Before Virginie Viard bowed out of Chanel, her enchanting fall 2024 show, presented at the Grand Palais Éphémère in Paris, took guests on a spiritual journey to Deauville, the resort town in Normandy where Coco Chanel once ran a boutique. Vogue’s Tonne Goodman and photographer Malick Bodian went directly to the source to shoot the collection, capturing models Lulu Tenney and Angelina Kendall on Deauville’s shimmering seashore in clothes both coolly classic and utterly fantastic.
Kendall kicks up her heels—and her hemline—in a reversible silk-satin dress, showcasing the drama of the collection. Tenney embodies a dreamy aesthetic in a creamy, tweedy dress that feels like a cozy knit, proving that comfort and style can coexist.
Actor Abraham Wapler, who will next appear in Cédric Klapisch’s La Venue de l’Avenir, due out in early 2025, basks in the breezy charm of Breton stripes, adding a touch of casual elegance to the collection.
Tenney wears a belted jacket and trousers in cashmere tweed, while Kendall’s are crafted from cashmere and silk, demonstrating the collection’s commitment to luxurious fabrics. The pair steal off in printed silk-muslin dresses, showcasing the collection’s playful side.
Gauzy dresses and big hats—perfect for languid summer days—complete the collection’s dreamy and timeless feel. In this story: hair, Odile Gilbert; makeup, Gregoris Pyrpylis. Menswear Editor: Michael Philouze; Produced by Prospero Production.
