BURO Spotlights: A closer look backstage at the Chanel Haute Couture AW23 show in Paris

As we wait for another fashion season to start, we look back at the highly masterful, detailed, innovative, and artistic craftsmanship of the Haute Couture collections from earlier this month, specifically, the very Parisian line by Chanel’s Virginie Viard, imagined on the banks of the Seine river. “This time, we’re in Paris on the quayside. The street and colourful paving stones call for both sophistication and simplicity,” says the artistic maestro.

Flowing silhouettes, delicate fabrics, and intricate floral embroidery celebrated the grace and femininity of each model. Exquisite flower motifs adorned the garments, while bold colours and unexpected textures added a contemporary twist. The collection exuded a sense of timeless sophistication—pushing the boundaries of haute couture yet never forgetting to pay homage to Chanel’s iconic heritage.

You’ve seen the celebrity guests, the stunning models, and the picturesque show ambience. Here, we give you a closer look at the collection backstage, courtesy of Chanel.
