With that certain "je-ne-sais-quoi" that makes all the difference, the Chanel girls paraded in front of the Seine and the Eiffel Tower. Gracefully and effortlessly enhancing the eternal myth of the Parisian woman.

Undoubtedly, the bridges of the City of Light have become the new guest stars of Parisian fashion shows. After Louis Vuitton, Kenzo (during Men's Fashion Week), and Alaïa (on Sunday evening), it's now Chanel's turn to present its autumn-winter 2023-2024 Haute Couture collection at the Port de la Conférence, on a quay framed by the Pont des Invalides (on the left) and the Pont de l'Alma (on the right). Bateaux-mouches glide along the Seine, and the guests of the Chanel show stroll past a display of booksellers showcasing painted posters of the house's friends and ambassadors. It's a picturesque setting, an iconic image of a Paris that we are not accustomed to seeing like this anymore (except, perhaps, in the series Emily in Paris). On the colorful cobblestones, the star-studded guest list - including Charlotte Casiraghi, Sofia Coppola, Carole Bouquet, Clémence Poésy, director George Lucas, Maïwenn, Margaret Qualley, artist JR, and more - strike poses for the photographers.


Parisian Muses

Vanessa Paradis, wearing a strappy jumpsuit and golden ankle boots, is also present, her long blonde hair flowing in the wind. She is the muse of this fashion show dedicated to the Parisian woman, with her uniquely charming, sophisticated yet carefree, romantic and bohemian allure. Above all, she is a cinematic figure, walking through the City of Light, leaving a hint of mystery in her wake. To further emphasize the theme, another embodiment of the Parisian woman opens the show: Caroline de Maigret, wearing an ultra-long navy blue tweed coat with ruby-colored jewel buttons, a perfect symbol of French chic. She is followed by Loli-Bahia, the model seen in Jeanne du Barry, wearing a red officer's jacket while holding a dog on a leash. There is no doubt, we are truly in Paris.

Delicate flowers and wild fruits

Françoise Hardy's hit song "VIP" can be heard as the girls parade, donning boater hats, black and gold Mary Jane shoes, and wicker baskets overflowing with bouquets of flowers. "Playing with oppositions and contrasts, nonchalance and elegance, is about walking a line between strength and gentleness, which at Chanel, we call 'allure'," explains Virginie Viard, the artistic director of the house, in her statement dedicated to the collection. These Parisian women exude allure, with their long hair or chignons adorned with loose strands, dressed in high-waisted tweed trousers and delicately embroidered tank tops featuring flowers and wild fruits.


Romantic chic

Indeed, they are called Anna Ewers, Jill Kortleve, Mona Tougaard, Vittoria Ceretti... but these stunning girls from all over the world magically embody the charm of Paris. There's a touch of Stéphane Audran - Karl Lagerfeld's muse - Jane Birkin, and Vanessa Paradis in each of them, a romantic, chic, and bohemian quality. They stroll in black and white, occasionally punctuated with bursts of pink and red, along the banks of the Seine. Graceful and spirited, they wear lightweight blouses cinched with golden tweed skirts, transitioning from an ecru suit with black tights to striped tennis pants and men's waistcoats, blossoming in beautiful ruffled black petticoats and long dresses adorned with embroidered roses and strawberries, enhanced with tulle.

The traditional bride is also a beautiful young lady in an organza gown embroidered with sequins, pearls, and rhinestones, accentuated by a delicate bow collar and a fine veil. France Gall's duet with Elton John, singing "Donner pour donner," can be heard, gracefully concluding a haute couture collection that allowed us to reconnect, if only for a moment, with the somewhat forgotten magic of Paris.
