A roundup of fashion world intel: Matthieu Blazy’s Chanel haters,...
Am I Matthieu-Pilled?
While most people, myself included, really loved
Matthieu Blazy’s second Chanel show, there were
some detractors.
A few things came out of the discourse (mostly with Europeans) that I think are worth addressing here.
First, this show did not have a clear throughline in terms of silhouette like the last one did.
But it was filled with color, texture, and
whimsy, which is the top priority for the legacy Chanel customer.
For me, that was the point—and a large part of the point of a Métiers d’art show to begin with.
Also, at the re-see this morning, it was clear how fabulous the shoes and bags actually are, and how well they will do.
For instance, Blazy is taking back ownership of the archaic gold-foiled logo bag stamp by making it look ultra shiny and gilded, potentially reversing all our bad feelings about it.
Another thing: I don’t think the clothes photographed so well in the subway lighting, but oh well. It was a moment.
And, yes, I, too, did not like the
Michel Gondry commercial.
Finally, I stand by everything I said yesterday: Blazy’s Chanel is going to lift up
everyone. I promise.
