For Spring/Summer 2023, Chanel explores elegance and modernity in a casual yet formal Chanel look, influenced by Kristen Stewart's style. &nbsp;

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/met-gala-2023-details-karl-lagerfeld-theme-hosts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chanel</a> opened its Spring/Summer 2023 show with a cinematic experience voiced by <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/kristen-stewart-directorial-debut-lidia-yuknavitch-memoir-film-adaptation-the-chronology-of-water" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kirsten Stewart</a>. Images from the 1961 film Last Year Marienbad&nbsp;by Alain Resnais were screened at the Palais &Eacute;ph&eacute;m&egrave;re before the models took the runway.&nbsp;In this collection, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/chanel-fall-winter-2022-collection-virginie-viard-runway-photos-pfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Virgine Viard</a> explores the freedom of movement and expression through the cannon of "<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/what-is-frenchness-fashion-art-culture-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">allure</a>."
&ldquo;Our identities are lifelong, evolving art projects. To know who you are is to adopt an animal subject to change. It&rsquo;s not a fixed notion. The mythologies that define us, that unite us, they&rsquo;re ours to create,&rdquo; narrated Stewart before the show commenced. For Viard, &ldquo;allure&rdquo; is an inner attitude, a step towards one&rsquo;s fulfillment, and never making a spectacle of itself, it is elegance in motion swirling in modernity and lightness. Thus, Viard&rsquo;s &ldquo;allure&rdquo; translates to the collection across easy, loose silhouettes made of silk and chiffon layers. The pearl and feather embellishments appear to add lightness despite looking heavy in the garments.&nbsp;
White and black colors painted the Chanel <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/celebs-paris-fashion-week-spring-summer-2023" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spring/Summer 2023</a> collection through button-down <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/chanel-fall-winter-2021-haute-couture-photos-video" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweed jackets</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/michael-jordan-90s-fashion-style-icon" target="_blank" rel="noopener">baggy shorts</a>. In Viard&rsquo;s imagined collage of glamor, the essence of Stewart&rsquo;s style influenced the collection with pieces that are cool and edgy with lower-slung silhouettes. Viard&rsquo;s modernity took a less formal approach to the Chanel look by incorporating <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/good-buy-five-mini-handbags" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mini handbags</a>, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/wide-leg-pants-trend-instagram" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wide-leg pants</a>, and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/ballet-flats-trend-style-fashion-social-media" target="_blank" rel="noopener">flats</a>.
