Along a cobblestone runway on the riverbanks of the Seine with carefully selected stones painted in a palette of blush, pink, lavender and purple Chanel presented their 2023/24 Fall Haute Couture show. And it was filled with embroidered fruits and flowers that may seem to be delicate in nature, but boldness and confidence was portrayed without a doubt.
This is my translation from fashion design to home design inspired by this show from a few of my favorite runway looks. I literally gasped, paused, and zoomed in on one stunning creation after another. The models seemed to be strolling along the Seine as if going about their day, several with baskets of flowers that could be mistaken for a beautiful purse, one with man's best friend loyally walking next to a lady in an orange coat with gold buttons (Runway Look No. 4) glistening in the sun.
RUNWAY LOOK NO. 31
The iconic black and white boucle was embellished with the traditional gold buttons on some looks and then...then the moving still life-like paintings came with flowers and fruit and trims and even feathers, oh my! The boucle became luminous with threads of silvers, golds, pinks, oranges with the looks panels and gathers billowing from the breezes off the Seine.
In Runway Look No. 31, a coat reminded me of a wedding cake with its floral clad bodice and sleeves and boucle bottom, both immediately brought to mind floral prints for seating, tassels for dangling, and mosaics for walls and floors. All reminiscent of things that need a comeback in interior design.
RUNWAY LOOK NO. 32
Loving the oranges, peaches, blues and yellows of Runway Look No. 32 of the embroidered floral motif on the top front and repeated on the back. This top was paired with a pleated long skirt with pockets! The top reminds me of a rattan texture with a "basket of flowers". And my mind went straight to the adorable Anthropologie Jimena chair in the same colors and then to a Chinoiserie wallpaper that has always been a favorite of mine because of its dreamy vibes.
RUNWAY LOOK NO. 35
Ombre is the word that defined Runway Look No. 35 for me. And with its tulle-like under pinning it also lovingly validated the times when my mom would make us wear pants under our dresses when it was cold, although I don't think we looked near as fashionable as this does.
Velvet floral prints and ombre floral wallpaper are what I translate to home from this runway look.
RUNWAY LOOK NO. 16
I am a fan of moody interiors and the aubergine and purple color families have always been dear to my heart, so it wasn't a surprise when that Runway Look No. 16 was one that I watched again and again. The baubles, gold leafy vines and beaded raspberries on the delicate fabric over the pinstriped trousers marry masculine and feminine so well. Print textiles adorned with fruits and florals and moody painted walls with black woods and vintage-like upholstery pieces are vibing with this look for sure.
There is so much more inspiration from this runway show, this seems like a teaser. Treat yourself to the video from this show and be inspired to bring fashion to your home.
Be inspired!
