The Chanel design team did a beautiful job again. I love many of the looks, daywear and evening wear alike, and the color palette is alive and gorgeous. The clothes look lighter and breezier. The design is more interesting. Bravo!

It's very Coco Chanel. The actual designer so it has a very dated look. It's not ready for 2025 or maybe it is everything is so dull nowadays that bride was just beyond subpar.
Lots of wonderful details Chanel own some of the best embroidery houses the world has ever seen.
None of that can help if you don't have a designer with direction! colors all over the place no cohesion whatsoever. Just a collection of beautiful fillers.
The set means nothing without a great collection

This is the best piece of the show that jacket is the best thing in the collection! question to all the women in this chat do you guys like short pants that stop at the knee? We have seen it so many times at other houses but particularly at Chanel and Chanel couture pants that stop at the knee and Coco hated that.
Watching this makes me understand while Maria it's still at Christian Dior they're holding on to her especially if she can sell couture in mass numbers she's doing a good job.

It's unbearable that we still have to endure:

Fall 2025 RTW​

​

Resort 2026 RTW​

​

Fall 2026 Haute Couture​

​

Before there's any perceivable design shift at Chanel. It's purgatory.

Oh Karl. 🙏🥲🥹

You might have the best craftmanship in the world... and you use it for this?
The lack of imagination of these silhouettes is astonishing.

Oh my god 😩🙃😂😂😂😂 dude that is absolutely crazy so no one in the studio said I don't know about this look.

so no diversity hires anymore?

I can’t with that baby blue satin-ish cape I cannot. It’s like they tried to mix Alexander McQueen’s “The Girl Who Lived in The Tree” silhouette with the energy of John Galliano’s parachute dress for Dior… it’s bad… really bad

And the music is so Alexander McQueen (or at least the YouTube livestream’s)…

That shiny fabric on those collars is so tacky. That set looks nice. But is drowned out in that space. Nothing works here. It’s beyond sad that Chanel is in this state. Have they learned nothing from Karl?

They learned nothing they didn't even care.

Alber Elbaz outshined Chanel Couture with a ready-to-wear dress he designed in 2008 and crafted out of... polyester.

(I actually have the persimmon dress and the construction is so, so, so clever)

To whoever dares to criticize this collection, remember all that 2 years ago we had girls wearing magician hats and tiny bowties coming out of cheap wooden animal replicas and walking over a dirty gray flooring...

Thank you for putting me in my place, that one was humbling 😄😄😄

Can’t wait for Blazy to take over and clean that mess!

Cue in intrecciato tweed skirts 😈

 

[Thefrenchy]

To be honest, it does its job. It feels very commercially friendly. There's a bit for everyone (who can afford it ) and that's fine. Let's not act like Blazy is going to bring in the signature of a grand couturier

The set was cute.

The set was cute.

I was about to say the set looks pretty tragic too but to each of his own~~

I think there was this documentary on Alber Elbaz in Lanvin where they actually showed the behind-the-scenes for the production of this particular collection? I still remember one scene where Alber was telling the seamstress to hand-pleat one of the dresses… omg all these talk is making me tearing up

Quoting Carrie Bradshaw, I can’t help to wonder what would an Alber Elbaz Chanel haute couture collection would look like given that he did so many beautiful tweed jackets in Lanvin too…

(I have to embed this video because I want all of you to cry together with me)

The only women I have seen wearing this cut were old ladies.

I find the whole existence of tweed shorts wrong. It looks itchy as hell.

Very few pants in the collection. Weird.

To be fair, if I recall correctly it was a very high quality Japanese technical polyester...
