Viard advances Chanel through gentleness and proportion.

Her work refines rather than disrupts — quiet evolutions of line and silhouette that keep the house’s architecture intact while softening its edge.

Structural Focus

Body as Measure

Human scale, movement, or wear calibrates the work. Proportion is felt physically rather than visually alone.

In Virginie Viard’s work, this approach appears where continuity structures silhouette.

Constructed Surfaces

Surfaces are built through layering, joining, and controlled fabrication.

Systems of Clarity

Order and coherence arise through disciplined systems and constraints.

Proportion organizes coherence through measured intervals, scale, and relation.

Structure holds the work through rules, joins, and controlled relationships between parts.

Material behavior governs form through weight, resistance, and constraint.

Form is constructed around the body through material, proportion, and movement.

Current practice engages inherited structures under present conditions.
