Virginie Viard presented her second Haute Couture collection, for Spring/Summer 2020, for Chanel at the Grand Palais in Paris, as usual.
This time, the Grand Palais morphed into a replica of the late designer’s childhood convent school at Cistercian Abbey of Aubazine, where Coco Chanel spent part of her childhood at an orphanage. The theme was echoed in the designs (with floral embroidery, translucent fabrics and rustic wovens meant to call back to the French countryside) and in the styling (uniform sets and socks with loafers).
