Virginie Viard brought her own voice to Chanel's Spring/Summer 2022 Haute Couture collection.

Calling back to the brand's Spring/Summer 2021 Haute Couture collection, Chanel's Spring/Summer 2022 Haute Couture show opened with brand ambassador and noted horsewoman Charlotte Casiraghi riding down the runway on horseback. In past seasons, Viard relied heavily on punk inspirations. However, this year, the designer clung to some of the fashion house's more traditional sartorial codes as the anchor for her interpretations.
When you think of Chanel, you think of a structured tweed jacket and skirt, but Viard prefers to play with movement. A-line garments were abutted with feather details and chiffon accents. Trousers with matching jackets present slit sides and new palazzo silhouettes, while one pair is made up entirely of feathers.&nbsp;
No, it was not the gut-punching fashion of Karl Lagerfeld, but, instead, Viard offered her own ode to the Chanel legacy. One garment recreates the tweed pattern with sequins, while another features the same technique mimicking a patchwork of different pastel tweeds.
As the show progressed, eveningwear became the clear winner. From ethereal white and pastel gowns to darker, deconstructed styles, the collection featured a number of ensembles that grabbed the audience's attention for their amalgamation of fragile and rigid, demure and sexy. Even some of the more punk-leaning outfits incorporated sheer materials to balance out the upscale grunge aesthetic.
For the collection's final look, audience members were treated to a silk and chiffon wedding gown with jewelled detailing on the straps and neckline. The angelic garb contrasted the show's opening look, a black tweed jacket with jewelled buttons, demonstrating the two ends of a spectrum the Viard toiled between throughout the collection.
