Chanel’s Virginie Viard Gave Her Interpretation of the ’80s at PFW
The decade that some loathe to re-create and others cherish made a comeback on the Chanel fall 2020 runway, at Paris Fashion Week. Virginie Viard, in her sixth collection for the French house since Karl Lagerfeld‘s passing, referenced the 1980s multiple times on her runway—which Kaia Gerber and Gigi Hadid walked. Models wore slouchy, two-tone leather boots in chestnut brown and black with most of the looks. Gold chains and semi-precious colored stones decorated sweaters and acted as belts for wide-leg white pants, sleeves and shoulders were puffy and pumped-up. The dress selection was slim and focused, mostly in black, and mostly in fabrications of velvet and silk toile. Coats, meanwhile, were spectacular—and sheer tights had tiny double-C’s embroidered onto them. See all the ’80s-esque looks from the Grand Palais, here.
