“Snooze fest”: Chanel’s take on tweed at Paris Fashion Week bores internet

Chanel held its runway show at Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday, March 8, 2022 at 2.00 pm CET. The Fall-Winter 2022 ready-to-wear collection from the label was a tribute to the River Tweed landscape, thus the theme for the show was Infinite Tweed.

The landscape of the River Tweed was very dear to Gabrielle Bonheur Coco Chanel, the namesake and founder of the luxury French brand Chanel. The collection was prepared by Virginie Viard, the Creative Director of the brand.

Tweed has always been the eternal code of the luxury fashion house and through a century of its founding, we have seen Chanel experimenting with tweed fabric multiple times.
