, silver, ivory, fuchsia, pale pink, and celadon hint at the most splendid soir&eacute;es. This interplay of colors and textures creates a visual spectacle worthy of the Palais Garnier's storied halls.

As a Major Patron of the Op&eacute;ra national de Paris since 2023, Patron of the Ballet de l'Op&eacute;ra since 2021, and Patron of the dance season's Opening Gala since 2018, CHANEL's deep connection to dance is evident throughout the collection. Nods to iconic ballets such as Le Train Bleu (1924) and Apollon Musag&egrave;te (1928) - for which Gabrielle Chanel created revolutionary costumes - can be seen in the form of tutus, Pierrot outfits, and other dance-inspired pieces.

Against this vibrant backdrop, the CHANEL Fall-Winter 2024/25 Haute Couture collection showcases the technical expertise, virtuosity and sensitivity of the CHANEL Haute Couture ateliers where some 150 people work in six ateliers at 31, rue Cambon, next to the CHANEL Fashion Creation Studio and close to the Palais Garnier.
