Foreword by Virginie Viard. Texts by Françoise Claire Prodhon. Interviews with Xavier Veilhan, Charlotte Casiraghi, and Alexis Bertrand.
The House of Chanel entrusted Xavier Veilhan with the set design for three consecutive Haute Couture shows: Spring-Summer 2022, Fall-Winter 2022/23, and Spring-Summer 2023.
This singular dialogue resulted in an original visual universe, blending Veilhan’s poetic imagination and the infinite delicacy of Virginie Viard’s Haute Couture creations. This retrospective, presented in this exceptional book, transports readers behind the scenes to observe each stage of the creative work at the origin of the shows.
From preparatory drawings and details of the embroideries, fabrics, and patterns of the Haute Couture creations, to extracts from the films, photographs of the sets and the runway shows, this book highlights the subtle links woven between fashion and contemporary art.
Exclusive, previously unpublished images take readers inside the Chanel Haute Couture ateliers, revealing the design process and exceptional savoir-faire at their core.
