Chanel, Armani offer contrasting elegance at Paris Couture Week

Models present creations for Giorgio Armani Prive during the Women's Haute-Couture Fall/Winter 2025-26 collection show at Palazzo Armani in Paris.--AFP photos Paris Haute Couture Week Fall/Winter 2025–26 opened with two distinct expressions of elegance as Chanel and Giorgio Armani Privé unveiled their latest collections. Chanel presented its final studio-led show at the Grand Palais before Matthieu Blazy assumes creative direction in September. Staged in the Salon d'Honneur, the collection featured soft tweeds in ivory, beige and brown, accented with feathers and shimmer. A standout look—a silvery-blue gown layered under a yellow feather-trimmed bomber—offered a playful twist on the house's refined codes. The intimate, salon-style format paid homage to Chanel's heritage. Giorgio Armani Privé celebrated its 20th anniversary with a show filled with velvet sophistication. Though designer Giorgio Armani was absent due to medical rest, the collection stayed true to his vision: black velvet pantsuits, glittering gowns, sculptural bustiers and oversized bows created an atmosphere of timeless glamour. The show was held at the brand's historic venue on Avenue Montaigne. Together, the two fashion houses underscored the enduring power of haute couture—from Parisian polish to Italian allure—setting a high bar for the season.— Reuters Chanel Chanel Chanel Chanel Chanel Chanel Chanel Chanel Chanel Chanel Chanel Models present creations for Chanel during the Women's Haute-Couture Fall/Winter 2025-26 collection show in Paris.--AFP photos Chanel Giorgio Armani Prive Giorgio Armani Prive Giorgio Armani Prive Giorgio Armani Prive Giorgio Armani Prive Giorgio Armani Prive Giorgio Armani Prive Giorgio Armani Prive Giorgio Armani Prive Giorgio Armani Prive Giorgio Armani Prive Giorgio Armani Prive Giorgio Armani Prive Giorgio Armani Prive Giorgio Armani Prive Giorgio Armani Prive Giorgio Armani Prive Giorgio Armani Prive Giorgio Armani Prive Giorgio Armani Prive Giorgio Armani Prive
