I think that it signals the attitude.For me if we talk about fabrics and quality, the test for Chanel with Blazy is not necessarily on those very precious pieces. The pieces that I like and that I want to buy are the simplest.
To see his whole vision with the commercial version of this show and the pre-collections will be a key.
Metiers D’Arts will be in the same vain because it’s again extremely precious clothes. I think people at the re-see were attracted to wow pieces.
Chanel’s issue even under Virginie was never regarding knitwear and tweed. We saw overpriced denim with glued sequins, bags that have a new process of tannery that changed the quality…etc.
Having Matthieu now is an opportunity for Chanel to totally challenge everything, down to their production. I saw some classic denims, good leathers on some looks of the attendees wearing the new collection.
The question regarding a use of synthetics on 50K coats is not really relevant to the challenges Chanel is facing.
And the condescending way to preach for viscose as if we have never worn better...
This is the bigger problem, and maybe partly why Chanel is facing challenges.
