Created in 2002 to pay tribute to the French fashion savoir-faire endlessly reinvented in a constant dialogue between the House of Chanel and its artisans, the Métiers d’art collection is, each year, an exceptional rendezvous. Today, the collection expresses the creative power of Virginie Viard, Artistic Director of Fashion Collections, and combines the expertise of Chanel’s Métiers d’art circle, bringing together several hundred embroiderers, feather workers, paruriers, pleaters, shoemakers, hatters and glove-makers located in Paris, the rest of France and Italy. For the 2020/21 Métiers d’art collection, Chanel’s artisan accomplices live up to expectations more than ever, with creations that draw inspirations from different eras – from the Renaissance to Romanticism – mixes various elements together, for looks that are at once rock but still very girly. Very Chanel.
