Chanel Haute Couture F/W 2021.22 Paris

Virginia definitely has an eye for the most unflattering proportions you could ever imagine.

Repugnant taste in colours as well. Surely, it's a talent at this stage.

There’s a fantastic embroidered jacket in there, and I feel like the wedding dress is the most radical thing Virginie has done at Chanel so far (not that the dress itself is). That’s as much as I can say, really.

A lot of times I look for feedback on here to check if I'm depressed or if everything is srsly that awful for me to lack any sort of emotional response. Thank you for the validation everyone

Everything is so bulky.

A master-class about how to turn Haute Couture into "Hideous Couture".

To be honest, after watching the video and seeing the details, I can say this is better than Christian Dior, if only for the French "allure" which Maria Grazia seems to be philosophically and aesthetically opposed to with every fibre of her being.

Chanel knows how to capitalise on the whole Paris/Parisienne aesthetic all too well, and thankfully they do, because these days you see increasingly less links to Paris and to Haute Couture cultural history in the collections. Call me a traditionalist, but in my opinion these Maison's have a certain responsibility toward promoting French (Couture) culture and Virginie seems to be the only designer in Paris doing that. Maria Grazia, Pierpaolo, Giorgio, and even Kim are all in a sense advancing the idea of Italian Alta Moda, which is not the same thing, exquisite as it may be.

As underwhelming as this may be, this is still Chanel Haute Couture, and I will take Virginie's aesthetic over any other of the shows thus far.

her selling-like-crazy Le Château des Dames collection gives her confidence to mess up couture with some junior prom aesthetic.......

but I have to say it's not her worst couture with some silhouettes and Karl's touch, and definitely much better that the sh*t Dior made

Boring, Uninspired, and redundant clothing. The least that MGC and VV could do is bring in a cast of girls to bring life into the collection. Instead they hire these wispy, fragile, quiet beauties that simply do not do anything to elevate the already drab clothing. Versace, A Wang, MK and even MJ get it. Crap clothes but bring in some decent girls and it elevates everything. It atleast makes the collection memorable.

I'm disappointed by Chanel at this point. To think this is the top tier high fashion house...

Oh dear lord. By no means I want to be a hater, because Virginie is such a nice woman, but omg she has the most terrible eye for color and proportions!

Whats that mint "ensemble"? The yellow dress? Ew.

Must be her worst collection so far... It's like there's no vision at all, sometimes she wanna be her in some looks, sometimes it is a poorly done Karl... Then she does awkward things like the fucshia look... I don't get it.

And the YSL wedding dress? Why?
