Chanel’s much-awaited 2023/24 Métiers d’art collection came to life on Thomas Street, nestled in the vibrant northern district of Manchester.

Distinct from the regular fashion week calendar, the Metiers d’Art showcases select cities for each event.

The esteemed French luxury fashion house expressed its decision to feature the 2023/24 show in Manchester, lauding it as “a city brimming with pop culture vibrancy and avant-garde spirit, where diverse music genres and groundbreaking bands have left an indelible mark on history.”

ALIVE WITH A VIBRANT POP SPIRIT BORN IN MANCHESTER AND KEPT ALIVE ACROSS THE DECADES, THE CHANEL 2023/34 MÉTIERS D’ART SHOW EMBRACES THE CREATIVE DIALOGUE BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN AND THE HOUSE, SO DEAR TO GABRIELLE CHANEL AND TODAY TO ARTISTIC DIRECTOR OF THE FASHION COLLECTIONS, VIRGINIE VIARD. A TESTIMONY TO THE ARTISANAL PRECISION OF THE MÉTIERS D’ART, THE COLLECTION SHIMMERS AND SHINES WITH PLAYFUL NODS TO BRITISH MUSIC CULTURE AND CHANEL’S ART OF TAILORING. CONTRASTING AUTUMNAL AND VIVID COLOURS, ENCRUSTED TEXTURES, PURE SILHOUETTES AND CAREFREE ATTITUDES INVOKE A SOFT YET AUDACIOUS FEMININITY.
