Virginie Viard's latest Chanel collection offers a Parisian night out at one of the city's legendary clubs.

<p>As the <a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/fashion-week/chanel-haute-couture-french-wedding-collection-2021-all-the-looks" target="_blank">Grand Palais</a> undergoes renovations, <a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/Fashion/charlotte-casiraghi-is-the-new-face-of-chanel" target="_blank">Chanel&rsquo;s</a> runway moves to a more intimate setting, the Castel nightclub, which has been a haunt of Francoise Hardy, Mick Jagger, and more. As a nod to the past, when models did their own makeup backstage and dressed themselves, Virginie Viard wanted to capture that sense of camaraderie in the close space, as she imagined &ldquo;the models doing a show for themselves, going from room to room, crossing each other in staircases, piling their coats up in the cloakroom, and going up to the next floor to get changed.&rdquo;</p>

<p>For this girl&rsquo;s night out, contrast and layering is the focus. The Fall/Winter 2021 collection features calf-length coats in tweed, a number of puffers, and also faux-fur lined jackets. Underneath this hefty outerwear are mini sweater dresses and bodysuits with sheer chiffon. Even the footwear can shed a layer, as a &ldquo;down jacket&rdquo; like leg can be unzipped to reveal party-ready heeled booties.</p>
