Staying true to the essence of Chanel, the collection reinterpreted classic motifs such as tweed suits, camellias, and festive suits. Fabrics like taffeta, velvet, and even vinyl were employed in voluminous silhouettes, including capes, puffed pants, oversized sleeves, and peplum skirts. These designs exuded a refined sophistication that perfectly aligned with Chanel's storied heritage.
