This evening, Chanel announced that Virginie Viard would be stepping down from her duties as the house’s artistic director. She’s held the position for the last five years but has worked for Chanel for three decades. Viard was best known as Karl Lagerfeld’s closest design confidant and his number two up until she took the creative reins at the house after he passed away in 2016.
During her tenure as artistic director, Viard worked to continue Lagerfeld’s design legacy while also infusing her youth-minded approach, introducing designs that spoke to a new generation of Chanel customers with a discerning eye and a penchant for playful yet pragmatic clothes.
