Chanel’s 2021/22 Métiers d'art Collection
Since 2002, the CHANEL Métiers d’art collection has been an annual rendezvous that pays tribute to the virtuoso hands of fashion
The 2020-2021 Métiers d'art collection was described by Virginie Viard, Artistic Director of the Fashion collections at CHANEL as “very metropolitan yet sophisticated,” with tweed jackets with sweatshirt sleeves, graffiti-style embroidery in coloured beads by Lesage, voluminous purple or royal blue knit Bermuda short-outfits, and casual coats worn open.”
The collection was presented in le19M, an immense space imagined by CHANEL and designed by architect Rudy Ricciotti to welcome the House's artisan partners - Embroiderers Lesage and Atelier Montex, the goldsmith Goossens, the hatter Maison Michel, the feather worker Lemarié, the pleater Lognon, and the shoemaker Massaro.
Many of the embroideries of collection were inspired by the structure of the building itself, such as those by Montex, which are very graphic and in silver sequins.
In terms of accessories, two-tone beige and black Mary-Janes with heels adorned with large pearls at the top, and long gloves in leather, worn with a mix of jewellery.
