Chanel's spring/summer 2025 haute couture collection melds Parisian heritage and soft allure
The mention of Chanel evokes a world of femininity and luxury. Marking its 110th year in haute couture, the maison has continually reshaped the sartorial landscape, creating pieces that feel just as resonant today as they did in the past. For spring/summer 2025, the brand honours its heritage while stepping into a lighter, more evocative chapter that feels almost cinematic. The sheer, flowy dress boasts exquisite feathered shoulders, cinched in with a belt for a classy finishing touch. Valentin Giacobetti
While Coco Chanel's mastery of black remains legendary, her instinct for colour was equally visionary. This season moves through an expansive palette—crisp whites and soft pastels alongside saturated jewel tones, anchored by Chanel's signature black and deep midnight blue. Coco Chanel's love for the use of black is evident in this glittering black dress, complemented with a flowing train. Valentin Giacobetti
Tweeds, a defining element of the house, are refreshed with expressive strokes and intricate embroidery, appearing in unexpected hues with linings that offer subtle contrasts. Graphic braids and statement buttons, adorned in rhinestones, rock crystals and metal work, add refined touches to each look, while velvet belts and strappy shoes continue the playful spirit with an array of rich tones. A reimagining on the house's signature codes, this tweed set brings about a fresh perspective to the famed design. Valentin Giacobetti
Silhouettes brim with new energy to Chanel's signature codes. Languid gowns and spirited mini dresses glide with ease, crafted from fabrics that feel almost weightless. The craftsmanship is unmistakable—delicate featherwork, meticulous embroidery—yet everything feels lived-in and fluid, merging the precision of haute couture with a more relaxed sensibility. There is a cinematic duality at play here—light and shadow, softness and edge—subtle details that nod to Parisian mystique without losing its modish spirit. An enchanting chiffon ensemble in pastel tones is gracefully adorned with delicate featherwork. Valentin Giacobetti
Standout pieces quietly captivate. An ethereal silk chiffon dress in pastel tones, its feathers traced with tiny gems along the straps, mirrored in the jewelled buttons of sheer gloves. A drop-waist dress, combining an embroidered bodice with a pleated skirt, radiates a certain enchanting grace, while a glittering minidress that fades from white to black visually epitomises day-to-night, its sheer black skirt finishing the ensemble with a touch of depth. A captivating piece—a glistening pastel dress complete with an embroidered bodice and a pleated skirt. Valentin Giacobetti
Other pieces—such as a sparkling black top with a chiffon ruffle and floral pants, a glittering midnight blue tweed cape set and a long, sand-toned cape draped over an embellished gown—hold their own space to shine. A sparkling black top adorned with chiffon ruffle, is paired with floral pants. Valentin Giacobetti
Crafted by the in-house design team, this offering feels like a carefully considered pause between creative eras. It draws deeply from the luxury brand's artistry while exploring the full range of its vision, particularly through colour. Tweed is reimagined into a longer silhouette, draped over an embroidered dress in a matching hue. Valentin Giacobetti
A delicate fusion of the familiar and contemporary, serving as a reminder that Chanel's story is still being written in manner that evolves gently while never straying from its core.

Sabalenka and Swiatek set for French Open semi-final blockbuster
PARIS - The French Open women's singles semi-finals take centre stage at Roland Garros on Thursday, when world number one Aryna Sabalenka meets four-times champion Iga Swiatek in a match worthy of a title clash. In the other last-four encounter, wildcard Lois Boisson will look to continue her inspired run on home soil when she plays 2022 runner-up Coco Gauff. SABALENKA, SWIATEK SET FOR BLOCKBUSTER Belarusian Sabalenka has been the poster girl for Grand Slam consistency in the last few years, storming into the semi-finals in nine of the last 10 majors she has competed in to emerge as a genuine threat to Swiatek's supremacy on Parisian clay. The 27-year-old top seed's growing composure and mental fortitude on the biggest stage means that the wobbles she once experienced have become distant memories, while her retooled serve and power can blow away opponents on any surface. She has harnessed all those qualities during her run to the last four without conceding a set, dismantling Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen 7-6(3) 6-3 in the last round. Swiatek, who is on a 26-match winning run at the French Open, represents the biggest test in Sabalenka's bid to win a maiden Roland Garros title and add more silverware to her trophy cabinet that contains U.S. and Australian Open crowns. Having locked down the top ranking since April 2022, the duo renew their rivalry having become a little closer after making a TikTok video at last year's season-ending WTA Finals in Riyadh and practising together thereafter. "Before, there wasn't any communication or any practice with her, but now we're getting better. We get along and we practise more often. We know each other well," Sabalenka said. "We've had a lot of great battles in the past ... I'm super excited to go out there and to fight and to do everything I need to get the win." GULF IN CLASS ON CLAY Fifth seed Swiatek leads the overall head-to-head record with Sabalenka at 8-4 but the gulf in class on clay is a little more evident at 5-1 in favour of the 24-year-old. Having moved on from a distracting doping case for which she served a month-long ban last year, Swiatek has had to fight hard at her favourite hunting ground this year to beat Elena Rybakina in three sets before overcoming Elina Svitolina last time out. Swiatek may need to call upon that battling mentality again when she faces a hungry Sabalenka, whose only claycourt victory over the reigning Paris champion came in the 2023 Madrid final. "I know what I'm fighting about and I know that my game is somewhere there even when the moment is tough. At Roland Garros I should always push until the end and fight for everything ... I maybe believe it a bit more," Swiatek said. "I don't know if she elevates my game. Against every player, we play a different way so it's hard to compare. But our rivalry is pushing both of us." GAUFF FACES BOISSON, FRENCH CROWD American second seed Coco Gauff will be up against not just a plucky Boisson but the partisan French crowd as well when the 2022 runner-up takes on the wildcard in the other semi-final, hoping to take a step towards a second major title. "I've been in crowds where they're 99% for me, so I don't have an issue with it. I hope everyone will be respectful and things. If not, it's cool," Gauff said before the 361st-ranked Boisson stunned sixth seed Mirra Andreeva. "It makes sports exciting and I can't get irritated at the fact that someone's rooting for their hometown hero, because I would do the same. It's something I'll mentally prepare for if it were to happen and expect and be ready for."
