Chanel S/S 2026 Paris

Maybe it worked better for the purpose in question. Some of Alber Elbaz's iconic SS08 dresses were made entirely out of polyester—it's not unheard of.

Sure, but not at Chanel price points. Synthetic material feels different. Less breathable and doesn't feel nearly as good.

Liu, Eva, Kendall, Lulu, Mica, Julia attended the show. (I'd like to see them shining on the runway rather than in the audience, except Kendall!)

My best guess is that silk would be too precious and formal for such the design's goals. The Chanel suit is designed in a way that it can be dressed up/down and I imagine that Blazy wanted to keep that.

My best guess is that silk will give them lower gross margin...
I will not pay Chanel price for viscose. N.F.W.

Ok I i finally got to watch the whole video,

And this is coming from a huge Karl Lagerfeld fan. It was a necessary show they needed a overhaul, it's kind of a mixed bag a little all over the place , but it came out and it worked. The set was amazing but karl already did the set for Lagerfeld gallery. He has a lot of room to grow and he has no choice but to grow.I'm very happy for him tonight.I wish him the most of success.

But my favorite numbers were the tweed numbers. Can anybody tell me what the set had to do with the clothing?
I'm waiting for the couture and that where we will really be able to read him.

But my biggest take away is that Karl Lagerfeld was a genius. But Mathieu's is creative, almost artistic? And he's gonna have to formulate that into something real.

I really do not know what to say or how I feel about this. One thing I will say is that it's nice to see clothes that move and flounce about when everything has been stiff recently at many brands. The planets and stars were pretty. Haute couture will be when I can truly make a decision and statement on how I feel about him at Chanel.

Others are stepping up their game left and right and he's just doing him: that's confidence.
I don't imagine Awar doing a final twirl every season but it works this time, it feels genuine and present. Some pieces looked special without looking like they were trying at all. Of all the casual ballgowns idea, esp. in comparison to his ex's, I prefer him.
and Charvet really has the best shirts. I wonder if the hats come from Maison Michel anymore or it's just in studio.
This PFW is giving major new air

TBH, I would probably have loved this collection much more if it had been done by Stefano Pilati or Olivier Theyskens — the two names I’ve always hoped would take the helm once Viard officially steps down. We are always like that, aren’t we? Inevitably biased toward what we’ve known and loved for so long. But the world never moves according to our will.

I think it will take another collection for me to truly grasp Matthieu’s vision and direction for the house — and I genuinely cannot wait for Métiers d’Art in Dec.

God...the fit of Blazy´s is atrocious. This is totally "when I saw it in Aliexpress VS when it arrived"...

I think Blazy nailed the brief. It was within the bounds of what is expected from Chanel but pulled to the year 2025. It wasn’t flashy, even if the set is gorgeous; and it wasn’t new. There’s still a bit of that muteness I see from many modern CDs but it’s just that. All in all though the pieces were solid.

He can build a solid foundation from this and I feel like in the next few years he’ll be able to form more of what is his Chanel woman.
