The famous Chanel fashion house chose Paramount Studios in Los Angeles to display the 2023/2024 cruise fashion collection, and the booklet accompanying the show stated that “fashion and cinema lead us to daydreams, fueled by a vibrant invitation to walk towards the lights and not leave the dance floor.”

And there is a great connection between the French fashion house and Hollywood, as Coco Chanel herself was persuaded to come to Hollywood in 1931, by film producer Samuel Goldwyn, to make sure that his films would not look outdated by the time of their release, and she ended up with more than half a dozen works Couture is under her name, according to the site CNN Arabic.

Chanel returns to Los Angeles after an absence of 16 years

The recent fashion show, which was held in Los Angeles, was a tribute to the city, and a reference to the love of Virginie Viard, the creative director of Chanel, for the “City of Angels”, as Chanel returned to Los Angeles after an absence of nearly 16 years..

In line with the development taking place in the world of fashion, for “Chanel”, I began to form this feeling through invitations to attend the show, as the French artist Andre Saraiva designed the invitations to be like posters of musical events, where the name of each guest was included, similar to the headlines. Above the names of famous Chanel ambassadors like Margaret Qualley, Kristen Stewart, and Margot Robbie..

The end result was a Coachella-like atmosphere (in other words, LA-like). And if the goal is to make everyone feel like a star, then Chanel has achieved this goal, and inside the Paramount studio, the runway is equipped much like a football stadium, with tiered seats, billboards and stadium lighting..

Many stars attended, such as Chloe Sevigny, Elle Fanning, Halsey, Chris Jenner, Paris Hilton, and Sofia Richie. Weightlifting on a beach, with a look and performance resembling the character “Barbie” in the nineties.

And there were plenty of Barbie references in the show: trendy pink looks, brightly colored tweed suits, lace dresses and ombré handbags reminiscent of Pacific sunsets..

Some of the pieces showcase bold designs and light, fun colors that are perfect for a doll’s wardrobe; The luminous high heels also appeared in the colors of the rainbow, which appeared in many looks, and this is not the first time that “Chanel” has used luminous heels, as Lagerfeld used them previously in his collections in 2008 and 2011, but Viar’s innovations were highly reflective of nostalgia and femininity..

Ruby is sure to pull off some of these looks during her Barbie media tour, and the collection included black leather dresses, cropped bodysuits, luxe sportswear, and a few designs that paid homage to Old Hollywood glamour with a modern twist..

Viar explained, in the show booklet, that “between the dream on the one hand and what you want to wear on the other hand, it is all a matter of balance.” After the end of the fashion show, the dance floor promised by the show booklet became a reality thanks to a surprising performance from the American rapper Snoop. dogg.
