Chanel reveals its Fall Winter 2020-2021 Haute Couture Collection by Virginie Viard in a short film on its Instagram and Youtube channel

70&#39;s Punk meets luxury this Fall/Winter season. With <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/how-to-stream-attend-digital-fashion-week" target="_blank">fashion week going digital</a>, Chanel unveiled&nbsp;its latest haute couture designs in a short online film shot by Mikael Jansson. This film stars&nbsp;Dutch model Van Rompaey and&nbsp;highly-acclaimed Adut Akech as they preview few looks from the collection. Unlike <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/chanel-haute-couture-spring-2020-runway-show" target="_blank">Chanel&#39;s Spring Summer 2020 Haute Couture</a> Collection that reflected simplicity and rigor, creative director Virginie Viard opted for a sophisticated eccentricity this season.

&ldquo;I was thinking about a punk princess coming out of &lsquo;Le Palace&rsquo; at dawn,&rdquo;&nbsp;says&nbsp;Virginie Viard.&nbsp;&ldquo;With a taffeta dress, big hair, feathers and lots of jewelry.&quot;

This 30 piece <a href="http://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/dior-couture-fall-2020-surrealist-collection" target="_blank">couture collection</a> is inspired by Karl Lagerfeld and his time at the legendary Paris nightclub &#39;Le Palace&#39; as he was accompanied by sophisticated and eccentric women like Grace Jones and Paloma Picasso. Chanel&#39;s Fall-Winter 2020-2021 Haute Couture <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/Dior-mens-x-shawn-stussy-collection-hits-stores" target="_blank">collection</a> is defined&nbsp;by its&nbsp;desire&nbsp;for an alluring grandeur as&nbsp;certain pieces are matched with jewels from Chanel High <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/talking-with-giovanna-battaglia-engelbert-first-creative-director-of-swarovski" target="_blank">Jewelry</a> Collection.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Viard presents a nonchalant elegance in her pieces that ranges from short dresses with cinched waists, corolla skirts, black trouser suits adorned with diamond-like braiding, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/fall-2020-trends-fashion-week" target="_blank">19th Century French-inspired</a>&nbsp;dresses, to Chanel&#39;s <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/princess-diana-style" target="_blank">iconic</a> tweed&nbsp;two-piece sets. The collection features collaborators from Chanel&rsquo;s embroidery partners Lesage, Atelier Montex, Lemari&eacute;, and Goossens. The black and charcoal grey tones that dominate the collection are highlighted by hints of pink in select looks like the&nbsp;tweed mid-length dress.&nbsp;

The tweed pieces are embellished with sequins, strass, stones&nbsp;and beads. Along with its <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/leather-handbags-to-shop-now" target="_blank">classic</a> tweed, Chanel&#39;s latest collection features painted lace on&nbsp;bolero jackets and a jacket with a smocked waist, styled with black suede boot trousers that conjures&nbsp;an ultra-rock romanticism visual. Viard blends&nbsp;romanticism and eccentricity to create a&nbsp;complex sophistication that evokes an alluring <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/net-a-porter-celebrates-20-years" target="_blank">luxuriousness</a>.&nbsp;

&ldquo;For me, Haute Couture is romantic by its very essence. There is so much love in each one of these silhouettes,&rdquo; says Viard.&nbsp;
