Virginie Viard’s Haute Couture collection livens up the formal space with multicoloured tweeds, ruffled skirts, and extravagant gowns. 

The return of in-person fashion shows could not have come at a better time &mdash; with Chanel&rsquo;s haute couture collection impressing audiences everywhere. The gorgeous architecture of the Palais Galliera provided an uncomplicated canvas for Viard to feature her vibrant take on winter.

"Because I love seeing colour in the gray winter sky, I really wanted a special collection that was colourfully embroidered, something warm.”

Viard&rsquo;s vision featured an array of polychromatic tweed ensembles, elaborate and textured skirts, statement embroidered dresses, and chic gowns that reflect the timelessness of Parisian style.&nbsp;

And what a show it was &mdash; Gone are the days where runways only exist in a singular line. Models walking the show explored levels and rounded arches of the galleria&rsquo;s architectural design: invoking positive emotions in the audience via the vibrancy of the collection and the intimate space between them.

Margaret Qualley ended off the show with a playful strut in her elegant bridal dress, polka-dotted chiffon veil, and a bouquet of flowers in her hands &mdash; smiling all the way. And, of course, in proper ceremonial tradition, there was a cheeky bridal toss at the end of it.&nbsp;
