Chanel doubles down on tweeds for fall fashion show

Sharjah24 – Reuters: The catwalk presentation took place on the last day of Paris Fashion Week, wrapping up a string of industry shows held also in New York, London and Milan.
Chanel creative director Virginie Viard wove patches of bright colours -- pink, turquoise and purple -- into the autumn-toned lineup, accessorising looks with thick thigh-high stockings, striking wader boots and the label’s famous chain strap handbags, some in mini sizes.

Reflecting the somber mood caused by the war in Ukraine, the Beatles song "A Day in the Life" was played as models in school-girl hair styles sashayed past the celebrity-stacked front row, parading looks ranging from smart to slouchy, a few with bare shoulders.

Chanel said on Friday it would suspend business in Russia, along with rivals LVMH, Hermes and Gucci-owner Kering.
