A closer look at “Virginie Viard Opens Up About Karl Lagerfeld, Chanel Legacy, and Feeling Like an 'Intermis”, exactly as the source publishes it. Virginie Viard, the former artistic director of Chanel, has broken her silence in a revealing new memoir, Un regard: Une vie chez Chanel, detailing her complex relationship with the late Karl Lagerfeld and her struggle to step out of his shadow. Viard, who worked alongside Lagerfeld for over three decades before succeeding him in 2019, describes the pain of being seen as merely an 'intermission' between his era and the next.
She writes candidly about the devastation of that perception and her efforts to carve out her own place in the storied fashion house's history. The book offers an unprecedented look at the inner workings of Chanel, including the intense pressure and scrutiny that came with taking over from one of fashion's most iconic figures.
