I think it depends on who you ask

i think he try to do mickey mouse comic eyes without doing a collab as there is more comic ref.in the collection.

Lol because comics are now exclusively Belgian? That's a real reach. It's not as if we got Tintin cosplay on the Chanel runway...

I can do Tintin! Fitted pants (to run in). Flat lace ups but soft. (Borrow from Celine). A classic trench, maybe with quiet trims. The supermarket collection lesage trench will do. A newsboy cap. Nice earrings. This is more New York, or Tintin on the go!

It's ironic that 90% of the people seated in the front row haven't entered an actual subway train for years.

Watching the celebs and rich people try and go through the subway turnstile was (unintentionally) hilarious.

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.

LOL journalism

This isn’t the first video I’ve seen of people calling the location of the show a “recession indicator” or “dystopian” (and comments seem to agree). Fully convinced this collection was Blazy’s attempt at pandering to the working class, I don’t think choosing Bowery was socioeconomic commentary but rather cultural storytelling. I also don’t think a brand like Chanel is trying to be relatable to the working class but I’m still pretty new to fashion. What do you guys think?

Also, If this was the met or a celeb get together I’d somewhat agree with her point as most of them are very out of touch, but it’s a fashion show

LOL journalism

When it comes to MB, Pieter Mulier, The Row, and Dario Vitale, Lauren Sherman is a fangirl first and foremost and a journalist second. Her podcast is even worse… it’s my favorite hate-listen
I also feel like she hasn’t had a real scoop in ages, f she ever had one.

“It was quite important to be back with another energy, another way to look at the city, another understanding than the one we had in December ’2018. it was the end of something. It was important for Karl,” Bruno Pavlovsky, president of fashion and president of Chanel SAS, said of returning for its Métiers d’Art show after seven years

“Here with Matthieu, it’s the beginning. So the difference, it’s another way to look at the city. Now we’re in the Lower East Side and before, we were in the Upper East Side. Everything is opposite, and that’s part of New York,” Pavlovsky continued.

“At Chanel, with Matthieu and before Matthieu, we love to travel,” Pavlovsky said. “I think it’s quite important to be able to go where our clients are. This idea of being connected daily, to go where they are, where they live, whatever happens, it’s something which is super important. And Chanel being a global brand, it’s part of our job to connect, to travel, to go everywhere.”

“We are a beholder, and we have to embrace the world and our clients everywhere. We are not going to New York to try to do or to duplicate some things that we can do in Paris or in Tokyo. We’re going to New York because we want to be part of the city, the vibe, the energy of the city. Everything we’re doing is linked with the city in a very free interpretation that’s Matthieu’s interpretation, Chanel’s interpretation,” he explained.



WSJ dec 2 2025
Pavlovsky defended Chanel’s price tags, noting they reflect the cost of craftsmanship, high quality and labor. “We have not increased our margin,” he said. “The best of the best is expensive and not always accessible.”

The U.S. is Chanel’s largest market, Pavlovsky said. The brand believes it’s important for Chanel to stay close to its top customers, who Pavlovsky said spend around $100,000 annually with the brand. Florida and California are key markets, he said.

Recently introduced handbags, such as the slouchy Chanel 25, have helped the brand find new customers, though Pavlovsky said Chanel was more interested in keeping its top shoppers happy.

Recruiting new clients, Pavlovsky said, “is not an obsession at Chanel.”
NY TIMES dec 3 2025

As it happens, the decision to hold his second show in New York was both personal and strategic. Chanel has a long history in the United States, which is its largest market for ready-to-wear, according to Bruno Pavlovsky, the head of fashion.

So did Mr. Blazy, who lived in the city earlier in his career when he worked at Calvin Klein. That experience, he said, made him love the subway in part because it has “no hierarchy.”
That’s an awfully romantic (some might say out of touch or even tone deaf) way to think about what for many is a painful part of the daily routine and a symbol of New York’s decline. But for a few hours on Tuesday, Mr. Blazy actually made mass transit seem like the most gorgeous way to go.
