“Geometric shapes made me want contrasts, a great lightness and a lot of freshness: ethereal dresses that float as if suspended. Lots of flounces, fringes, macramé, bright lace, iridescent tweeds, colourful jewelled buttons.” says Virginie Viard

Femininity too, with a pink tweed jacket with white stripes, straps composed of white braid embroidered with beads or silver chains, two-tone Mary-Janes with heels inspired by the 1920s revisited via the 1980s, and finely geometric embroidery, as if echoing the d&eacute;cor. All of the House of CHANEL&#39;s embroidery partners collaborated on <a href="https://lofficielbaltics.com/fashion-week/chanel-spring-summer-2022-haute-couture-collection" target="_blank">this collection</a>, &ldquo;one of whose key pieces is a dress entirely embroidered by Lesage with constructivist camellias in black, white and coral beads, worn with a little black jacket&rdquo;, Virginie Viard points out before concluding: &ldquo;These references also belong to Gabrielle Chanel, of course. It&#39;s like a conversation that crosses time.&rdquo;
