Ode to the Chanel universe, with tributes to Kaiser Karl and the founder Gabrielle. Between puffed sleeves, ruffles, crosses and cinematographic quotes

For this fall / winter 2020/21 Pr&ecirc;t-&agrave;-porter collection by CHANEL, &ldquo;Almost no clothes, only jackets. Jodhpurs that open on seven-league boots, a nod to those belonging to Karl. For the first time, there are press studs on the suits for a more lively pace, &quot;says Virginie Viard. After a year at the helm of the maison and after the death of Kaiser Karl, the designer chooses to pay homage to the codes of the maison with an 80 &#39;touch and a touch of courtesan royalty. Polka dot socks, tweed shorts and crop tops, maxi musketeer boots, bold capes, blouses with pockets and open trousers on the leg, almost no clothes, if not short sheaths to wear with under the shirt, or those in bustier dresses, with puffed sleeves and a wide skirt, like the one in iridescent fabric worn by Kaia Gerber. Among the jewels, important necklaces, there are also the bibs with cameo, the micro-clutches with leather shoulder strap, the large crosses in colored crystal, Madonna style in &quot;Like a virgin&quot;. The new collection is dominated by white, black, boucl&eacute;, a few touches of mint green and the emblematic pink of the maison, which have always been considered real distinctive elements of the Chanel style. The inspiration of the show refers to Les Biches - The Fawns of Chabrol from 1968, the story of two Parisians who are both seducers and &quot;amazons&quot;, to a photo of Karl Lagerfeld wearing a striped dress with riding boots, and in last to &quot;Romantica&quot; the favorite horse of Gabrielle &quot;Coco&quot; Chanel.
