During Chanel Spring Summer 2023 Show in Paris, L'Officiel Malaysia caught up with Yuna as she talked the collection and her upcoming tour.

Yuna, our homegrown artist and the long-time friend of Chanel was back in Paris for the house&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.lofficielmalaysia.com/fashion-week/all-the-looks-from-chanel-spring-summer-2023-collection">Spring/Summer 2023 show</a>.&nbsp;
Staged at the Grand Palais &Eacute;ph&eacute;m&egrave;re, Chanel Spring Summer 2023 collection showcases Virginie Viard's <a href="https://www.lofficielmalaysia.com/art/inside-chanel-gabrielle-chanel-at-the-heart-of-cinema-creation">cinematic vision</a> inspired by Alain Resnais' Last Year in Marienbad. Staying authentic to the film's black and white imagery, a monochromatic palette anchors the collection, whilst there's no lack of sequins, bows, pastel tweeds, lace, and light chiffon.
For the show, Yuna put together an edgy look with grand-pix inspired top and pants from <a href="https://www.lofficielmalaysia.com/fashion-week/chanel-cruise-2023-collection-monte-carlo-monaco-fashion-show">Chanel Cruise 2023 collection</a>. And to put a cherry on top, she completed the look with a sequinned Flap Bag and jacket.

What do you think about the collection?
I think it&rsquo;s really beautiful and everything feels like walking out from a French film. I think Virginie Viard did an amazing job keeping everything so stylish, feminine while retaining the silhouettes of Chanel. I think Viard had so much fun with sparkles this season. I love sparkles and I can wear anything with sparkles from the collection.

If you were only allowed one favourite piece from the collection, it would be&hellip;
There&rsquo;s this black oversized, sequinned&nbsp; puffy, dress with sleeves that&rsquo;s I really like.

How ready are you for your upcoming tour in November?
I&rsquo;m kind of ready, I&rsquo;m getting there. I was at the New York Fashion Week and now the Paris Fashion Week. When I&rsquo;m back in the LA, I will be focusing on prepping for the tour and the release of my album, the final installment of my EP. This year, I have released four EPs and this upcoming EP will be my fifth EP, which is the final installment. Hopefully, everything will go well. Normally, after I put out with an album, things will happen naturally. Everything starts to pick up again and I will be busier than ever.

Do you have a formula for writing songs and does it reflect your personality?
I don&rsquo;t know. I let things happen naturally. It helps when I get to work with somebody who understand my personality. I know my personality. Sometimes, I need to work with someone that pulls out the personality and story for me. It&rsquo;s a form of self-expression that is very important for me, that&rsquo;s why I make music. From there, whatever I make connect to my audience.

As a Malaysian based in LA, where do you call home?
Of course, Malaysia. LA is definitely my second home, I made it my second home. I think it&rsquo;s important to do that; not a lot of people get the opportunity to have a second home. You have to just own it. I don&rsquo;t forget about Malaysia, I still fly back to Malaysia quite frequent. I will always call LA my second home. Everyone is invited to LA; give me a call when you are in LA. I always say that whenever I meet friends or Malaysians who want to come to LA. Just DM me. If I&rsquo;m free, I will take you to the Asian foods.

Last but not least, which is your favourite Chanel item?
It&rsquo;d be my red sweater with the Chanel logo at the back. I wear it all the times. Every time I&rsquo;m on tour or travelling, I will bring that sweater with me.
