Métiers d'Art 2020/21 Chanel
2020 has been anything but 'normal', but thank goodness for the internet and digital world.
Prior to this year, I have not had the chance to see the Chanel fashion show live streaming. Being in Seoul, with 8 hours time zone difference between Korea and France, I decided to actually stay up, watch the BOF Voices 2020 and watch the Chanel Pre-Fall 2021 fashion show at 3am.
Like many other fashion shows, due to COVID-19, travel restrictions, social distancing and lockdowns, fashion shows haven't been the same and many brands have implemented tactical ways to showcase new collections whilst observing safety measures. Le Château des Dames Métiers d'Art 2020/21 started at 7pm Paris time, and this Ready-to-Wear collection is specific to Chanel, celebrating the skills of the artisans.
Paruriers from Desrues, feathermakers from Lemarié, milliners from Maison Michel, embroiderers from Lesage and Atelier Montex, shoemakers from Massaro, goldsmiths from Goossens, glovemakers from Causse Gantier and pleaters from Lognon, in Paris and in France.
This year, the show of the 2020/21 Métiers d’art collection was held at the Château de Chenonceau, located in the Loire Valley and also known as “Le Château des Dames”.
