Chanel: Reinventing Heritage with Tweed and Playful Elegance
A Tribute to Iconic Tweed with a Modern Twist
Chanel’s Fall/Winter 2025 collection at Paris Fashion Week was a masterful blend of heritage and innovation. Under the house’s new creative direction, the collection paid homage to Gabrielle Chanel’s signature fabric: tweed. However, this season, the material was reimagined with fresh silhouettes and unexpected detailing.
The runway featured classic tweed suits updated with relaxed fits, asymmetrical cuts, and fluid movement, proving that tradition can evolve without losing its essence. Skirt suits were paired with knee-high boots, while long tweed coats flowed effortlessly, exuding a sense of refined nonchalance.
Bows and Ruffles: A Playful Romanticism
A key detail of this collection was the bow, seen in various forms—from hair accessories to delicate embellishments on garments. Supermodel Naomi Campbell graced the runway wearing a statement hair bow, adding a touch of nostalgia and femininity to the collection. Ruffles and pleated fabrics also played a significant role, bringing an element of soft, structured movement to many looks.
The color palette stayed true to Chanel’s elegance, with a mix of classic monochrome, pastel shades, and rich jewel tones. The juxtaposition of soft textures and structured tailoring created a perfect balance between power and delicacy.
Chanel’s Timeless Legacy, Reimagined
With the appointment of Matthieu Blazy as the new Creative Director, Chanel stands at the dawn of a new era. His arrival brings high expectations as he prepares to infuse the house’s timeless codes with his fresh perspective.
This collection reaffirms Chanel’s position as a beacon of elegance, ensuring that tweed, bows, and ruffles will remain at the forefront of luxury fashion for seasons to come.
