DUBAI: Models Nora Attal, Loli Bahia and Mona Tougaard graced the runway at the Chanel showcase during Paris Haute Couture Week on Tuesday. For the latest updates, follow us on Instagram @arabnews.lifestyle The French label’s creative director Virginie Viard whipped extra airiness into the luxury label’s Spring/Summer haute couture show, with thin veils and tufts of tulle that floated down a carpeted runway. The audience sat in a ring under a gigantic button – stamped with the label’s logo. Draped in a sequined mini dress blending shades of black, navy blue and silver, Attal, who is British Moroccan, embodied the grace of a ballerina.

She wore the label’s signature tweed jacket embellished with shiny buttons, square pockets and a ruff collar, paired with shimmery white tights and a miniskirt. Black heeled sandals and a matching hair bow — worn by others throughout the show — finished the look. The ensembles that followed were varied and distinct. Viard added a sheer, black train to a white bustier minidress and trimmed a tweed jacket with transparent balloon sleeves that puffed out just below the elbow. While jackets were cut short, miniskirts were slung low, revealing white, shimmery skin-hugging material underneath. The pastel color palette and shiny, crystal embellishments brought a light touch to the collection, offset with occasional swathes of black tulle that even took the form of trousers. The Paris Spring/Summer haute couture shows run through Jan. 25, featuring collections from the industry’s biggest names, including Giorgio Armani Prive, Zuhair Murad, Elie Saab, Valentino and LVMH-owned Christian Dior and Fendi as well as designers Imane Ayissi, Ronald van der Kemp, Rahul Mishra and Stephane Rolland.
